Job Idea: Blitzer (Ranged)

[Mimilu]

Blitzer (BLZ)
Self-Augmenting and Buffing Physical Range DPS
Physical Ranged
Weapons: Blitzballs
Limit Break: Tides of Fate (Physical Range). The user creates a large sphere of water and kicks it forward, creating a tidal wave that damages all enemies within a straight line.
Inspiration: Tidus, Wakka, Jecht, and Blitzball (Final Fantasy X), Archer/Hunter/Ranger/Sniper



ENTIRE JOB IDEA OVERVIEW

TL;DR Version
• You’re Wakka from X with some Tidus and classic ranger sprinkled in.
• Hurt enemies by throwing your ball at them and splashing them with water.
• Damage is centered around weaponskills with abilities focusing on augmenting, buffs, and/or utility.
• Alter your basic single-target and AoE weaponskills, Sphere Shot and Crashing Wave, with Buster abilities to add effects to them. These altered weaponskills do not interrupt your ongoing combos.
• Self-buffs require you “score” stacks by successfully hitting a marked target with weaponskills. You can then use those stacks to use and power up strong Blitz Ace weaponskills.
• You have a 4-part single target filler combo and a 3-part AoE filler combo.
