Elementalist/Shaman

[Onidemon]

As a new class/job I would see Elementalist/Shaman as a melee type with elemental based buffs and debuffs.

They would dual weild daggers and wear light armor. They can fill up the role of an off-tank with earth based spells similar to stoneskin and other spells to mitigate damage. They can also buff the party with elemental armors, spells that add elemental proprieties to weapons etc. They could also debuff mobs with spells like ivy that slow movement or stall the enemy and DOT spells.

They could use TP based attacks too.

You start off as Shaman and the job is elementalist.

Req: 30 Shaman, 15 conj, 15 thau

What you guys think?

EDIT: Something like this http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Geomancer_%28Final_Fantasy_Tactics%29

well seriously wow isnt the only game with shamans in it ;D

Mh Geomancer would be fine but dual-wield daggers are for Thief already I think :/

the thief in FFXI had only one dagger and a shield except ninja as a subjob.

Sure, but I think it is a bit different in XIV while I think of Ninja beeing the job for THF class.

it cant be the job for thief, because thief is a job.

dont mix it up:

what we have in FFXI?

classes in FFXIV:

thaumaturge, conjurer, puglist etc. (all have been inventions)

jobs in FFXIV:

white mage, black mage, warrior.... thief (will be in the same league, because its a traditional ff job)



they have to invent a new class for each job.. it wont work in an other way.. because the job is just built on the class and has the same weapon.

Aw sure, sorry my mistake. But THF will get dagger as weapon I think. I don't know how they want to do this since GLA was the only class using dagger until now, but I think it will happen. I hope they will find a possibility to give players the option of dual-wielding instead of using a shield. Was cool in XI.

Although I'm not keen on the name you suggest, I like the idea behind the job and its skills.

Geomancer is probably closest thing in a FF game that we have.
