Which Phantom Job do you want as a REAL Job?

[SkankyRoe]

If they ever consider adding it to main game not having a material cost for some healing spells it would be a total shame aswell!
Imagine having to prepare/grind materials or use ALC made stuff as consumables per cast in regular dungeons, heck make them more potent than other healers to compensate for the prep, and in case someone doesn't prep they still have a weak heal they can use. It would definitely add a lot of variety versus the other healers! ♥

This would be a terrible idea. The grind/gil cost associated with the job would be far too high for most players, especially for high-end content like savage and ultimate. The job would likely be shunned from most content as well due to the risk of them running out of consumables mid-duty(a particularly big risk for fights with door boss/checkpoints)

No, if we were to get Chemist as a proper job it's kit needs to work without consumables. Which, as has already been mentioned in this thread, has already been done with the X-2 iteration of the job.

Ranger as a physical range job that calls animals for help.

What is so exciting about chemist? It does nothing interesting, it doesn’t have an aesthetic as it has no unique casting animations. It’s basically just a dumping ground for use of items that used to be able to be used by anyone in Bozja

Still confused as to why chemist doesn't have some kind of attacking/debuffing or buffing potion instead of mostly being a glorified rezz bot.

Or how ranger wastes two levels on a trait (which should never be the only thing a phantom job gets on a level up unless it fundamentally changes the way it works like berserker's third level) instead of having an additional animal action.

None.

Frankly, a lot of PJ actions are giving me “Why are you not in the main game?”-feels, because of how inoffensive & safe they are. They could very well distribute these phantom actions across the main job’s arsenals tbh. I.e. give Geomancer’s bell buffs to WHM so they finally get something to do. Give AST Oracle’s Predict. Let SGE have something that’s akin to Ph.Monk’s Phantom Kick. Silver Cannon-like GCD for SCH but 5s debuff duration… and many more.

Chemist IMHO is an insult.

Take a look of what “Mix” command was capable of in other series, and the most they could think of are… 5s Benediction, 5s Manadiction , and trap Elixir? Really? Worse, the defining raid in the content are yelling at healers: “Look, we’re going to take away your raise in this place… but you can have it back by consuming your one only PJ slot to get it back lol.. with Chemist!!”

Geomancer or Oracle Idunno I like them I also like throwing coins at my enemies as Samurai. lmao.
But I think I'd want geomancer more.

I wish Phantom Jobs just became part of the main game. Would be nice to have it as a sub class. For normal casual mode it would be a nice addition. I'd also just disable it in Extreme/Savage/Ultimate for balancing reasons. For regular trials and dungeons / story / fates it would be fine.

Even if it's not the phantom jobs as they are in OC. OC has just shown how nice having alternate playstyles as subclasses are. Mainly just an issue because the base jobs have become so stale now.

If you have to disable part of the game's job system in certain content, then you're not designing the job system well.

Would be nice that you could unlock them in OC, and then use them in the rest of the game TBH. I'm not sure how much that would break some balancing, but it'd be nice to add some world bosses around Dawntrail you could use the Phantom Jobs on.

It would be nicer if we had utility skills and spells from main and phantom jobs that could make navigation and certain boss fights easier. That'd make jobs more unique where some are more useful in certain situations than others, but also important to give the rest their share of the spotlight eventually to balance it on the long run.

Cannoneer. Dragon Quest X has a "Pirate" vocation that summons Cannons that it uses to do its skills which I feel is something that can work in XIV. The firing line of a Cannon in DQX is pretty wide and forgiving and since this game loves its similar circular boss arenas they would be perfectly viable. Probably would be problem with how XIV hates gimmicks on its jobs or "pets" so it'll never happen but I dream of a day when they'll be unique again and we'll have fun new ways to play.

The job I enjoyed most was Oracle, but it’s probably too close to AST to be its own job. But I also really enjoyed Geomancer, which I didn’t think I would. Still have Chemist & Berserker left after I finish Samurai.
