So I took like a month break to catch up on WoW to see what I missed (for those who left and haven't checked in there isn't much to talk about) and I noticed something. WoW has quite the selection of magical dps classes (jobs) compared to FF14. So I started brainstorming a possible idea for a magic dps job that would be suited for FF14.

Now beware as I don't have a lot of knowledge of the final fantasy franchise outside of my experiences in FF14, FF7, FF6, and FF tactics. But I think a non far fetched idea would be...

The Painter job!

The Painter job is a Magical Ranged dps job that uses a Brush and Palette. By using aether around them they begin to form pictures in the air (or on some white rectangle thing i cant think of name). Once these pictures take form they are unleashed upon their enemies.

A few nice examples on how this would work: Painter begins painting a water fall, within the cast time of finishing it above the enemy a heavy wave of water pours onto the enemy and takes big damage.

A painter can begin painting a chocobo stampede and from the picture in front of them a bunch of chocobos rushes into the enemy in a stampede like animation and exploding back into paint upon impact.

A painter paints a picture of a Moogle caster (or any sort of pet / minion variant) that works as a timed pet combatant that fires magic at their enemis.

With the art and magic of painting anything is possible, there is no fantasy limit that they will have themselves bound too and within the FF14 universe we've faced a boss in Stormblood (i believe) that used paintings as magic against us and we used them to protect ourselves. So it isn't a far fetched idea.

If you guys have any great ideas or feedback for a new magical dps job, I would be glad to hear it! Thank you for reading!
