RDM in action... Can't wait!

The best possible guess regarding jobs is this:

1. We already know about RDM, and that it is a caster DPS. So we know there will be no other dps role.

2. During the marketing and media appearances for heavensward, Yoshi talked, somewhat jokingly, about how the Dev team said they would kill him if he made them do 3 jobs in one release again. He talked about having to write all the quests for each, develop abilities for each, gear for each of them, plus adding 10 new levels on for all the other jobs as well and he elaborated on how taxing it was for the dev team to do 3 new jobs at the same time, and hinted that they likely wouldnt do that again. Because of this, I personally do not expect to see a 3rd job this time around.

3. While I personally felt the cinematic trailer hinted at dancer, because of the movements and the attire of the girl in red, I think common sense dictates that the most logical addition would be a tank, not a healer. Tanks are always the shortage in queues, everyone knows this. Imagine the bottleneck in the duty finder if they release a new dps and new healer with no new tank. I think this plays a big part in the decision making on new jobs. SE take these kinds of things into big consideration when designing things. I think the only way we see a new healer is if they manage to do 3 jobs again. I dont think there is any way SE goes with dps and healer for new jobs and leaves out tank. The spiderman shirt also I think hints at Samurai more than anything else.

4. We know they already worked on Samurai, and it was on the table for heavensward they said, but they went with DRK instead. They already have assets on SAM, so I think it makes sense.


Given these 4 points, I feel pretty confident we will see just 2 new jobs, and that the 2 jobs will be RDM, caster DPS and Samurai, Tank. I would love to learnthat the dev team pulled off 3 new jobs again though, and if there is a 3rd, I think its definitely Dancer, Healer.
