The Future of THM

[syntaxlies]

I think Bard is nice option for a job as an archer. Archers already do DPS and do it very well. What else could SE do? Give archer, I dunno, Sniper and make them a DPS class... even more? Archer is one of the few classes that has no other role than DPS. I would find it to be a wise idea to give archer jobs that add to what the class can do and more roles to fill. Bard gives the archer the option of buffing and debuffs in a group. Jobs giving a class more options and higher desirability for a group sounds in-line with SE job mentality.

This is the same reason I think THM would be good for White Mages. Jobs are intended to add to the class and add to the roles it can do. SE has made it very clear that a job is not an advanced version of the current class. The THM job shouldn't be a class that enhances it ability to debuff and nuke, THM already does that. The job should give it a new role.

Once again, just my line of thinking.

were do you get the info that jobs are not supposed to add to the class they can do, what do you think paladin does for glad. I think the quote your thinking of is,Among these are the shiny new job system (a proper system, mind you, not just renamed classes) which does not suggest what you are saying at all.


oh, and for what else they can give archer, how about a new set of dot and elemental buffs for their arrows. they should take the class and make it even better suited for party play then archer is now even if it means tweaking archers current abilities.

can you please rename this to the future of archer class thread
