Necromancer: Discussion of the dead

[KoujiGeki]

In all honesty I want each job/class decision made carefully. It needs to fill a profound niche that is not already being filled.

Please, convince us what profound niche Necromancer will fill that already live or already designed jobs will not.

And I hope hybrid is not part of your explanation. If everyone is given special exceptions... nobody is. The laws of balance.

Instead of Nukes like Blm and Whm it gets DoTs?

This is the issue I was trying to point out, Arcanist has already been the focus group for dot based combat, and its summoner job.

Arcanist is going to be a Debuffer not a DoT class there is a difference.

You could get in a big debate with a FFXI RDM with that statement.

Well thats a good point to cause not Arcanist is the Debuffing job it even says it on the ARR site. So now Rdm needs to be redone over but that derailing so lets not dive into that i made a Lets talk about red mage post awhile back. But there were Dot debuffs for Blm but they dont have them in 14, and they were elemental. And instead of Dia poisonand Bio that rdm had in 11 it would have Bio and poison Dia is still up for grabs with another job.

Really? then what does this official release imply?

Ok i didnt see that.But what if they only get a few Debuffs and not all of them, like they spill the Elemental wheel? Not saying that they wont get all of them but there could always be the chance that SE pulls that stuff again.
