Ideas from an Unemployed Game Designer - FFXIV style!

[Talon_Luna]

@Altena
Gonna start off by saying, Great feedback, certainly the stuff I was looking for from this thread.
Wasn't kinda worried about how people would think of DRK being a Tank class. I personally like the idea of the WoW Death Knight, and made DRK build of FF skills into a role like that.
I feel that MRD can perfer a DD roll better then GLD can, and right now WAR can got both ways (ya I said it >.>)
I totally see where you are coming from. Maybe Ill make a DD DRK after im done with the other things I am working on now.

As for your RDM comment, I am working on building a new class -> job tree for this kind of class
The reason I chose GEO to spawn from CNJ is because, already, CNJ is in tone with nature, using and treating the elements with respect and such. Wanted to keep that storyline flow into the jobs etc. etc.

I personally would like to see a more melee oriented caster type of RDM, chaining melee attacks into spell combos and provided enfeebles to their enemies.

Thanks for the update!

Today's works are:
New Class: Magic Knight
New Jobs: Magic Knight -> Rune Fencer Magic Knight -> Red Mage

Next Post: Dancer!

Hope the views keep coming o.ob

BLU to me would be more of a tanking class than DRK but that from what i picked up about BLU do like these ideas do seem pretty sweet.

Also don't forget even tho BLU is double Swords it would be curve swords, that way it would work with this system as well and leaves PLD with its normal long/short swords.

Keep up the gd work and i do hope to see BLU in this game really soon

Geomancer seemed cool, but I didn't like (personally) your interesting theories on DRK or BLU.

Good stuff though dude.

BLU was quite the challenge to keep within the realm of FFXIV as it is right now.
Keeping to the 3 abilities, 1 weaponskill and 1 15min ability, it would seem like too much of that system would be lost if you made it a 'true' BLU allows access to any enemy spell at enemy time.
I sort of mixed the Mime Job and the Blue Mage job together for this.


In other news! Original post updated with DNC design. Lemme know what you guys think!

Yeah, I tried thinking on how BLU would fit too.

My possible theory was he got his 15 min ability, and 4 slots. and could slot any of his learned abilities in. Quests later on in the BLU questline would relinquish more slots. And a learned spells tab under attributes.

I think a dev said there is no plans for BLU currently anyways, so it doesn't really matter.

Main post Updated!
Here is Magic Knight, my first crack at building a class from the ground up.
It follows a similar scheme to the current one in game (I think I finished a combo too early but then another too late)
Regardless, the numbers see to work

To follow along with MGK we have Red Mage and Rune Fencer. Lemme know what you think!
