--------------

Warrior

Ability that creates a benefit to WAR for claims. Something like a MNK counter that also stores TP. Used to help pulling. Instead of creating a new tank job, trying to improve existing tanks.

Monk

Concept for MNK is to reduce TP given. Possibly adding something to Kicks - either a weapon skill or a battle stance that increases kick attack speeds.

White Mage

At the time of the new expansion - new spell called Repose - a sleep spell. Also effective with scholar sub. Also want to add more teleport spells.

Black Mage

Recognize that skill chains are not happening and then no bursts. They are looking at lowering the resistance rate of skill chains. Also additions to transportations.

Red Mage

Considering magic to allow RDM to move up to front lines.

Thief

New Job Ability: Accomplice - Steal half of a party member's current emnity.

Paladin

Considering a reflect spell to reflect damage.

Dark Knight

Design concept was attacker with magic. More DRK specific spells for use in battle.

Beastmaster

Several new things. 1. Amount of HP with wait will be Greatly increased. 2. New pet command - Snarl - jug pet only order a pet to take all master enmity. A provoke for pets. 3. New pet food to cure all status aliments and lowering recast on reward.

Bard

New songs and abilities. Command to select a single target for a song. Make bard busier by increasing number of casts.

Ranger

New ability - Velocity Chuck - ranged attacks will be faster and more powerful and melee will be less powerful.

Samurai

Concept is profession able to build TP. Recent additions made SAM too powerful. There will be some adjustments. Additions may include ability to improve skillchains - such as making them faster or reducing resistance to skill chains.

Ninja

Possible new ninjitsu with sneak effect. Possible new ability which temporarily reduces enmity and then restores it to previous amount.

Dragoon

Increase number of actions wyvern takes in battle.

Summoner

New ability. Restore MP by elemental spirits. Ability may also be tied to days of the week and weather. There will be another announcement on SMN later tonight.

Blue Mage

New monster spells (in 2008).

Corsair

New rolls for 2 new jobs (in 2008). Add effect to quick draw where they can charge it like the scholars.

Puppetmaster

Considering new attachments and adjustments to existing ones. New automaton weapon skills.

Adjustments will be from the start and be ongoing after WotG comes out.
They will be making further (implied downward) adjustments to the 2-handed changes.

Another source, with different wording on some. Different description on some as well. http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2007/111607b.html

WTF IS THIS????

[Conrad]

RDM, THF, DRK, SAM, NIN, DRG things seem really useless to me.

Otherwise, the job changes look awesome.

I would assume this might be for early level tanking? Maybe so Dual tanking is more effective maybe.

[Spira]

It seems like BST is the one they're gonna make into a new semi-tank.

oh.. and I cant wait for more SMN announcements..

probably new avatar.

Something to help claims? uh provoke
Counter? cool
Can already use boomberangs/provoke
mmmm, war tanking


Sounds almost like another ability similar to provoke, like taunt.

[Demonsparta]

Killing myself.

[Akiyama]

Killing myself.

[Zeratu]

Ninja

Possible new ninjitsu with sneak effect. Possible new ability which temporarily reduces enmity and then restores it to previous amount.

WTF IS THIS????

Only thing I can think of is... to do with getting shadows back up, say your Ni timer is completely wrecked and you've got no shadows and no hope of getting Ichi up. Use Ability, hate shifts to another tank, get Ichi up, cancel ability, hate shifts back.

[Reij]

the rdm thing is useful. rdm melee ftw!
