As much as I would love to have Thief in the game I do think there is a lack of casters. I read that enfeebles were being taken from the current mage classes so in that circumstance a potent enfeeble class like RDM would be nice but also boasting buffs such as haste etc.

I also think a class that works with enmity would be a nice boost and this is generally thief. I think a mage that could effect the flow of battle with enmity buffs and further enchantments would be nice but it also doesn't seem like enough to be a full class.

Mage classes is a tough one really I think and a lot of them fall into a category of having a few nice specific spells but then having to resort to cure assist a lot. Perhaps Blue Mage could be considered it was always one of the most popular in the series I think.

I wonder if dual wield will be implemented into XIV and if so will it just be a trait specific to one job. I really enjoy playing dual wield daggers and a clase I always enjoyed in FFXI was Dancer. With the way TP works in XIV a healer class that works with TP and also enfeebles the mob would work perfectly I think.

I'm sure whatever new class is released will be great but I agree with a lot of other people that they should be implemented in groups rather than one at a time. Otherwise the majority of the servers will be seeking a party on the same class/job!
