Job Idea: Spellblade

[Freyyy]

You should work at SE. If you turn it into a tank I could even pay extra real life money to unlock the job.

I only post my job concepts on these forums. >w>()
As for the what situation I would imagine this being especially fun in, I personally enjoy playing supporters and/or debuffers, so I would think it would be fun in any situation. :-D
In terms of when I would imagine it would be most powerful, I would say against a single target, versus a group. It only has two AoE abilities. >w>()

I would love Sharlayan for the next expansion. All the gear we get from Sharlayan-location is so whimsical and elegant. ;w;

What's the point? People will just complain it doesn't do enough DPS.

Different ways to play the game? >w>()
Or at least, another aesthetic. XD

You could try my Red Mage tank. It kind of similar and I reused some of the stuff from there here but I will admit, it's not as good as this one... >w>

Still working on a few ideas of my own, but I just wish I knew for certain if classes were going basically extinct or not, and how many jobs future expansions will include so I can make sure not to block off future possibilities. Right now I'm working on the Dervish (think Dancer-like dodging/theatrics concept but with less support, more destruction/confusion-orientated cool shit [particularly through wind magic], and using a scimitar, typically dressed in desert garb, every good evasion temp-tank) or Adept (similar niche, so I'll use just the one I prefer of the two; this one's martial artist and melee caster, staff-user, a bit of a spiritualist), Templar (think Sword Saint/Rune Fencer, highly technical possibly upgrading to Mage Knight or Mage Hunter), and Ronin (moves build uniquely upon others and via the resources they provide such that you could effectively have a 11-move "combo" [not even a 11-move "rotation" but an actual 11-move "combo"], likely upgrading to Samurai as a tankier variant). No idea when I'll actually have the abilities for them done, let alone appropriately mathed out, though. v.v

Looking to have a 2-3 jobs that fit directly with each expansions main idea and possibly another (especially if only 2 initially) appearing around the time I'd hope the expansion starts taking a turn for the better/worse/lighter/ominous (around say .3 or .4), into the sort of plot stream that runs parallel to and through each expansion. Looking at Sharlayan, Ala Mhigo, and then Doma/beyond Eorzea as tentative expansion ideas for now.
