My idea for Dancer!

[Kotemon]

Wasn't Dancer in XI somewhat Agi and Chr based? Other than a couple early FF titles Mog from FF6 was a dancer. If Dancer was in XIV it'd probably be the last job ties to a class like Rouge (Dex) so it can use daggers, and be like bard with its dances (Mp based). If the developers are moving away from tying jobs directly to class. In all likely hood I kind of doubt every job in the franchise will see the light of day, or at least in some form or another. Heck that gunner job in 3.0 sounds like mix of mechanic and gunner from tactics with a little bit of Xi pup tossed into the mix. But given a bunch of FF 6 references, I'd sort of like to see the only dancer job being either an adventuring Moogle or a Qiqirn (since they look like the rat folk from FF9). Lord knows what would happen if all the Mamol Ja got into dancing. On a side note wasn't there another quest where we had to dance for some well known dancer to get an emote?

I would cry so, so many tears of joy if I could be a dancer. andabluemagecough

I usually have a blast playing them, even outside of the FF franchise.

I would love for a melee healer like dancer to be added, but there are a lot of mechanics that target healers which wouldn't allow the job to work

My Dancer in XI main healed A LOT of things. At max level that thing was OP, could solo just about anything, albeit took a bit longer but it was like RDM in that light where it didn't really need help but when it did help omg...

Not gonna lie, I would be madly deeply in love with a healer/support Dancer class. Dancer's have always been one of my favourite classes in games, so I'd love to see FFXIV do something with it.

i can imagine a system of dance based on the combo systeme of the monk/pugilist, each skill is a step and give bonus depending of which combo you do.

by the way, i doubt the FF11 dancer will work in FF14, why? the pace of the fight, here even if it's slower than other mmorpg, it's still far faster than FF11, you need to have more fast paced action.

[Oce]

you need to have more fast paced action.

A fast-paced support class with healing capabilities would be a perfect addition, I think, especially for people who consider this game "slow-paced". You could preform "steps", which may even do DPS? to build stacks (the trance idea) and use those stacks to cast big spells, such as an AOE (which you would have to keep your stacks up for) buff/debuff, or something similar to "lustrates". They would be a great support healer, but obviously I'm not the person anyone should be asking for ideas on how haha.

If SE wasn't feeling particularly adventurous- which they never seem to be for the sake of 'not confusing players'- I could see them retooling the mudra system into something for Dancers, you have a bunch of dance steps you combo together and then finish with a flourish to apply some effect.

But I agree, I'd like to see a front-line healer. Anything to break up the monotony of typical archetypes.
