Job hopes for next expansion?

[Theodric]

Necromancer. Or some other job themed around dark magic. Dark Knight is a good start, though other MMO's have multiple options for those of us who enjoy playing jobs with a more more grit to them. To say nothing of the fact that it's a common trope in JRPG's to use darker powers as a means to an end.

Actual dps rotations for the healers. Nothing too complex but something more than 1 dot 1 nuke and some other buttons you intermittently press.

Necromancer. I want a necromancer. T^T

This. Or failing that or some other darkness-using caster, some of the Ascian/void spells added to BLM's repertoire.

- This may be an unpopular opinion, but put 2-3 skill combos into a single button like in pvp. It doesn't take any more skills to do 1-2-3 than it does to do 1-1-1, but it simply complicates key binding matters for those without gaming mice for no reason.
- I don't even know what to propose, but do something for the healer experience.
- Some solo challenge mode similar to what BLU gets, or the wow mage tower. Only cosmetic rewards.
- Very minor thing, but maybe a little notification similar to achievement notifications whenever you get a spell. I recently caught myself not realizing that I got this one spell for like 8 lvls on an alt class lol.
- All jobs should have an ogcd spell by lvl 2 at the latest - the lack of ogcd in the early game is an atrocious first impression to newcomers. On the same topic, the jobs require to feel a bit more complete earlier in the leveling process.



On this topic, a darker themed healer job would be awesomesauce!

I like the 2-3 combo if it were an optional thing you could toggle off if you don't want to use it. I could see the potential value for people with limited key mapping real estate or who just prefer the PVP version of it.

I'm hoping for something I don't expect (aka not Chemist or Beastmaster). Not that I don't support them both, because I do, I just want something...unexpected. I'm fully expecting Chemist as a healer though, and would be genuinely surprised if it wasn't introduced. As to what the other job(s) would be? I don't know! That's why I want to be surprised. Give me something completely out of left field, SE.

the reason is some jobs don't go 1-2-3. they go 1a or 1b, 2a or 2b, 3a or 3b. until they figure out a way to do this without further simplifying said rotations, combos are staying in pvp sadly.

Yeah no, branching combos like the samurai's should definitely stay as they are, those have a valid and engaging reason to be separated. I just don't feel like this sort of thing absolutely needs to be an all or nothing thing - not all classes are equally affected by bloat after all.

I kinda agree... they can collapse the rotational combos into a single button (for most cases at least) so that can open up for new abilities and interactions. Because truth be told, despite a couple of examples, there's not a lot of meaningful differences in how the pve and pvp combos work, except the former occupying more keybinds.

I just hope SE figures out how to balance ranged DPS. It’s not hard....

For summoner I would like for egis to go away and dots to go away too. Current summoner doesn’t feel like a true summoner job. Where is my shiva, Garuda, leviathan, ramuh, titan and ifrit summons? Actual summons not some egis. I would like them to take a page from ff7 remake. Summon and let them fight on their own for the duration of their timer then do their ultimate attack and leave. Kinda like how machinist automaton and drk shadow does. We can rotate through them like let’s say Garuda and leviathan for example will be aoe summons that will aoe mobs down and we rotate ifrit, ramuh, shiva etc for single target. Will free up allot more buttons too because we will get rid of egi assaults. I still enjoy fester and painflare. New abilities can be spells that empower our summons when we summon them. Increasing their physical and magical strength. Even them giving us players some of their power kinda like how Phoenix does. For example summon Garuda then as she is aoe mobs 1-2 of our buttons change to wind spells that we can use to help so we not just standing around just summoning. That’s my hope. Summoner mains don’t kill me please

I...feel like I will be in the minority here, but I don't think Jobs should be made more complicated again.

Nothing wrong with that, but the healthy and sensible solution to something like that would be to offer jobs in a diverse range of difficulty levels like the current DPS roster offers, and not what the current trend is where everything gets dumbed down to appease the more casual players while leaving nothing for the high-end ones.
