Which Phantom Job do you want as a REAL Job?

[Kozh]

If they "tried" Chemist and it became Sage because they couldn't reasonably make a [Mix] and [Stash] (non-consuming items,i.e. normal actions) action set, then no offense they either were:

1.) Playing it way too safe with job design like usual
2.) Are too stubborn to accept a version of Chemist that isnt functionally similar to non-XIV variants of the job (hello Blue Mage)
3.) Are unironically lacking the creativity to design the job - which blows my mind considering how one could pick parts of past FF titles and even Bravely/Octopath titles and check for any item based job there.

Honestly, yeah. Them claiming that they have tried chemist but it turn to sage is such an insult. How sage is played is so far from how chemist works.

Chemist would be a nightmare, and they have steered clear of making jobs that require consumable items to effectively play their role.

Please no.

Personally how I would imagine Mixing working if they implemented it would be basically just Ninja's Mudras.

Please no.

Or they can make it not require consumables? /shrug

Just like how bard don't need arrows.

Best bet I have is Geomancer caster DPS in the future. Since WHM kind of steered away from the nature's elements.

If Healers exclusively had access to Phantom Jobs outside of OC, they might be able to perform on the level of other roles. Healers are THAT horribly underdeveloped and undertuned.

I actually like Time Mage - I know it kinda sucks that the Slow doesn't always work on every piece of mobs but I like CC like that when it does work, I personally like the comet nuke, I like the instant spell button (I forget the other two spells atm but I enjoyed it)

I think that sub jobs as a concept over all is cool and I'm looking forward to when the second half comes out.

Chemist!

Chemist chemist.

The answer is chemist.

The posts below are good too.

Finished Chemist and I LOVE the instant rez! I rezzed 5 people in half a minute, it was great! Not so thrilled about having to buy potions to do anything else with it though.

On Berserker, my last one, now… it only gets 2 skills and I have to get the last level to 12000? For what?!

Once I’m done, I’ll probably go back to Oracle because it’s still my favorite, followed by Geomancer and Time Mage when I want a little variety.

Ph. Chemist was actually done pretty well considering the FFV source.

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! ♥

I would personally LOVE that. Realistically, not going to happen because people will b*tch and moan about having to buy or create consumable, but honestly it would give me satisfaction of using my crafting class (which I level up casually).

Man, now I'm sad we will never get this.....
