Rather than pushing for eight ranged jobs, we really should be adding in more supports, which I hope will be in the next set of additions.
I would prefer the new caster to be closer to BLM in terms of function. High damage low on on the utility scale.

I want another caster that isn’t a Rez mage and therefore isn’t paying a tax so it can compete with black mage, when adding in a small amount of damage utility.

Summoner used to compete once upon a time.

I’m a little bummed with all the hype in the new melee job. It’s all the content creators are talking about.

We just got a melee job, in an expansion that was heavily melee focused.

I really want the developers to give casters some love.
