Because we just got dancer in 5.0 I would say it is a pretty safe bet to say a caster and a healer will be coming

What type of caster could they realistically add though? We have the main archetypes (dot spec and caster spec) and RDM fills a gap as a bit of a proc/burst spec class.

I mean they keep adding stuff into the game for Geomancer. I mean other games have worked around getting passed one dot spec caster, one pure caster, and then whatever you would consider red mage. They have the technology and skill to make whatever they end up picking, work well.

I mean shit they put 4 melee into the game, considering at the end of the day you're just hitting something with a weapon, alongside whatever the class gimmick is. If they can make 4 melee dps feel unique and different that can do that with casters.

I'm pretty positive they can come up with something. In terms of aesthetics there are more than enough jobs to add after all. Healer and Ranged Magic DPS are what we should get, if they care about the way they set up the roles at least.

There was also a Geomancer mock up made recently that had them with positionals for their spells ending in channeled spells for a finishers. Now that would be an interesting new take.

I sincerely doubt SE will ever launch an expac without a new DPS job. Simply, too many people play such jobs, too many people would be disappointed with no new addition. I think it is more likely we'll see double-DPS additions in 7.0 or beyond again than we'll ever see no new DPS - particularly with trusts there to take pressure off queues.

But I'd also expect SE will rework jobs that attract the most complaints, as is their usual MO.

They need to fix their own jobs before adding new ones, Monk is definitely a priority in that regard. It has been ignored for far too long because of the dev team's terrible attitude toward it.

While I have zero faith in SE giving us anything worthwhile for MNK in 6.0, I am definitely hoping that since the dissatisfaction for the class is at its most vocal it has ever been, that their hand will be forced into overhauling it.

Seeing the complaints for MNK here gives me hope the devs will listen and actually fix MNK or rework. I really hope MNK gets acknowledged in the next live letter as a job that will receive adjustments.
