    Will Dancer make a good sub?

    Let the wild and unfounded speculation about - if Dancer will make a good sub or not, begin!
    No; is my gut feeling, in light of the recent new jobs they added. Ok, sure, /BLU can be useful in an extremely small number of circumstances. But no new jobs are as useful as say /NIN, /WAR, /SAM, /WHM, etc. Granted, some of the old jobs are also only very situation subs, but I think on the whole they still have more use than the 3 new ToAU jobs.
    All this doesn’t bode well of /Dancer, I suspect that even at a push it will only be subbed as much as BLU is, but who knows.
    Thoughts?

    Re: Will Dancer make a good sub?

    Well, I'm tempted to say no as well, since SE has made a habit of making jobs that are less and less useful as subs as they make them, but I stopped and thought a moment. In FFV, the first incarnation of dancer, you could equip dance as a support ability to spam swords dance. But it all really depends on what exactly dancer does. If its a spike DD, I somehow doubt it would make a good sub, but if it is support it could be in the air.

    Still I'm hoping they do something cool for dancer and make dances that do magical DoT or something.

    Re: Will Dancer make a good sub?

    Well considering that the only JA that DAN has that would be worth having as a sub is lvl 40 I don't think it will be, or was intended to be a viable subjob. Ya' know the JA that makes it a psuedo-tank, while still maintaining the high damage output and yet still able to be a back line supporter.

    Seriously not to be a dick (ok maybe a little), but until we know exactly what role and what abilities DAN will have there is no way to even speculate about this. You should have said "let's make up shit about /Dan"

    it really depends on what dancer does... i mean we really no nothing about the job at this moment...

    Well to me, judging by the videos, Dancer looks like a DD(its stated on the main site that its a frontline job), maybe it will make a good sub for other DDs or some sub-par DD like RDM (lol melee rdm) Maybe for THF?

    Or maybe its the true Jack-or-all-trades and can be a useful sub for everything we really cant decide from what we know

    Re: Will Dancer make a good sub?

    That's going to depends on it's job spells/traits/abilities pre 37, and how well it would carry over while being subbed.. pretty much how every other sub is determined.


    Although I just want to say No for some reason.

    I wish they would add sheilds, belts and capes that work with /COR, /BLU and /PUP; that might go some small way towards getting people to use them as subs more.

    Re: Will Dancer make a good sub?

    I don't think any of them ToAU jobs actually had any good as mains let alone subs. Too eairly to tell about WotG job but I would guess they probably not be as good as jobs we have now cause SE.

    We don't even know a single fact about the job beyond some very vague flavor text. This is worse than the "HAY, WHAT'S THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IN A FFXI PART 2" thread.
