Alternative Job Ideas

[HakuroDK]

Let's see here...

(PLD)Mystic Knight-stat: INT & Skill Speed-Melee DPS that adds support buffs to the party for keeping up it's DPS chains.

That sounds very Mystic Knight. Only issue is its primary stat being INT. I think there should be a dual-spec of STR and INT rather than a focus on one or the other.

(WAR)Berserker-stat: STR & Crit-DPS that increases damage as party members takes damage(within reason).

As a WAR already, I would absolutely LOVE to play Berserker. The way you described it sounds very apt, almost turning it into a reverse-tank.

(BLM)Necromancer-stat: PIE-Heals by draining enemies HP and dispersing it to party members and can revive fallen party members as zombies on a timer.

I'm not keen on Necromancer being tied to BLM. Necromancer, historically, is basically a variant of BLU that gets spells from killing enemies.

(WHM)Geomancer-stat: INT-DPS Caster whose skill damage is based on the terrain and able to temporarily shift the elements to use other skills and add a damage buff for magic attacks.

This makes a lot of sense. If WHM were ever to have a DPS, it would definitely be GEO. +1

(DRK)Rune Fencer-stat: STR- Melee DPS with a rune combo system that triggers certain elemental attacks and can add elemental debuffs to enemies.

I never actually played FFXI far enough to ever see Rune Fencer (or any other job for that matter. Was too busy unsubbing while shaking my fist at Valkurm Dunes), so I'll defer to someone else's expertise.

(DRG)Templar-stat: DEX-Tank that uses auras to protect party members and do reflective and counter damage to enemies to keep aggro.

This is something you may actually find unorthodox, but I actually believe that Templar should have a primary focus on PIE, with the auras being toggle buffs much like a Bard's.

(BRD)Ranger-stat-DEX-Long Range DPS specializing in high single target damage and can also use traps to debuff the enemies.

So much this. We need a Ranger job ASAP to prompt a mass overhaul of Bard to transform it into the Support job it deserves to be.

(RNG)*Bard-stat-MND-Long range heals and support with songs that restore health, TP and MP.

As I mentioned before, this is what Bard is supposed to be.

Gunner*-stat-STR-Mid range HIGH DPS that specializes in AoE attacks

Specializing in AoE attacks? That would have to make the attacks extremely weak just to not be extremely broken. If I had to make a suggestion, Gunner could be a class that focuses directly on Skill Speed and Dexterity to optimize firing speed. Gunners can't really put more power behind their shots like other combat classes, so focusing on speed above all else is ideal. Kinda like Monk, except with more boom!

Cannoneer*-stat-INT-Tank that lowers enemies resistance to magic using various elemental shells

I don't see Cannoneer as a tank. A long-ranged debuffer, absolutely. But not a tank.

(MNK)Grappler*-stat-Vit-Tank that hold aggro and does damage through tethering skills tethering mobs can debuff the mob tethering party members can buff the party.

Not sure where Grappler comes from. Originally, I was figuring Black Belt as a Monk spin-off, being a bare-handed tank that intimidated foes like Bruce Lee and used the power of Chakra to heal and defend oneself.

RDM-stat-PIE-Close-mid rage melee caster that can spot heal and add elemental buffs to melee jobs weapons.

Red Mages are... a wild card. It would have to be implemented very carefully for it to either not be broken or not be worthless.

BLU-stat-INT-Close-mid range melee caster that can temporarily draw skills from mobs and use them against them to attack or buff party members (set skills drawn)

Blue Mages are even more of a wild card than Red Mages. But we'll see.
