Astrologian Speculations! How will it fit in?

Just a random thought but what if their second stance was like something similar to Disc Priests' atonement? For those that don't know, it causes damage dealt to enemies to also smart heal the lowest health target in range for a % of damage dealt.

~insert very useful information here~

Frigging awesome - but I hope there is a requirement for starting at those levels. I still think new players to the game need to start at level 1 on something at least and learn the game before they are allowed to start just diving into the higher level stuff. But if they allow those of us that already leveled characters up to unlock those jobs at the higher levels, then sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

So like a Chloromancer, but Single target version. Very very interesting indeed I'd enjoy that, too.

The Massively interview I posted in my previous post indicates the following:

While Yoshida would not reveal the main stats of the new jobs, he did say that you will not be able to start playing one at level 1. As with other jobs, you have to reach level 30 first and do job quests to unlock them.

If I were to take a guess, I would think you would need a class/job of the respective level to unlock, so:

CNJ 30 for AST unlock
GLD or MRD 30 for DRK unlock
A DPS @ 30 for MCH unlock

That way a random DPS can't just got and unlock a tank class and not know what their role is.

Also, take everything with a bit of grain of salt. A Polygon interview stated the exact opposite of the Reddit and Massively interview indicating that the Jobs WILL start at level 1. While Polygon has a stigma of being unreliable information, it might be best to wait to see exactly what S-E will say at like, one of their press conferences or something. Yoshi-P's words have already changed a few times. A previous interview from last year indicated that the new Job would be playable from Day 1 for any new player, and this doesn't seem like the case anymore.

I guess, in the end, time will tell. Speculation is always fun though, lol.

“We were actually recently deciding what to call these jobs that don’t have a base class, and we’ve decided to call them ‘Extra Jobs.’ Just like when you can switch to different jobs when you’re at level 30, that applies to these as well. As long as any class or job is at level 30, you’ll be able to access any of these three new jobs.”

I am personally hoping they renag on that. I don't want to see the kind of (unintentional) chaos a new player / MMO'r can do if they leveled Archer to 30 then unlocked Dark Knight and jumped straight into Haukke or Brayflox .-.

I agree. Players need to learn their jobs at the lower levels. It is easy for, say, a healer like myself to learn another healer role very quickly and still be good enough to be a benefit to the team. The skills may change, but the job stays the same - analyze your skills and do whatever it takes to keep the party alive. I can also DPS, so I could pick up the DPS role and do just fine . . . wait . . . that's not a good example. Anyone can DPS. Okay, so the DPS role can be picked up by any class, so omit DPS from any restrictions.

However, I do not know how to tank. I started learning a couple of weeks ago but I am in no condition to be doing level 30+ dungeons as a tank unless I am with my FC, who is being kind enough to teach me. Therefore I would want to be expected to level another tank class from the ground up before coming into this role.

SE - whatever you do - if you start tank or healer classes at level 30, PLEASE make players level a related to tanking or healing before letting them into 30+ dungeons right off the bat.

I was actually thinking more holy priest then disc. I recently stopped playing WoW (holy priest is my main) so my first thought to the stances was holy priest. This would be exciting since I'm very disappointed with Blizz's priest right now. Would be nice to have SE do it right, I feel like they did SCH way better then Blizz's disc priest as well.
