New Job, For like way way later..

[Julirites]

This is a cool idea. I think the create doll and deterioration/burst damage mechanics would be a good way to set the job apart from the others and stay true to the idea of voodoo magic. It kind of reminds me of Relm's Paint ability from FF6 (In terms of creating copies of the enemy). I do agree though that SE will likely stick to the established pedigree of jobs for the foreseeable future.

thanks! I agree it is much more likely they will stick to the tried and true. like I mentioned in the post I think to my recollection lulu from ff10 is the closest thing existing in the ff universe. I've been sitting on this voodoo class idea for some time now while playing different mmorpg games. I've only just decided to preach it.

Actually, that sounds kinda cool. I can see it maybe being a class where the doll you create becomes a pet slot like ACN or MCH; the pet bar would have either the moves the doll could inflict on itself, or the dots and debuffs you can place on it. The doll's health could go down as you deal the damage, and maybe you could do a final burst attack once it dies. Then you'd move in to resummon/reattune the new doll, and start over.

the idea of having it become a pet is one I'm not opposed to as long as it doesn't step on summoner toes. perhaps a less control able pet (since he's temperary), he can melee, you direct attacks at him his health moves but you don't control him and he doesn't have any real abilities of his own, he's more a tool. also don't like the idea of him being targetable by enemy's unless there is a fun mechanic that would transfer the dmg to the target the doll was made from.

I appreciate the input!

Nice idea, and a great change from the recycled ideas of red mage this, blue mage that XD

Original ideas are better.

As we all know if they do implement red mage and/or blue mage the first posts we will see is complaining that they didn't implement themas they were in FFXI and/or how they personally envisioned they should be implemented ^_^

Sounds like how they would implement the Puppetmaster

great information thank you! I will add this comparison to the main post. puppet master helps me draw a more stable line to this class then my lulu point alone

appreciated!

There's absolutely no way this job could get super racist.

Please do share cus I have zero idea how.

[bounddreamer]

Google "racism and voodoo." Try not to get too defensive. Be enlightened.

I also think that the Voodoo based job would be a good addition to the game. Sounds like a lot of fun!
