Tell us your job/class ideas!

I was just thinking about 11 for some reason, and how i focused more on mages. I noticed that in 11 whm, blm, rdm, sch, all used the same types of magic. with a few exceptions like refresh the elemental GA for blm and the helix spells for sch. yes they each had a few unique spells to their name but nothing ground breaking magic wise.

the point of this thread is that i woudl like to see what the players think would be cool classes to play that are not commonly seen. ive heard geomancer before, but give us something new.

throw this one on for size. it might be cheesy, but tell me the last time u ever saw an MMO that used a Fencer class? how about a chained scythe? a class completely devoted to throwing bombs? a magic class that uses, i dunno...tarot cards? runic symbols?

TL;DR
SE has great minds, and the community has great imaginations. tell us your dream class. we probably wont see any of these in game but IDC

I would love to see the -TROLL KILLER- class. Its abbreviation would be T.K.O(don't know what i could have put for the O).

EQ2 had Fencer, iirc. I didn't play it that much.

I have to say though, tarot cards sound interesting! Hell, they could even tie in lore linking them to the modern guildleve cards. I want to say there's something like tarot in FF Type-0.
edit: meh, maybe it's more like playing cards :x

[Keruvinde]

I never played EQ2 my loss. and thats a thought, using the guildleve cards for attacks XD

another idea i thought would be cool to see is a mage whose attacks are governed by moon phases. a DD class that uses uses its feet. mnks had kick attacks in 11 but i always thought it was lacking. itd be a pretty acrobatic job.

I've always wanted to see a chemist like in FF Tactics. The use of items in these games has always been very limited, but a character who specialized in using potions to heal allies and poisons, and the like, to hurt enemies would be an interesting. The character could either use a special line of items or have a trait to increase the healing or damage of all ready existing ones.

chemist or engineer like in warhammer. something never seen b4 would be awesome.

other then that i know they said they won't be doing this but i would love to see them find a way to do sp/exp party grinds with jobs, full party 4 and 8man grinds with them even if in just dungeons. biggest part is full 8man grinds being brought back and worth doing. second for the chance to do it in a more ffxi'ish style. lets hope they reconsider this for future content later.

ENGINEER IS CREDIT TO TEAM!

[Rinoa]

I want Gunsmith(crafting) and Gunblade(battling).

[Keruvinde]

chemist sounds interesting could mix that in with my bomb throwing idea so its not just potions maybe? and yes i would like to see gunblades in this game too XD.

I havent seen whips in an MMO either, a class that uses chains to attack with different buffs for the chains? like spiked daggers comign out of the chains? maybe have the ability for THM to add poison affects to weapons to make it a stronger poison? the "chain master" class could keep a flying mob from leaving the ground at the cost of being unable to attack? (using all strength to hold down mosnter)

[Raubahn]

I want a job that can kick the mob...wanna see a lallafel do a kick XD
J/K
well in most cases if SE decided to make a Job they would first check their history of jobs in the franchise (example:Bard,Blue mage,Swordmage,Timemage,Summoner,Ninja and etc) and with the new dev. team my guess is that they will implement xi jobs to this game
but their has been one job that i would love to bring it to xiv and its beastmaster
