Puppeteer and other new jobs I would like to see

[kelevra13]

Puppeteer

Role: Tank

Overview: Instead of a pet job where the puppet is autonomous, it would be controlled by the character with strings (like an actual puppeteer). Active skills would be attacks made by the puppet as well as buffs that benefit both it and the user. Puppet's can only be healed by the user (for example, a skill that sacrifices 30% of your max HP to heal it for 30% of its max HP) and any damage taken would be split between them.

Job Gauge: The icon would be a marionette. Depending on the skills used, a different part of the marionette would glow for a few seconds (head, body, arms, and legs) which will allow you to use additional skills.
- Head: Single target attack that leaves a poison DOT
- Body: Damage reduction buff for both the puppet and user
- Arms: Grab attack that generates enmity
- Legs: AOE (Fan area) sweeping attacks (2 charges)

Weapon: Puppet cross (main hand) and Strings (off hand)

Green Mage

Role: Healer

Overview: Main skills would be a variant of reflect, protect, shell, and one with both types of damage reduction, but they would all have HP regeneration. Other skills I thought of would be bubble, reverse, and probably float/floatga (to avoid certain ground attacks maybe?).

Job Gauge: Haven't thought of an icon for it, but the mechanic would be that they would have access to certain damaging spells depending on the number of unique buffs they have on themselves or party members. More buffs = stronger damage.

Weapon: Hammer

Other classes: Corsair (tweaked from FFXI to fit) and Juggler (wields throwing knives, so ranged DPS, and focuses on DOTs and debuffs)

i dont really commend in these kind of threads, fanfiction has been ruined for me. I will say however that the marauder guild has a job sign that is 2 pistols since forever. So im w8ing for that now that mch has had his gun identity stripped .

That class is Musketeer, or 'MSK' for short - it was a planned class since the original version of FFXIV (version 1.0), alas it was never implemented into the game, and I think by this stage SE has pretty much abandoned any plans to do so. It can be assumed that what work they had done it was cannibalized for MCH anyway (a Limsan MSK appears during the MCH Job quests to teach you musketry techniques) so I think it's pretty clear MSK simply will never be added sadly.

Thanks for the info, i was always wondering what that was. though to hear theyve given up on that makes me feel dead inside TT

they said that PUP ( PuppetMaster) would be one of the Limited Jobs for XIV. FFXI puppet can either heal, tank or dps i believe depending on the attachments

Nice! Really wanted to play FFXI before, and Puppetmaster was the class I was eyeing. Alas, I didn't have enough to spend monthly on it or on decent internet back then. I'd play it now if they had it on PS4.

Is this where you crush your allies and instead of them getting flattened, they get healed because magic? Amazing, sign me up.

Hence why I want reverse in its skill list if ever
