Dancer

[Cookiemonster]

Just a thought but it might actualy be another dd/support job like cor that fights mostly with kicks
Yeah, probably not.

[Beckwin]

How about dancer being a superfast and pretty lethal 1h meleer that would also open up a new offensive sj for 1h melee and would thus give ninja a potential buff? Dances could be something like different stances (think hasso/seigan) and then they could perform "flourishes" (or whatever you want to call them) for some minor damage/buffing/support (single target).

About the Time Mage subject...

Don't WHM goblins in Newton/Oldton cast Hastega? So... unless they changed WHM mobs(I think Gobs are the only ones that do it) to Time Mages, Time Mages(I assume) wouldn't get it.

Also, haven't SE already said in some interview that there will be "group" magic(I remember seeing this somewhere, but I think it might of been speculation), if so... take a look at the FFXI Intro movie again, you see I think 3 Taru BLMs casting together to make what look like Meteors/comets come down on the beastmen hordes.

So if that's true also... Time Mage won't be getting Meteor/Comet, BLMs will(I'd imagine you get the scroll, use it, learn it, it's faded out on your magic list untill you have 2 other BLMs in your party within' a certain radius).

/shrug that's all I got...

Since when do mobs apply to normal rules though.

To me it just wouldn't make sense to release a new expansion based on time travel and not add Time mage as a new job.

[ninjafox]

From that description, time mage would be a ridiculously stupid addition to the game, simly because all of those spells are in the game already

[Kachi]

All of them? Are you sure now?

[Alistaire]

Just a thought, but with the lack of unique spells they could make Time Mage the white magic equivalent of a DRK. Make it a melee with a few status spells for support/enfeebling. Couldn't really give it Comet/Meteor in that case but a lot of people think that'd be a bad thing anyway.

DD PLD?

[Alistaire]

Pfft, dancer raising TP, something else is probably rising if ya got a mithra dancer!

Am I alone in thinking that Mithra are not hot at all? I admit when I first started the game, I thought "OMG Mithra are HAWT!!" now when I look at them, "Meh." comes to mind.

It's SE's insistance on making every female character in the game an A-cup at best.

first thoughts on job...

DD PLD?

DD PLD is all healing spells except flash, TIM would have unique status spells. So I guess then TIM would be the melee equivalent of RDM not WHM. (And yes, this would be the second slap in the face to melee RDM's, BLU being the first, but tbh, they deserved it.)

[Shadowrunner]

I figure Time Mage would, for uniqueness, maybe get a form of Haste, Hastega, Haste II, Slow, Slowga, Slow II, Stop, Bind, Bind II, etc. that may.. I dunno, Stack with the existing spells to enhance time more than regular spells would? So you didn't have to tote a BRD in your party for extra Haste, and you didn't have to have a Summoner in your party for all those moments that you needed to Haste the entire party at once (lolr).

I dunno, I just figure they'll pull something out of it. There's aparantly no reason why it can't be done. Maybe a spell to reduce delay without effecting TP loss. Maybe something to make monsters not use abilities, maybe something that will help with movement speed! I dunno.

there's a lot of possibilities, just because they all exist in the game, I really don't want to go out into a meripo with BRD NIN WHM RDM SMN DD to have all of these spells readily available. It'd be nice to stuff em all into one TMG

[deivi]

the problem with trying to guess what new jobs could be is that there's nothing we really ~need~ at this point, even before TAU. It's hard to make up a job that dosent seem like a clone or gimp/broke hybrid of existing jobs, and even harder to come up with a entierly new pt role. But for better or worse TAU jobs are really unique in their methods of performing, even if other jobs can replace them. My point is I trust the new jobs (as far as abilities) will be unique and unexpected, utility aside.

[Kaliden]

Dancer looks cool, but they need to add a Lute to bard instruments already. I need to bust out some guitar soloes.

When I played FF1 as a kid I always thought they meant Flute, and had no idea what a Lute was at the time.

[Burningthought]

So eh... thats kinda weird <_< another job that can charm...

[fantasticdan]

Well, dancer will probably have a charm dance, lol.
