Let's talk: Advanced Jobs

[Kallera]

I...don't like this. There's just something about it that seems considerably off, I think its how your new jobs would essentially be different (read:better) than the old jobs, and thus either restricting combat variety in parties, or running into the "Unstoppable THM" situation again.

Personally, I believe there is a class for SCH that hasn't been announced.

[Akubikumo]

Its the least messy option

This is what I feel is most likely.

Loremaster! Lorekeeper? Loremonger...

Librarian?

I'd bet on Mystic (another word for occultist, as well as one of the "unused" class names)

[Alaltus]

I don't remember where i read it... but weren't the Spriggans supposedly Mystics and the stones they carried was a Mystic's weapon/source of power?

Mystic does sound plausible yin-yang user, dark and light, black and white.

While a DRK could pull off solo using drain abilities, it is still a job with limitations to what it can fight, and therefore would excel in a balanced party. Just like a THF could use sneak to get off a major attack solo, but would better serve a role behind the enemy in a party.

I'm not suggesting that this would replace jobs, but become a welcome role, filling missing niches in the current party dynamic.
