What Class Archetypes Are We Missing?

[CaptainLagbeard]

A few Jobs from around the games that could be made into something...

Ranger from FFTA2, a Melee DPS that uses traps, and had the option to use potions to attack

If they want to make a Ranged Phys with cast times, just take both Cannoneer and Flintlock and combine them into one Job.

Fencer from Bravely Second, Melee DPS, could rework it's stances into being sort of mini-phases in the same way current SMN does.


Also, I have said in other threads about new job ideas... A Tank using a Gunshield that would be primarily ranged, while it wouldn't do much in majority of fights, but in fights where the boss actually doesn't move (in EW for such you have Zodiark, Endsinger, Zeromus, P7 and P10) that would allow the tank to position more freely.

Fencer would be amazing tbh, and if they wanted a more FF feel for it they could use the Fencer job from FFTA1/2

I still want to know why they yanked all the time magic out of AST to then not do anything with it.

At least put the stun back on Celestial Opposition, cowards.

I REALLY want a nature caster. Not a healer, a caster. Geomancer would fit the bill, which I'm annoyed that it may take four to six years to find out if we will ever get it. :/

[VictorSpoils]

Melee Healer

Uses pressure points to fix injuries

Melee Healer: Higher HP/Defense/Damage but shorter-range and probably weaker heals
Melee Magic DPS: Higher HP/Defense, higher damage but obviously not as high as Yoshi's job, no rezzes
Ranged Tank: Kites enemies around, gives melee party members a range buff (LOL)

just spitballing here threw pure rule of cool but here it goes:

i want a sort of sudo melee summoner..
Idontknow~ call it a Ekion Eater; you channel the summons in to yourself to make you a more potent fighter, aka lady iceheart and reyn for instance, it could play with different summons the summoner doesn't have room for, it could be a damage dealer or a tank..

I wish this game had sub jobs. Like you could take summoner and pick the current summoner, or go the alternate route and be a tank using your idea.

And why they did the same to WHM with elemental magic.
