How Many Would Have Rather Seen RDM than SMN

[Mamakat]

Here are a few things to take into consideration. The following is taken from the third (and last) player poll that concluded on march 26th of this year:


==Battle System and Combat Classes==
Q1. What type of jobs/classes would you most like to see added? (Up to 2 answers allowed) *
A. An assassin-type class that uses lethal and stealthy attacks. (ex. Ninja, Thief, etc.)
B. One that controls and fights alongside a pet or avatar. (ex. Summoner, Puppetmaster, etc.)
C. A new type of magic-user that uses enfeebling magic and close-range attacks. (ex. Red Mage, etc.)
D. A new type of fighter that uses enfeebling attacks and inflicts special damage. (ex. Dark Knight, etc.)
E. An original class unlike any of those described above. (ex. Musketeer, Arithmetician, etc.)


This pole allowed you to pick two choices, the poll results were never posted. I assume this was so that people wouldn't know what jobs they were intending to release.

The results were released in Letter from the Producer XXIX on 6/4/12


I originally thought the same thing as people had mentioned about RDM being in there for enfeebles, but if your melees are doing proper combos, they add debuffs to the mobs anyways. The only thing we're missing as a spell is a good DoT. Who's to say arcanist won't get that though. We'll just have to wait and see

I prefer more classes for discipline of Magic, honestly. It kinda felt left out from other discipline so far, by only having two variant of spell caster.

For an original class, maybe something like Warlock > Necromancer will do? Instead using staff, they use dolls as their main weapon.

... wait, that's Voodoo. （´∀｀）
