Jobs for Expansion AFTER Shadowbringers

[Valdegarde]

If Blue Mage hasn't been appropriately considered and adjusted before 6.0, then Blue Mage as a priority.

Otherwise, Mystic Knight, Green Mage, and Geomancer are some of my other personal favorites, then there's also Chemist, Sage, and maybe even Mediator, if Scholar's ability translations weren't already a nod enough to it.
If they're stubborn enough to continue this limited job nonsense, then Mime and Onion Knight are the only jobs that make a modicum of sense, as they are the only jobs actually limited by design in the other games, as well.

I have briefly considered that in terms of ranged DPS, no class or job has done Crossbows yet, so that's... Something... Problem is, I can't think of any jobs associated with it. At least, not in the handful of games I've played in the series.

They kinda missed the chance to incorporate AutoCrossbow into Machinist's kit and decided Desperado was a good enough reference to it instead. Ashley used a hand crossbow in Vagrant Story, maybe Riskbreaker would make for an interesting combination melee/ranged tank?

I think Beastmaster would do good with Crossbows and a melee pet. The pet does not have to be fancy, so long as it focus on your target and auto attacks, and the player does it's own flavored ranged physical DPS rotation.

As for my other "wish lists"
Healer: Necromancer (hey, at least it would be thematic that they raise the dead mid fight, I'm sure you can use some dark ritual magics to heal.) Weapon: harvesting hook
Magic DPS: Geomancer (I know, even I would like it to be a healer... but would it not be cool to have an earth/wind focused dedicated offensive mage?) Weapon, of course: bells.

These 3 leave us with 4 jobs on every sub-category. Beyond that:

Berserker? (Melee DPS, has a "rage" bar that fills up with every single action and depletes with inaction, the fuller it is, the more damage the Berserker inflicts) Weapon: 2 handed hammer.
Shaman? (Healer that calls upon vegetation and other forces of nature to heal and aid the party, they could wield some sort of totems as weapons.) Weapon: a drum.

Riskbreaker from Vagrant Story.

Riskbreaker from Vagrant Story.

Nice idea!

[CaptainLagbeard]

I want Time Mage and Viking.

[Lambdafish]

I've always wanted Chemist and Rune Fencer (Mystic Knight? Spellblade?). Though I would want Rune Fencer as a tank, so I wouldn't want that in 6.0. Maybe Chemist and Geomancer as Healer and Caster in 6.0?

I want Time Mage

Isn't AST a time mage in the same way that BRD is a ranger?

[Ilyrian]

I want Time Mage and Viking.

The problem is Time Mage is finding an identity for it in FFXIV.

If it starts using spells like Haste and Slow - either all bosses will be immune or a Time Mage becomes mandatory in every composition. Same with Haste on the party - every composition will need a Time Mage.

I suppose one way would be to have the TM only Haste themselves and that becomes a part of the rotation and gimmick but ultimately it renders Time magic just another flavor mechanic with no real benefits.
