Future Job Ideas

[DukeBurden]

I want to see SAM come back, DRK, and NIN. The current DPS class, I don't like. Melee I should say since BLM is technically a DPS class.

Dark Knight would likely require a new class utilizing a 2 handed sword. One could look at the FF Tactics A2 Lanista to be said class, requiring Thaumaturge as the sub class to unlock.

Ninja tank again? No thanks, its was a stupid concept that should not happen again. If there is an evade tank it should be Samurai. Ninja would be dps.

[Sadana]

Level 3 classes make sense here, to me. White Mage + Black Mage + some DoW = Red Mage, for example. I do like some of the other ideas tossed around. And I totally agree that DoH & DoL classes should be used for some Level 2 classes!

If it's sticking FF theme, I want to see Gun Mage, like Yuna (FFX-2) which could be advanced job for Archer.

My future Job idea is to get rid of the class system and focus soley on jobs.

And as for Knight, we already have lol.
Check the JP version of Lodestone, Paladin there is called Knight

Nice ideas, i was thinking something similar sometime ago.

Conjurer - Geomancer (Dps job for conjurer)
Thaumaturge - Necromancer
Archer - Ranger (Pure Dps for Archer, with a dps limit break)
Marauder - Dark Knight (Dps job for Marauder)
Lancer - Templar (from FFTactics serie, Tank job for Lancer)
Pugilist - Puppetmaster
Gladiator - Onion Knight (Dps job for Gladiator)

I could see Thief and Ninja branching off the same base "Rogue" class, alternatively Ninja and Samurai may branch off a base katana wielding class, one being a Dps the other being a tank.
Red Mage and Blue Mage may share a base "Spellblade" class while Corsair could easily come from the famous Musketeer class.

I could see Thief and Ninja branching off the same base "Rogue" class.

This sounds nice. Though perhaps the base class could be something other than "rogue" as the name is just.. worn out. Footpad, or something? I dunno.
The base class could wield a single dagger, whilst adding the Thief soulstone allowed an additional equipped to the offhand. Ninja would allow either a katana (single, or dual wield?) or perhaps dual wield sais or something.

The other ideas that are floating about I particularly like are the lance/shield types or the "level 3" jobs such as Black Wizard.
