Fencing Class

[Gainsborough]

i was really bored and i thinking there not many sword class in FF14 so i like what hell why not post about one my fav sword style. The Rapier a fast swordplay style, many games i play that have Rapiers use moves ike draining HP to heal them and useing dark magic. looking at Soul Calibur Raphael and Legend of Dragoon Rose style worrk for FF14 using Black Magic with the Rapier will make deadly and being fast on the feet u be able to dodge easier. I also thought of Weiss Rapier with turn thing and use dust to enchant ur character as well

what do u think? would Fencing Class work or not i love hear ur Ideas and no bad talking plz and thnx u

A fast blade user (Dagger) that combines a sort of black magic (Ninjutsu) that can evade quickly(Shukuchi / Perfect dodge) is already in the game with Ninja.

You description is very vague and as I don't know both games you referenced there, maybe I imagine something else like you;
but devs already stated that they do not want to create jobs too similar to each other.

Well, sounds good and all, but you have to remember that we have 3 new jobs coming in 2 months, and they have said making a new job takes 1 year... They also said making NIN between expansion like that, wasn't fun, so I doubt we will see another job until 4.0... And I don't think they will add more than 1 DPS job, which leads us to prioritizing what roles the game needs...

We now have 3 melee jobs, which is enough based on how many we have in total. We got another ranged physical DPS with Machinist, and what should be the priority for future DPS job IMO, is a new ranged caster job.

At least not another melee job

Way into the future maybe, but that's like 5.0 or something.

I recommend you enjoy the new jobs coming in 3.0, or just keep playing the current jobs, who will get new abilities anyways

Introducing a rapier job is tricky, how do you define one job as rapier than another, and which one is the rapiest off all?

[Gainsborough]

true they made daggers and ninja class but i was thinking outside the box like Weiss from RWBY fghting style like that be cool.
I know in 2 month heavensward comes out i hoping later on in life they think about it.
Not really tricky all character in games and rooster teeth Weiss all fight silmer they fast and mostly dance around things to dodge.

just thinking way outside the box on this Class, throw dust at monster and then use dust to enchant ur speed attack use dust to freeze the monster the use dust to enchant the rapier to make it more powerful and finish it off. that what i was thinking more line like or throw dust then throw Rapier at the monster Drain Hp take sword dodge throw dust again enchant power and attack

i know my idea little copyright of Weiss but hey i love Rapiers it only idea

Weiss !!! uyiuykjhkjhn

I give you the Red Mage. They've essentially been presented as magic-typ melee jobs in past games, using rapiers and other swords that they can imbue with flames or whatnot. There's a real fencer job in the Tactics series but I'm pretty sure it'd be too close to what ninjas are now.

I would love for a new animation system that lets you personalize and stylize your attack animations. I would love to use a 1 handed sword as a paladin and no shield and just go around roleplaying as a fencer type swordsman. Keep the same skills as a paladin and even same spell effects just let us customize our character via animations.

Being able to feel a bit unique in this game instead of clone 500 sitting in the gold saucer of my job would do a lot to establish a unique feel in this mmo atmosphere without having to add 50 new jobs that meets everyone's style and can be done without worrying about balance issues. Identity is the only true gripe/issue I have with this game.

it be nice to have something that allowing us to have more animation or even personalize and stylize are attack animations. but who knows it may possible or not we can only dream.
