    More Jobs for our current classes

    Greetings everyone,
    After having blast leveling the new ACN class i loved how it has the possibilities to branch into different jobs, giving us more gameplay variety.
    I'd love for other classes to have more jobs choices aswell so, as a simple fan of the game as i am, i've been thinking on what could fit in the game using legacy FF jobs and our current lore without inventing too much.

    CNJ - Geomancer
    Geomancy could fit well with the earth and wind theme and could give CNJ a Damage Dealer alternative, there is no real lore about geomancy at the moment but i think it could easily fit with the twelveswood/nature theme.

    THM - Necromancer
    A job that rarely appeared in the FF series although necromancy was often used by npcs and enemies.
    FFXIV seems to have the lore for it though: Sil'dih, the ancient city enemy of Ul'dah, employed Dark Arts to raise the dead as soldiers (which are those undead mobs roaming around its ruins).
    It would still be a Damage Dealer but, unlike BLM, it would focus more on debuffs than burst damage and could, possibly, summon temporary undead pets.

    ARC - Ranger
    Ranger seems a no brainer choice for archer, it would be a pure damage dealer with crowd control added to it (traps, nets etc).
    In the lore it could easily fit with the Southern Shroud miqo'te poachers or the Sagolii Desert rangers.

    MRD - Dark Knight
    This job would focus more on the slaughter aspect of the MRD class, gaining reckless abilities and draining moves offering the class a damage dealer variant job.
    The lore doesn't have Dark Knights as of yet but they could easily be put somewhere, maybe as a fighter sect which made pacts with Voidsent?

    LNC - Templar
    This job is taken from the FFTactics serie, i could see it as a tank variant for the LNC class, focusing on enhancing and self healing magicks.
    In the lore they could easily be the elite force of the Holy See of Ishgard, mirroring what the Paladins are for the Sultanate of Ul'dah.

    GLA - Onion Knight
    This one was a hard pick since it's not that easy to find a sword and board job that wouldn't be too similar to a paladin.

    I would like to see a Red Mage which would be in my eyes would be cool. This would be hard to achieve since well the Red Mage is a very versatile class, being combat and magical efficient with both Healing and Damage spells, but would give the chance to a magical melee dps or even a caster tank...

    Ninja and Thief would be nice to see too since they are also one of the original jobs in FF1

    Red Mage would be nice however i didn't include it because i couldn't really see it coming from any of the current classes, it may probably need a new one (Fencer?Spellblade?) which could be shared with something like Blue Mage.
    The same would apply to Thief and Ninja, they'd need a new base class, probably a melee DEX based one.

    I knew i forgot someone anyway, here is it:

    PGL - Puppetmaster
    This job comes straight from FFXI where many people loved their little automatons, it could be a melee based Damge Dealer with buffing potential along the lines of BRD buffs.
    The lore could be simple, we already have many mammets in Ul'dah, we just need someone who decides to turn them in battle-robots!

    Berzerker

    Berzerker - A warrior who uses his vital energy coming directly from the gods of the ghetto, to cause mass destruction, A class standard in all RPGs and that in my opinion could not have stayed out of this excellent game.

    THF > Ninja It's been a while but I believe that was a FF Tactics progression for those classes.

    I really miss the Time Mage, I just love to mess with stats and use gravity/star-based spells.
    Let's hope they'll add a secondary branch class to every base class - that'd be awesome

    dualist for glad to become a dps.

    i know there already dps but honestly a dps is restricted to a certain weapon its annoying. and dualist always looked awesome.


    it could be a speed depended dps. to be able to perform skills and attacks faster than other classes yet not more powerful then a warriors or a pure dps.

    There's one that I always loved from when I played AD&D called the Arcane Archer. I think something similar would fit well in this game.
