Thread: 4.0 Where will we go? what class (or classes) will be added

To start, they could implement the actual concept of using attachments to MCH, or at the very least, not give them both WM/GB (both functionally the same abilties, and GB loses the "attachment" novelty when you're just gonna give to to BRD). They're different jobs so they should feel different in both gameplay and dynamics, like you would see between the three melees or the casters. It's also kind of silly that you don't have any ranged dps that is "physical" in the standard mmo sense (having auto attacks and not being subjected to the exact same mechanical limitations as a spell caster)

I bet you at least three of the following will be added
tank
dps
healer

we'll probably go to vanadiel and steal the rest of the models and fail to even retexture them

I would like to see bards get their mobility back and let machinist be the stand still power out dps and chose the right attachment for the job

The regen is fine. They can homogenize their role, utility and performance considering they are competing for the same party composition slot, but they should not be homogenize their gameplay. There's very little turret interaction that it almost becomes a posion/FoF applicaiton that you need to refresh occasionally.

Bard already does that. Unless you think that a ballad once or twice a fight (and only in the hardest raids, even) counts as "focusing on support".

People just hate the fact that it has 2 songs reducing their damage. And that it's named bard (for some because it shouldn't focus on dps as it's a bard, for the others because they'd prefer it named ranger. Bah)
