Future Job Ideas

[OrganizationXIll]

These are just my speculations about future secondary jobs. I had gradients going but the darker colors took precedent and it conveyed the wrong ideas. Basically, I was thinking Samurai could be a DD that could off tank very well. Knight would have tank status, but be able to deal pretty good damage with counter attacks. Also, as I mentioned before, this was an old image. I also had Chemist going into 2 un-named classes that would throw vials. (One Debuff and one Healer) This could maybe start the DoH requirements making it get extra skills for having a higher Alchemist if people really want to go that route.

EDIT: I used the wrong image. I had fixed this, but the requirement for Black Mage is Archer. XD

As long as the Ninja doesn't have to rely on consumables to actually tank I have no problem with them becoming a tank. FFXI Had the problem where 1% of the actual Ninja tanks used their tools like there was no tomorrow, and they were awesome tanks. However for the rest of the 99% they barely used any tools, if at all, and failed miserably.

The rest don't look bad, although when I think of a Dark Knight I think of 2 handed weapons, not 1. Of course I'm a little biased since my EQ and FFXI days.

In my mind the Dark Knight was intended to be more of a caster. I was thinking they could cast magic with their free hand. Meh. lol

I do not see Red Mage in there.

That's because I made the Dark Knight very similar to Red Mages. xD

ninja as a tank? yeah, no. never again. terrible thread

Why is it such a bad idea? It didn't work in FFXI I know, but if the skills were used masterfully, it was a pretty darn good tank. I think a good evasion tank could really switch up the game play. Require less healers as his whole goal is to not take damage at all. Coming from Pugilist it could get Second wind to restore any damage it DOES take. In theory you could not need a healer at all in pre endgame dungeons with a ninja tank.

I would rather see Dancer come form pug as a healer (I notice you include no healers) and templar from lancer (similar idea though) as tank. Samurai seems a little off coming from mrd, Id rather berserker as DD and have sam/nin come from more proper classes later. I agree with sniper/ranger (probably be labled ranger) sorc is an interesting idea. I always thought we could maybe get geomancer from con, but if we did we would want sep job weapons ( like you also mentioned). The theme is close, just the weapon off, unlike say the sam idea where both are off.

I could actually see Dancer being a Buff role (if buff and debuff became roles) rather than healer.
