What could be the next DPS?

[Alistaire]

Geomancer Please! WHM seems like its going towards more holy magic.

Edit: Chemist would be nice from the Garleans. They must have some kind of healing for non magic people.

Geomancer's been mentioned in whm quests.

We aren't likely to get Geo as it has been the focus of the Astro questline for SB. If you haven't done it, SPOILER!!!

Geo is the Far Easts version of an Astro that uses the elements to do fortune telling and healing instead of the Stars like it is for Astro.

Hell in the quest you reinforce a barrier and you and the NPC both cast Noct sect bene and their version of Noct spells.

So no Geomancer far as this games lore goes unless they think people are fine with a carbon copy of Astro the casts reskin astro spells?

If Geo's been mentioned in both WHM and AST quests...we're probably going to get it as the next healer. Same way in xi blue mage kept getting name dropped in Chains of Promathia, then we got it the next expansion.

Interesting and odd. The devs did say a job they wanted to do Mystic, basically an eastern themed healer (called Oracle in Final Fantasy Tactics.) In Final Fantasy V Japanese version it's called a Prophet, something that seems to align perfectly with that. It just didn't make the cut.

I wonder if the reference is just leftover from early plans, and if so, if Geomancer is just a translation mistake.

Either way, having an NPC with a job in game use a X or Y skill is not that meaningful. Alisaie Leveilleur was a Red Mage, yet we saw use skills no red mage has for quite a while. Hell, in the Stormblood SCH quest we still see the Marauder/Warrior lala sidekick still use Bloodbath, even if it's a DPS role skill.

I want something like the reaper in Tera, how it is a legit mix of medium ranged attacks and melee. not just hopping in for a quick combo and back to ranged.

Also why do the rogues/ninjas not stealth and crouch? I always thought that made sense and was awesome in WoW.

FF is hands down better than WoW in every aspect though so meh if it never happens oh well lol.


Seriously though, having a reaper heres a super short video of one(note that reapers skills are dark purple and they are on a dark flooring so pay attention lol)

I wouldnt even care if the dps sucked, Id play the sheeeet out of that class if it was here!!! they look so amazing with their sythes, and being able to throw their weapon then drag themselves to the weapon at high speeds makes for hella fun play.

beast master melee dps with bull whip

Whip and Scythe jobs!

I really don't want new dps jobs for a long time. We need at least 1 new tank and 1 new healer before that.

Though I agree, there could be a chance that theyd do like HW and give us another dps as well. Unless I missed something. having been stated

We could get a hunter/ranger/sniper class that shoots off the Archer class, Bard is more support oriented while the new class could be more damage oriented.
