What about Mystic Knight?

[Neophyte]

The thing is, if they add 2 DPS what about Duty queue ?
Everyone will want to try those new ones, at least when they are out and when it was not really a probleme with HW cause one of each, we'll end up with huge queue times oO

Well, deal with it?

First 1-2 weeks in HW adventurer in need was dps, because edgeknight is edgy.

as a dedicated DPS, I have no problem with it.

Anyway, I dont think we need new tanks, or new healers.

Yeah, forget those guys. Boring roles anyways right?

I got so sick of hearing this, we don't need more of anything! The game would be in a fine state since the original ARR jobs, adding more jobs is to keep variety rolling which there is plenty of for DPS and to keep people hooked to their existing roles.

I've heard melee's want a new DPS and I also think they 100% deserve a new job, but most would just stay on their current melee if one didn't get added. Meanwhile tank players are very willing to jump boat if a new cool melee DPS comes out, cough cough SAM cough cough. I for sure will be off specing SAM if it does come out as melee DPS and doing DF stuff with it, while raiding as Tank still. I can wait in queue as well, got plenty to do.

Yes because nothing is more exciting in a new expansion than being forced into last expansion's content in order to level from 60-70. Doesn't solve how they will be halted from progressing the Main Story because it'll be locked behind dungeons every few.

Exactly. I think when a new expansion comes out... people don't want to go back to old content for a while, this would make a terrible launch on a shinny new expansion filled with new content.

Dark Knight fills pretty much the exact role that Mystic Knight has had in previous FF Games... I don't know why they decided to make Dark Knight do that, but it would make the classic Mystic Knight class redundant.

Though I do suppose they could add a DPS version of the class...

I play as Tank and Healer and I tottally disagree when people say we don't "need" another Tank or Healer. You're being selfish, because we tanks and healers would love something different, even more a Tank that doesn't use a "tank weapon" like Sword, Axe, Katana... And I would definatelu stick to Healer Role if they put DNC, which I've been wanting since tge beginning (DNC was my fav job in FFT). I liked that RDM os coming but I'm not a DPS guy, and I know I'm not alone in this.

All I been seeing in the forums as our potential new jobs are RDM, SAM, DNC, and BLU but what about mystic knight? Many have speculated that if RDM was introduced MYS would be mixed into the job but now that we have seen a preview of RDM it looks like MYS toolkit will not be a part of the job so perhaps our next tank is MYS they do tend to be Tanky. And we have seen enspell used by ala mhigans.

Mystic Knight could easily be made into its own thing. Assuming I had any say in the matter, I'd probably go for use of magic shields (like the shields used by Mystic Knights in Dragon's Dogma). Probably some form of defensive buffs to keep up plus the standard slew of enmity combos. I did a write up for it a while back but it was ignored so I assumed no one liked it. >.>

I am sorry if this was said already but I wanna get this out asap. Mystic Knight is coming in the form of RDM. The devs said so during the reveal. Sometimes to make RDM be more unique or give it better end game potential, they give them the traditional Mystic Knight ability. And in games without jobs, characters that are RDMish have had similar skills.

I agree with you. I main as a healer. Tanks and healers would appreciate a little more variety. DPS already have a large section to choose from. Why should DPS get two new jobs? I would a love a healing class that doesn't use shields or regene lol. They need to show the healers and tanks some love.

Selfish answer, as most "pure" DPSs.
