Man, that'd be awesome. But I'm thinking the movement will be above 37 and the sneak thing below.

I'm inclined to think this also. SE can't be soooo amazing all at once...

ps - DNC was designed to have WAR/THF/NIN subs. Healing melee! O.O
 
1UP: One of the big concerns in the FFXI community -- and I don't know if you plan to announce anything to this effect -- but it's nice to have all these support jobs, but what we really are beginning to run out of are tanks. Sure you can make do with a lot of other, non-Paladin, non-Ninja jobs with a WAR sub if you want, but they're not really optimal as tanks...yet. How do you plan to address the tank shortage?

MG: I had to ask if it's OK to say this, but while there won't be a new job, we're going to make a major adjustment to an existing job so that it can be more of a tank type job. For now it's just one job. However, for example, during a battle with a NM or HNM battle, this job type might not be the best choice, or a complete tank type, but in most cases it will be effective as a tank.

1UP: I see. Will one of the lesser-used job classes be the one adjusted to become the new tank class?

MG: I don't think it's one of the least-popular jobs. It's a job with some popularity.

?!?!?


Samurai tanks in pt? or...?


1UP: Speaking of balance adjustments, do you plan to make any tweaks to the recently-tweaked 2-handed weapon damage? Certain jobs combinations, like SAM/THF are insane with the damage at the moment. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the damage is eye-opening.

MG: We'll be adjusting that with the upcoming patch that launches with the expansion.

Boo....more nerfs lol



1UP: So Sniper Rings will help. OK. With the ToAU jobs, they were hybrid jobs that adopted weapons that other jobs were more proficient with. Like PUP uses hand-to-hand, but his HTH rating isn't as high as a Monks. Same with Corsair and marksmanship, which pales next to a Ranger's. Will Scholar or Dancer have any unique or quested weapon skills? And which weapon classes are they best paired with?

MG: Dancer is going to be most proficient with a dagger, just like a Thief. So most of the weaponskills a Thief has will be used by the Dancer, and currently there are no special weaponskills just for the Dancer. As for the Scholar, it's kind of like the Black Mage, where they are not very good at any weapons because they're not designed as melee classes. So they won't have many weaponskills at all, and there won't be any one specific just for Scholar.

Well, they said their best weapon will be dagger, no one said they were going to be -the- best at it. Or even that good, either. :P

Not that it'd matter, seems all it's for is tp generation and paper cut dps.
 
Pretty gewd chit. Now to read that whole interview.

Seems like no AF for DNC and SCH @ release of WoTG, heh...might as well take my time leveling those new jobs.
 
Blu af and stuff took a while. Doubt Dnc and sch will have one anytime soon
