What jobs are we hoping to see in the next expansion?

[pyro2536]

Personally I'm actually wanting a reaper like class I mean for optional items you can buy a scythe and it looks really awesome unfortunately me maining ninja I can't use it plus I'm not gonna fork over 3 dollars for something that won't help in combat

[MrPresident]

Jobs plural? We got 3 with Heavensward and 2 with Stormblood. I assume we will get 1, and maybe an extra mog station job after a year.

[RitsukoSonoda]

Gambler - Ranged physical dps with chance game buffs that deals slashing damage with throwing cards
Ravager - Physical STR based DPS that uses heavier armor like a drg and uses a scythe
Cannoneer - Ranged Magical damage dps that causes explosions with a magitek cannon
Dancer - Melee healer using twin fans intended to heal while being in the front line.
Blackbelt - Melee DEX based DPS that deals rapid strikes with either nunchucks or tonfa for blunt damage
Templar - Tank using shield + 1 handed pike for piercing damage. Focuses more on debuffing foes while buffing allies on the front line
Mystic Knight - Melee magic damage DPS, wields a sword with a blade made of magical energy, would actually deal magic damage on skill use and on auto attacks

Well my 2 gil anyway.

spell blade or mystic knight and yet another vote for beast master
though a pet based beast master might not actually be possible since we don't really have and actual pet framework for them to build it with now building beast master a a ranged dps that attacks by sending a beast to attack could work

BST is my first choice, but not whip... that's too lion tamer, I'd like to see something more "fantasy" based. Maybe even Pokemon style where you have access to numerous beasts, I'd also like to see a lot of beast swapping to chain attacks. Almost like MNK forms.

[Cerbolt]

I'd like some kinda melee with magic damage since all melees are currently physical. Blue mage maybe? Spell blade? Idk but I'd definitely play one lol

[Okamimaru]

Hunter- ranged dps executing combos with boomerang and whip.... ogcd attacks with falcon and wolf companions

Shaman- green magic healer various flower and plant effect heals and shields.. buff and debuffs... wand wielder

Geomancer- tank using a large hammer to alter the terrain to his advantage... unheaves walls of earth root and stone to shield.. causes eruptions of magma and landslides

[RainDurell]

Blue Mage, Gunblade, Dancer.

Its been a while since I posted this!

I post in most of these threads I come across. but I love doing it. I will continue to advocate for a Job that is unique to the FFXIV universe. I'll put a few screenshots in "Hide" mode so as not to take up too much room. Here goes!

1. Aether Knight

2. DPS/Tank

3 & 4. Created after the end of the 7th Umbral Era using the imbued powers of the Aetherite crystals that have sprung up all across the land. It is a new and uncharted Job that share their discoveries with one another, growing and learning through trial and error. This job will imbue their armor and weapons with Aetherite Crystals to create powerful auras of magic to smite their foes.

There can be two disciplines one of Blue Aetherite and one of the Orange Aetherite, Blue is offensive, while Orange is defensive. Abilities will be dual purpose depending on which color you choose. You can switch between them via activating/deactivating the Job stone (cannot be done in an instance or during combat, except PvP) and will change the color of your armor to signify which aspect you are.

Weapons will be Jeweled swords, each different type will have a different added effect (Emerald sword, hp drain. Ruby sword, fire damage. etc. Have names like Emerald bastard/long/short/dreadwyrm sword. Jewel describes added effect and the second part will describe the style of sword). See hidden pics for a visual of what I am picturing.

Swords


Armor

5. Crystal Rage; Does extra elemental damage based on the style of sword you use for a potency of 130 and places an elemental debuff on enemy based on style of jewel (Ruby does fire DOT. Emerald does Life sap DOT) for a duration of 15s. Combos with Crystal Purity.

Crystal Purity; Does damage with potency of 140 when used after Crystal Rage it also increases the duration of debuff by 15s. Combos with Crystal Crush.

Crystal Crush; Does damage with a potency of 220. When used after Crystal Purity it will do extra elemental damage based off weapons jewel.

Crystalisis; Off GCD ability, expends active crystal buff doing the remaining DOT damage all at once

(I suck at the numbers on this so they can obviously be altered to create better balance, this just a "rough" idea)

6. Crystal Sword or Crystal Hammer

7. 5.0 or beyond, they most likely already have 4.0 planned out and are working on it so it would need to be way later. Although 4.0 would be cool.

I would love another Shield user Tank... i dont know... dual Shield?, maze + shield?, staff + shield?... dual shield?! i just love that idea xD
