We need a Mystic Knight/Rune Fencer Job

[DamianFatale]

FF16 is making me want that magical swordsman vibe with actual hand to hand combat. Not Red Mage. I mean elemental buffed swords, and epic attacks from the sword itself. Not a bunch of spells flung from afar, and then chained into an attack. I mean an actual swordsman. I hope that we get that niche in FFXIV someday.

[Mithron]

Yep. I want a Mystic Knight enspeller spellsword melee tank, where I imagine their rotation has them playing very similar to SAM in that they build up Enfire, Enblizzard and Enthunder charges then unleash them all into one big attack.

[Yeol]

I've been wanting Mystic Knight since Heavensward. If they do go with it, it's most likely going to be a melee DPS.

[Vandso]

There's a high chance they'll add Mystic Knight at some point. I wonder what kind of weapons he would use. Maybe dual swords.

スレイヤーDPS
魔導剣士
ルーンブレード(両手)
ルーンブレードを両手一本ずつ持っている。竜騎士とリーパー同様エネルギーが溜まったら赤フェーズに入る。
それぞれ範囲攻撃の形があると思うのですが、竜騎士は直線上、リーパーは前方三角形、魔導剣士は円形。
赤フエーズの時は魔法が使えて、遠距離から詠唱ありの攻撃が出来ます。赤魔導士の逆パターン。

Role: Maiming DPS
Rune Fencer
Dual sword wielder. Both DRG and RPR charge resources and go into enhanced phase(This is before DRG rework).
They have AoEs that are shaped differently; DRG is straight lines, RPR is cones, so Rune Fencer might use circular AoEs.
During Rune Fencer's enhanced phase, like a reversed RDM, they can cast magical attacks with cast times .

Well, since the Mystic Knight is always represented by a arab swordsman (or in case of FFXI a fancy Dark Knight) I think curved blades would be more accurate.

Not always!



Granted this job is named spellblade but it's literally the same thing. I do hope this is a future job though.

(Jokingly being pedantic, don't take this super seriously)

[VictorSpoils]

All these FFXI job topics got me thinking...

[Kaliesto]

If we're going back to Ivalice in some capacity in 7.0 then its always possible

unless Nagxia/Valnain ends up giving us Mystic Knight instead.

This is Blue Red Mage.
