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

Clearly we are getting Uncle Death from Let It Die as a job.

NEC most likely.

So we're gonna be looking at 4 tank, 4 healer, 5 melee, 3 casters and 3 ranged physical.

Why do we need so many melee? Though I am a bit confused as to why Yoshi kept saying sorcerer and then we got "melee" in english.

When you think about it we have more ranged dps compared to melee dps its just that the ranged are separated by phyiscal and magical

Death knight or some gross offspring of (Necromancer/Rune Fencer) names like Reaper, Shadow Knight, or maybe we are overthinking it

We don't have a melee dps that uses maiming gear yet. Its just DRG for now

And if you look at it we have more physical than magical. Just because its true doesn't mean we are getting a magical melee.

To add to the magical melee speculation, while addressing the role quest extension Koji specifically mentioned physical Melee jobs and SE being so hell bent on having the same amount of jobs across roles could put it into the caster role but still be melee

They are separated like that because they are considered different roles according to the main FFXIV website.
