Next Weapons

[Kolsykol]

I rly want a whip/sword weapon like Ivy in Soul Calibur in a MMO.
Other than that I wish we had a '' gunner '', MCH doesn't quite feel like it and I am not a fan of how you're pulling out drills and saws etc it feels weird to me.

I want blitzball as our next range dps

I've never understood why ff14 thinks pet classes are a pain. They have a companion system that functions perfectly and you could use that as a base for a pet class. Have your standard rotation pieces, the 123 and aoes, and have a pet that does an auto basic attack, and the ogcd's be the special commands for the pet. Its like they want to reinvent the wheel and create a whole new way of doing pet jobs, but in reality the wheel is fine. give us the wheel and make it sparkly lol.
I would guess that this will be a double dps expansion, 1 for magical ranged and 1 for physical, considering they are the 2 roles with the fewest full jobs and we got a healer in EW and a tank in ShadowBringer. And a physical ranged that shares armor with ninja that uses a whip could be a lot of fun. I find the phys range works like a bullseye. Bard and Machinist work best at outter mid to long range, I find dancer works best midrange or closer to melee, a whip class that works within the midrange could be fun. A build like Belmont would be a great basis.

its not really a pet job issue
its just SMN/SCH are riddled with 2.0 flaws

100% with how far the games come they could easily make a competent pet job

Flasks. For a Chemist job.

Yeah, beating a dead horse at this point, but I would still like this to happen eventually.

Hope they add the Judge job with these weapons in the game soon. Gabranth in XIV is using the same stance as his original counterpart in XII.

i'd like something that uses a crossbow. bard is great, but it leans too far in the musical aesthetic, leaving "ranger" unused

Big believer is visuals.
Whip







Heavy Laser Canon/ Gatling Gun

Tera Online Gunner for reference

It's obvious that Square wouldn't want weapons overlapping between jobs (new job with a hammer/bow probably won't happen)

The only two I could see them adding that are vaguely similar to older jobs are a dual wielding job that uses regular swords, instead of the NIN "daggers" and maybe a dual-gun job that's not steampunk like MCH is.

Other than that the new jobs could have a Whip, Mace or a Crossbow... again, not a lot of options left unless they come up with something new like with SGE/AST

I like the vampire whip suggestion, perhaps it could be our first holy theme'd DD job too which would fit an extra level of newness to the game (beyond whatever gimmick of combat). And not the frilly purty holy but more like vengeful, wrathful, old testament holy lol, though maybe you could include other color if it was also vampire theme inspired (like light layers of blood magic, other some other interesting combination of holy and aggressive theme... though avoid too much similarity to Dark Knight, Reaper, and Black Mage.. would be nice to hit upon a new visual style given you've the trifecta in those colors). Some sort of Demon Hunter job.

Plus with the whip suggestion you can have a lot of variations, like I've seen chains a few times in here. Depending on how they feel it could incorperate a lot of stretchy like ideas, say like a flail imagery with the chain growing on attacks, but then a classic rope whip, to the cross whip seen in Alacarn's post.
