Puh-zing.
Wtf are they going to do with a Dancer job? Is it really not covered by bard already?
Ofcourse, I still think TimeMage is just retarded, too. All "time" spells are already covered. They're gonna have to massively overhaul these jobs to make them different.

Actually, most 'time' spells aren't covered by Rdm, only haste, slow, slow II, gravity and bind. And the only one of those spells that in any way shape or form would conflict with Time Mage getting the same spells(as whm has most of them already) is Slow II. And not because of the actual effects of the spell, but because of the way Rdm gets the spell. It wouldn't be fair for Time Mage to get it via scroll while Rdm still obtained it through merits. But that's something that could easily be changed.

And traditionaly, Dancer has always been the opposite of Brd, a DD/Debuffer. As is now, Brd gets no real DD spells or abilities and focuses mainly on boosting the party's strengths while having some effective debuffs. With dancer all they'd need to do is give it some melee efficiancy with some unique debuffs and DD dmg dances.

And I think the third new job will be Geomancer.

What if Dancer can draw enough mob's attention and become a Tank class? Like dances that spike hate (mob's attention) and dances that evade mob's attacks...

Hey now, even tho it should be understood without saying. As of late we need Captain Obvious so that everyone understands.

FFXI needs a "third" tank.

We've been asking for too long. They gonna give it to us, Dancer or not.

I wonder if a Geomancer could become a tank...

FFXI needs a "third" tank.

we've got half a dozen tanks. It's just that NOBODY TANKS WITH THEM.


That's the problem with tanks, there's only so many roads you can go down before it's just "ok, they both tank the same way, which one is better at it?". And that's about two roads.

It's funny how people keep saying the last thing we need is another support class and yet I can't find a single brd, rdm or cor to fill out my party.

Someone in my LS last night was going nuts about the fact they were adding the job and how stupid it sounded. I suggested he simply choose to not play it.

Re: Dancer new FFXI job? (attn Jei or any Japanese readers)

Simply adding another job that does X does not mean there will be more of X around. Most people who don't want to play support, tank or heal will not play jobs that are support, tanks or healers no matter how many different types you add.

Case in point - It was hard to find support jobs pre-ToAU. They add a support job class, so there are now 3. Result = It is hard to find support jobs post-ToAU.
