Job Wheel!

[Darkhaund]

My opinions bases on what is shown on that image are simply as follows

that "wheel" shows and HIGHLIGHTS jobs ONLY
Summeoner does not have a book (grimmoire)
and that DOES indeed look 100000% as a scholar, Even the socks, shoes etc etc no way of getting that wrong.

Now either

A: SE decided to change last minute the weapon of a SMN
B: Given that yoshi said that we need more caster classes they are doing SCH ALSO
C: Arcanist will unlock both SMN and SCH and both will use different types of books.

But that IS NOT AN ARCANIST.. period

While I agree with you, Point C doesn't make sense... if they used different books then that would mean that their base classes would be different! Maybe you should split C into 2 points? =b

maybe two types of books like a grimmore for SMN and a grimmoire for scholar? like two "schools of magic"

because why would SMN not have a book on this image... and ther is not way they just placed a CLASS IN THAT job wheel.. THAT IS a Scholar

I came to the same conclusion about its lack of weapon, too. But if it does still use a book then (we were talking about this in the thread earlier) SMNs would still use Grimoires whereas SCHs would use Tomes, meaning that they'd come from different classes altogether.

It's odd for SE to release just one job maybe this was just something they want to hide from us

I don't entirely get why people are so wierded out at the idea of two jobs coming from one class. Given how classes & jobs already work, jobs are just kind of an added tweak to push the class towards a towards a particular party focus. I could see having multiple jobs being kind of like class specs in WoW. Technically those build off the same base, but actually play very differently and often involve using completely different main abilities in party play. Arcanist is supposed to be pet + DoTs, so for example SMN could focus the class more on pet stuff, and SCH could take after the FFXI SCH and emphasize DoT damage. LNC is pretty much already most of the way to being a DRK, and CNJ could easily be pushed towards buffing and/or doing more damage with the "natural" elements as a Geomancer or Green Mage or similar.

Honestly, I was originally a bit tepid on the idea but the more I think about it, the more I hope that's what is actually going on. From a lore/thematic perspective, it fixes some of the weirdness everyone was feeling about the class/job transition, where every adventurer who wielded a spear suddenly developed a burning hate of dragons at level 30. And I suspect that if they do go this route, we'll actually see more jobs overall than we would otherwise since they won't have to spend all of the resources making a full class for each one. Instead of a bunch of people being unhappy upon finding out whether the scout class goes to NIN or THF, wouldn't it be more fun if the answer was both? Wouldn't it make a lot of people happy if they added a RNG job to ARC? The entire idea just seems made of awesome and I don't get why we're angsting about it. :P

Any job that spans off GLA WILL be a tank, because that's how GLA is built (trait and ability-wise), anythign coming off LNC will be a DD, anything coming off THM will be a magic DD etc. The only difference in making a new job come from the class is 5 different abilities and that's a whole lot of wasted potential; I'd rather they add it to a new class so that it has its own unique abilities from the start.

And having a new job added to the game that is already at level 50 will bum me out... to no end. Like everything isn't already handed to you on a silver platter >.<

That why jobs have two class subs any job that would come off GLA could easy become a powerhouse of a DPS. You just don't put the tank skill on your bar you could simple use the other ones you get. Or they could change how the spell works when you become said job it's a very simple fix.

It's not hard to believe not sure why people keep thinking it's a dumb idea. It make a lot of sense that a class get more then one stone.

Yoshi-p idea is to release a lot of class and then add Final fantasy jobs too each class and some will have more then one. Now if this going to happen or not is still unknown and we just have to wait and see. But trust me you still going to get class to level up. At the end level up is no longer the main selling point of any MMO it's the endgame that sell leveling up become a nuisance to a lot of players.

Just wait a see what happen before saying no too something.

ACN + CNJ = SMN
ACN + THM = SCH



probably~

[Fantasia]

ACN + CNJ = SMN
ACN + THM = SCH

If they did this truly dreadful idea (multijobs /gag) I'd expect them to be the other way around; SCH can be more curative whereas SMN should be DD
