I wonder if there will be a main healing class. I thought to myself in the very beginning that I would play as a healer in this game but I don't really want to play as either a Conjurer or a Thaurmaturge trying to heal people. Doesn't sound plausible. Guess imma just go DD/TANK FTW!

You can be a main healer, you just have to focus your stats and abilities into it.

Apparently there are compiling penalties for overgeneralizing your abilities, every class will retain a good bit of its individuality despite being mix and matched into different custom classes. Main Healer will definitely be a viable option.

as they say...jack of all trades, master of none...

you can generalize your skills, but you'd be crap at all of em, or you can specialize, and be good at that thing

[nahla]

i just want to know which class will b the definitive healer~ i plan on being a healer as well till (crosses fingers) bard is released, if it ever is

Apparently, MSN/Bing is reading this post....

Musketeer is like markmanship in FFXI?

Thats word on the street anyway. Though according to 4gamer.net, only the jobs currently listed on the official site will be implemented on release. It's funny how they are like "18 classes!!!" but only 7 of them are combat. The other 11 are in DoH and DoL. QQ-kachu!

You think I can't kill a mob with a fishing pole?

Given half a chance I could kill a behemoth with a fucking sewing needle. O:< FUCK YEAH!!!

[ivera]

this whole extra job thing doesnt make sense to me, i dont get how they can make more with the same weapon, like if they were to make a SMN job, im pretty sure it would use a staff or wand, and even if it didnt i cant picture any other type of weapon for a mage, maybe a book but thats not SMN stuff. and for some reason i dont see them branching advanced jobs off of beginner jobs, so i dont know how thats gonna work

[Varizen]

Conjurers use Wands and Canes, Thaumaturges use Scepters and some sort of fancy names staff. So you can have weapons from the same type if you use variations within the field. Or you could do something like say Summoners use Bells. Or Batons.

Woohoo new jobs and weapons..!

No scythes...

Keep in mind around half of those are crafters.

Also yeah, I'm figuring Darkarts is Ninjutsu and will be similar to NIN. Also thinking Arcanist will be the Scythe class.

I seriously hope that is true.. and I also hope it's not some kind of mage that will do shit damage using physical attacks.. u.u

Could potentially use whips and chains (ref. Rydia, FFIV)

Also... Needs a collage of -Kaine-'s emotes! ! !

I really hope the maces of enforcers will actually be hammers
but I doubt SE would do something as cool as warhammers

[Avarghaladion]

I really want warhammers too ; ; And they better frickin have hammers. Its ma favourite <3

[Varizen]

Arcanist don't have Scythes. That was my original speculation, but it turns out they have some sort of unrevealed class of magical rifles... or something... I can't describe what the hell it looks like. And I didn't think to take an SS when I could.

Where'd ya get the chart?

Meanwhile, Flayer and some of the new classes seem interesting and some are unexpected like Bard and Samurai.

Shepherd is supposed to be the beastmaster by name.
