Remaining Niches to Fill?

[Redgate]

The Red Mage

[myahele]

Melee healer. Gotta be close to them to hit them with your cure

[FallenWings]

Who is this "reactive" tank you speak of? I've never heard of such heresy! I'm pretty sure that we all don't really know how NIN will really play so probably not a good idea to pin a niche on it now. For all we know it could just be another MNK but with daggers!

[Reokudo]

Dark Knight or riot!(Dps only plox)

[Jaykos]

Honestly we have everything already once Ninja is added.

LEL

wow has 34 playable classes
swtor has 24 classes
rift has 32 classes

ff14 has 9 soon to be 10

set the bar low much?

[ShiloEET]

A keyblade character!

Kinda feeling like assuming the number of available jobs we'll have being tied to deities in-game is suuuuuuuper arbitrary and we'll be getting a lot more as the game goes on and gradually evolves. I still have hope.

I think you are exaggerating and inflating the numbers by counting the skill trees as separate classes.
And to stay on topic, I think Beastmaster could serve a different niche by making them what SMN should have been, more emphasis on the pets rather than the character.

If they don't intend to consistently add more classes and Jobs it will be the slow death of the game for me personally.

World of Warcraft has 10 classes.
Star Wars: The Old Republic has 8 classes.
Rift has 4 classes.
Aion Online has 9 classes.

I personally believe that we only should get up to 15 and that's being a little generous because those will be the niche jobs we back track onto to put into the game (Thief, Hunter).
