    Nature oriented job?

    Why isn't there a nature/wilds oriented job in FFXIV? I really like those.

    Examples, Druids, Shamans, (to a lesser extent) Hunters on WoW. Warden on ESO. Ranger on GW2.

    Closest is Conjurer/White mage but that's honestly pretty far.

    I'd like to see a job that actually draws from and uses nature magic. Like tangling roots, commanding insect swarms, also a focus on poisons would make sense. Plant and or animal based class. Like Wild Mage, or Beastmaster.

    CNJ and WHM are both closely tied to nature. It's not "pretty far", they simply are. I agree with what you're saying otherwise though. A hunter-like job would be amazing, or even a druid or shaman job. It'd be something different and this game needs different. I mained BM hunter in WoW for a long time before recently quitting. I miss it sometimes. Started playing ESO recently and Warden sorta fills that void.

    Other then 2 of it's spells none of it's abilities have a nature theme. I get it's lore is about that but it's not executed well in gameplay.

    This is a cultural thing and also biased by other games. White mage is a lot like a traditional druid. Some religions combine concepts of the supernatural and natural. Druids and Shaman are a kind of priest to them.

    I kinda feel like WHM lost the whole nature thing about lvl 40-50. The class quests might still have naturey lore, but abilities and game-play feel like generic stereotypical cleric.

    I'm mostly going off of lore, yeah.

    The whole class is nature themed. Youre connected to the spirits and the forest and all your attack skills have to do with wind or ground. Its what you get.

    BLM has ice, lightning and fire attacks if thats what you want, but for a nature themed class WHMs your option.

    I still wish WHM had a more nature theme to it, afterall CNJ is a druid in all but name.
