Thread: 6.0 New Job (Healer: Sage and Melee DPS: ???)

I doubt itll be a big generic scyth like a reaper probably be something more like kusarigama(two small scythe) and be good fit for scouting class
what said class could be who knows it could be something completely unique

The fact it's a Sex Pistols reference means (at least IMO) there are a ton of references to what it could be:

1. Templar: the movie it's referencing is directed by Justin Temple (this was done before with Samurai and a Spiderman T-Shirt, the reference being Sam Reimi)
2. Orator: The "Flame and the Fury" was a Headline published by a UK newspaper for the band talking crap at an interview they gave (an offensive speech talking job)
3: Shikari: There is another English Rock Band called "Enter Shikari", a job from FF12, that are basically Indian Hunters that would fit in with Thavnair / Radz-At-Han influences.

It's probably none of these though. XD

I highly doubt it's gonna be Beastmaster.
Yoshi-P already said that he dislikes pet jobs and SMN is already a mess because of that.
I don't think they would implement another pet job.

I'd love to see a melee class that uses a scythe for the simple fact that it's not commonly done in mmos, at least to my knowledge. Scythes seem to be mostly reserved for casters who use necromancy or npcs.

apparently Drg was mentioned in a interview about the new melee and how Drg is "unique" in terms of DPS (as in gear and how slow it is compared to other 3 melee)

so i guess that confirms it as a heavier type of Dps so maiming gear is a safe bet

I would guess it’s going to be a scythe class and wouldn’t be surprised if it were called Reaper.

Everyone was chanting chemist and we got sage. I'd say its gonna be a original FFXIV class too

To be fair something did happen in the game that seemed to suggest chemist might be a new class. Very often in the past SE introduced new classes by having new npcs as those classes before players could access them. Considering this the miqo child npc who wants to be a traveler who helps others with her alchemy can easily appear to be a teaser about a new type of healer. We have seen this sort of thing before.

At this point I'm wondering if SE made that miqo npc just to fool us into thinking a combat alchemist class was coming, and then would get great joy in our shock at seeing Alphinaud being a healer with weapons we have never seen before and appear to have no relation to alchemy or chemist.
