Arcanist and Summoner artwork

and idk how i feel about Carby being a tank lol. I have no strong feelings about this. Its will be new so it could be fun, or it will be absolutly terrible lmao.

If you played FFXI it would be no different -- Most used Carby as a distraction because she could hold her ground quite well at higher levels.

Now there's even more of a reason to do

What's wrong with Carby tanking it it... what little I played of Smn in Xi (and yes I know that this isn't XI just using it as an example on how I played) was solo and I said f it carby can take all the hate while I help fight. Same with any pet class like that you want the pets to be the damage takers not you. Carby doesn't do you any good when you're dead and they're alive

[Wynn]

For most pet classes, the pets they call do the tanking. That is generally their function. At least while soloing.

Of course, when in party, that is usually not necessary so it is great that SE is giving Carby another function so that it will still be useful in a group scenario.

oh i didnt mean it in a bad way. ya carby was good for solo, but then again this game is high link grouped mobs so im not sure how good carby will do compared to a war or pld is what im getting at.

[Rannie]

that's just it carby may be able to handle more than one mob to take a little bit off the load off the main tank... I doubt they're meaning carby to be an outright tank in the game remember carby is main focus tank for Arcanist not the Summoner

Arcanist is the class that would be more preferred to soloing over party group like a smn would be

also if you look at the concept art again it doesn't mention carby tanking for the Smn job just for the arcanist class ^_^

I only have one concern right now.

Make arc/other new classes unlocked rather then.. lodida walking around, but weathered item, TADA! UNLOCKED!...There will already be a massive flooding of the new classes running all over, I don't want it to be everyone and there pet monkeys cousin thrice removed's pet dog to be leveling it. ;x

But, at least I have time to tailor up a sexy librarian outfit!

defeats the purpose of unlocking jobs. It's fine the way it is and i doubt they're changing that fact. class easy to obtain jobs are unlockable

My thoughts is the 7 base classes - then the two new ones(And any from here forth) be "Advanced" classes. Jobs are always unlocked.

Be Interesting to have a book liek scholar. We will see.
