You'd need to give something as powerful to WAR and DRK then as well. SE doesn't want another "x job GTFO" situation like it was with WAR back in 2.0 and DRG in FCoB before 2.45. We don't even have a paladin in the game, considering PLD is Knight in Japanese.

Paladins in the western version of FFs most of the time are called just Knight in the JP version.

Lol seriously? WAR is fine as it is, we certainly don't need to get our possible combos reduced. PLD is just ridiculous.

A "Charge" for my WAR, please ç_ç

All I want is my Simiam Trash for mnk back Miss that 9 hit combo and flashy

I"ll have some fun with this.

PLD:

Holy Oath= MND attribute raises to current VIT attribute, halves max MP

Reprisal=increase block rate and chance to reflects back dmg, mp cost, 2 min recast, 15 second duration (dif between vengeance is dmg dealt back is not guaranteed)
--
WAR:
Rampage I'd say make it work in the same manner as Berserk, shared timers similar to trick/sneak attack having it be a defensive concept rather than an offensive one that leaves the user unable to act for 5 seconds.

Skull Breaker (Heavy Swing+Skull Breaker) dmg based on effects on target which include "Fracture" "Storm Path" "Storm Eye" increases potency by 125 for each one active 375 potency attack? -no enmity potency from it- 100 TP use

--

BLM

Burst: can only be used when thunder effect ticks, causes an AOE effect which deals 200 dmg and 30 DoT for 21 seconds. recast=3 mins

Comet: unaspected dmg must be used with at least half MP left, effect is based on which form is used but must have 3 charges of said element recast=2 mins -charges are lost upon use of spell-
Fire=300 AOE
Ice=500 single target dmg

--

Maybe this for NIN

NIN:
Seal=ability to ante up ninjutsu in an attempt to execute a more potency version -recast 2 mins-
-Basically you do the mudras, use the seal to lock it in, wait the 20 min timer and then you do it again but "ninjutsu" this time and the potency of the action increases as followed-
Raiton=800 potency
Katon=400 potency
Hyton=unbreakable bind
Doton=70 DoT for 24 seconds
Suiton=Doubles dmg of sneak attack/trick attack
Huton=increase effect from 70 second duration to 120 seconds

Bukijutsu? ability to use mudras to offer additional effects to actions but it overwrites the effect of Kiss of Viper/wasp

--
But ya NIN is rather hard to think for, it will be interesting to see where they would go with that job but I"ll throw the two tanks and BLM out there since I do feel like it would enhance their game play aspects a bit.

With PLD the idea is to make their curative abilities more viable but with a price and the block rate reprisal is just something taken from XI and even though WAR alrdy has something similar, PLD's main concept does seem to be based around time based dmg mitigation through their rather wide variety of dmg mitigation skills.

I actually really like this idea. Non-magic classes are in desperate need of more utility and the ability to actually become a backup healer when cross-classing cure (and there is nothing to tank) is fantastic utility.

Dragoon jump into the sky ( offscreen ) and place marker like you do with flame arrow for where he smashes down from above.
