New Classes and partying.

[Prons]

Hi folks, I'm part of the "coming back to FFXI because of expansion pack," crowd, and I know it's a little early, but what roles are the two new classes? Is Dancer a debuffer, and what role does scholar have?

sorry for noob question. PS are Dancer and Scholar baisc or jobs or advanced only jobs?

Re: New Classes and partying.

Dancers are front-line healers that can both benefit the party and enfeeble monsters. Not only are they competent fighters, but the TP they accumulate is used to power their various abilities. They execute Dances to heal and create beneficial effects, and perform Steps to inflict negative effects upon the enemy. A touch of customization is added with Flourish, which allows a step to be completed with a variety of bonuses to aid the Dancer and their comrades.

Scholars are not technically mages, but tacticians that use a variety of abilities to skillfully manipulate their library of magic in new ways. Using massive tomes, known as "Grimoire," a Scholar can unlock a number skills and spells unique to the job. The foundation of a Scholar is comprised of the "White Grimoire" and "Black Grimoire," two abilities that are used to enhance White Magic and Black Magic respectively. There is no time limit to these abilities, so a player can freely switch between White Mage mode and Black Mage mode as the battle progresses.
