I have some Race and Class/Job Ideas :D

Ever since the halloween event, it got me thinking. Wouldn't it be super cool to have a class based on transmutation or illusion? Considering the lack of healer type classes I thought it'd be cool to have an illusionist/transforming caster type that could cast buffing spells with their illusions. For example transforming an ally into an armored bear could increase their defense or even casting a strange spell that causes everyone in the team to glow could grant regen. It's just an idea to throw out their really. Just thought it'd be really cool :P Perhaps it could be a bit like a healer/dps like the other healer classes :P

I love the thought of being able to turn into something else! I really enjoyed being a bat on the halloween event xD Because I love vampires P: What if turning into that creature gave you a special attack or special buff? Or as I've basically hinted at above perhaps it can just be an illusion to intimidate or confuse the enemy xD

This could branch off into several different classes that could focus on a theme/focus of creature/illusions. For example if you wanted to LOOK like a vampire you could have life draining abilities that deal damage to an enemy and heal nearby allies for a percentage. You could even have a super cool vampire illusion :') That could be the more healer type orientated job class. Or if you wanted to branch off into the more dps type there could be different types of animals that could focus tanking (like a tiger or bear or something), dps (a wolf or dragon 0.0!) As for the duration of the visible transformation/illusion in this job class, unlike the class it branches off from which would undoubtadely be duration - because it's more potent magic perhaps the transformation could be toggle-able. In animal looking form you could have boosts to certain stats but in humanoid looking form you could have boosts to others.

I also thought if that was just mentally crazy maybe it'd be cool to have a new race similar to Miq'ote - as it is a very popular race. xD who doesn't love cats O.o! but a wolf themed race instead? maybe with cute little fangs :P I don't know XD it was just a brainstorm that I thought - damn I wish this was real haha XD But hopefully square enix finds my brainstorm useful :P because i'd love to play a class like this and considering how many dps classes there are i think it offers more diversity of choice within the class? not sure if thats the right word XD

Other things I could think of were for a tank class maybe how about something like 'Shield Maiden/Shield Lord' xD i dont know. probably stupid names but if they used special defensive shields and attacked with them to - kind of similar to the gladiator but purely with a shield xD or if they could dash to their ally in a cool shield-charge move xD encouraging the form of teamwork and defense o.o and maybe they could passively have a percentage for enmity? i dont know! like i say i'm just brainstorming :P

Or a shadow type class! that could be similar to black mage however raise dead enemies or just the dead in general. They could be re-animiated for a short duration to fight and last as long as an attack would. or maybe they could be like a pet and they could summon one undead creature and have cool dark spells xD maybe they could work on lifedrain ?O.o anyway i hope my brainstorms help ideas for new classes/races/jobs ! thanks for hearing me out everyone

Part 1: There not a lack of healer it the fact that healing is one of th hardest jobs in XIV and If we have different type of healing jobs It would have to be a Hybrid Healer, Like the Ninja of healer, They Heal great but its simple like SCH but Buffs other healer as well.

Part 2:I like your thinking but a Specialist sounds odd, like they have music buff heals for tanks, melee, and range. could be either be like or end up being the Solo heal, Cure III, and Media.

Part 3: I love cats, but Cat people, I'll pass, Togal (The Last Remnant) is what I want and Dual Power-Grip is what I want
