    Suggestions for Classes

    Hi there! I....don't know exactly where to put this, but I hope here is ok.

    Basically, I'm just offering a suggestion that the earlier classes should all be given a split choice for their final job. Similar to Arcanist.

    For that matter, Arcanists should also be allowed to choose to play as DPS or a Healer in the dungeons.

    Some more specific Ideas I have are as follows.

    Rogue into Ninja OR Pirate (A class focused more on thieving and DOTs).
    Marauder into Warrior OR Berserker (A class that bases more into raw damage, and does more damage the less health they have).
    Archer into Bard OR Ranger (Getting in touch with nature and maybe having a chance for getting an animal companion to fight with you).
    Conjurer into White Mage OR Shaman (Focused more on the Nature aspect, with spells that damage the enemy while strengthening the party).
    Thaumaturge into Black Night OR Necromancer (Allowing for spells that raise wraiths, skeletons, or perhaps a physical thrall).
    Lancer into Dragoon OR Knight (A tank based class with better defense, and the option for mounted combat).
    Pugilist into Monk OR Brawler (A heavier hitting tank based class).
    Gladiator into Paladin OR a Bladesman (A dual-wielding sword class that goes full DPS).

    Pirates are already classified as machinists (gunslingers) or warriors and marauders as is, not back stabbers.
    Berserker is kinda already in Warrior, just in reverse with that skill that does more damage the more health you have.

    Ranger just sounds like summoner with a bow.
    I feel like Dancer could've done what your shaman (green mage i think it is?) does as a healer >n>
    Necromancy is a forbidden magic like Ultima so that's essentially zero, even for the Warrior of Light/Dark, also, what's Black Night?
    Yeah...mounts don't exactly fit in here in terms of combat, at least not story based combat anyway. Look at the Main Story Quest raids if you've gotten that far.

    So....a Warrior without an axe?
    "Bladesman" is basically a rogue/ninja.

    There's a reason why Arcanist is the only job that can go either way, because both summoner and scholar are still pet reliant jobs stemming off arcanist being a pet reliant job as is.
    Besides, having such a system bodes problems down the road (like Scholar having a lot of highly unnecessary skills in their kit because of Arcanist's base spells, while Summoner has no need for Physick for example, but it's there because the base class can become a healer and that's the main heal of the job).

    Arcanist is still classified as dps because you can't exactly be a "healer" if you only have 1 heal in your entire kit and everything else is pure damage or damage support (Rouse, Sustain, dots, a dot spread, an instant cast, and a damage field).

    Well, at least I'm trying...

    SE tried it with Arcanist. They didn't like it. It's not going to happen.
