What Roles would you like for Samurai and Red Mage?

[Mykll]

My Red Mage would love these rolls, pinky out with a cup of tea.



My Samurai would eat any kind of roll in front of him.

SAM for support. (since DRK was made tank without any good reason for it... but meh) Spirit Sword skills that buff the SAM and everyone arround him with nice TP-MP regens, damage and status conditions buffs, etc. Mechanics would be similar to "shout" or "banner" support classes. A good example would be GW2 warrior.

RDM for melee DPS with intelligence as main stat and "endow" skills that give magic/buffs to his sword. A good example could be old Cabal Force Blader class.

...Are either of these two jobs confirmed?

No, though they seem to be the two most popular picks for "the next Job" in the comunity, along with the even harder to pin down Blue Mage.

I vote for Red Mage, then. I think we need another mage. We need a whole rainbow of mages.

White Mage... Black Mage... Red Mage... Blue Mage... Green Mage... Time Mage...

See? Rainbow.

Blue Mages... melee/dps-support... new job, starts at level 30..... hails from the continent of Meracydia, home of the Miqo'te... uses skills and abilities derived from the 26 totem animals (some support others dps, more powerful animals power the big skills like lv-50) of the Seekers of the Sun.

Red Mages... magic/dps-support... new job, starts at level 30..... hails from the continent of Meracydia, home of the Miqo'te... uses skills and spell derived from tribal blood magic (dps/en-spells/other skills) of the Keepers of the Moon.


There you go SE.... you're welcome.

Pretty sure Redmage was never ment to tank, even if they were able in XI. However I kinda see them having combos like other DPS but with branching paths. Say first strike starts the combos then either A)Fire path > single fire attack or B) Ice path > aoe ice attack. Least how I kinda envision it, perhaps with how every DPS has at least one ranged strike give RDM "spark" a quick lightning strike on the target.

Samurai, I have no info on from 11 so all I can say is it does seem more like a tank, I won't argue with DPS. I just want one sword class that is DPS, they don't always have to tank

[Belhi]

While I voted for both being dps, it seems very unlikely that if they are adding 2-3 jobs next expac that 2 of them will be dps. Its far more likely that only one would be dps and the other/s being tank and/or healer.

If I had to pick one, it would be Samurai as tank and Red Mage as dps.

[Natashio]

Until Avesta officially announces what he wants as Red Mage, there won't be a Red Mage. As for Samurai, duh, Damage Dealer...

[_Pigzig]

Dual role classes?
Samurai - Tank/DPS
Red Mage - DPS/Healer

Doubt it would work though.
