Thread: what are some classes and jobs that you would like to see in 3.0

A real pet class like Beastmaster, where you don't fight much yourself but control your pet instead.
Not like the auto mode Summoner pets.

Samurai.
A gun or crossbow class.
Blue Mage would be cool too.

Just thought of a new one,
Class butcher
Weapon cleaver

Some sort of physical ranged or melee pet class. Like Beast master or Ranger. Could just play off of Archer.

Musketeer, Red Mage, Time Mage, Samurai, Dancer,

but above all, we need whatever that comes in 3.0 first, to be a tank that people will want to play...
I can live a couple extra months of not having more dps if it gives us another tank first.

I want this gun class!

Skeptical? The game already does it! I mean for peats sake, take away the "heat generation" attribute from the WAR and PLD and what do you get? A DPS class. Take away the healing spells what do you get? A DPS class. There is NOTHING that sets one class from another. You can literally play every single DPS all and see no difference outside of the flashy weaponskill graphics they get. I'm not even close to joking.

Sick and tired of being able to group them into a role? That's how SE intended it and that's how it should stay. This isn't FFXI where you can pull all kinds of ridiculous crap because the players don't want to play classes like they were intended (Ninja tank? ludicrous).

Healing, Hate Generation, damage

I can mix and match these single 3 attributes between all the classes and they could all perform them EXACTLY the same way PERFECTLY with little to no difference in how they execute their skills.

Take a good hard look at every single combat class in this game and point out more than 3 differences between the healer,tank, and DPS. Go ahead, try it. I'm sure you'll struggle for about 5 mins before giving up and calling me some raging troll followed by "If you don't like the game that much, there's the door" remark.(If you don't, then you have my respect and I apologize for the potshot.)

1. Healers heal
2. Tanks have emnity skills
3. DPS don't do either of above (not efficiently)

Sure my job idea most likely have tons of balancing holes in it but it's a right side more creative than what we've seen so far. To be frank, I'm not getting my hopes up for anything new aside from flashy weaponskill graphics from the Ninja and other job to be introduced soon.

Would it kill SE to make a unique class for peats sake? :/

Your job idea is imbalanced from job skill at level 30. As I said, Archer already has the benefit of never having to stop moving to do damage which is why their standing DPS is lower than all other classes. Then you added 5 skills that do damage or increase their damage which makes them significantly more desirable than any of the other classes.

Ranger isn't unique, it's just Archer with DPS skills instead of songs.

DoW:

*Musketeer (class)/Corsair (job).
*Ranger (use either Archer or Musketeer as the class)
*Bushido (class)/Samurai (job)

DoM:

*Mime (class)/Blue Mage (job)
*Fencer (class)/Red Mage (job)
*Geomancer (from Thaumaturge)
