Honestly, my general read on requested jobs is that people are pretty good on DoW jobs since the only realistic, not-nitpicky requests there are things already teased like Beastmaster. Meanwhile there's a good handful of distinctly different caster/healer jobs that get requested pretty often. Maybe that's just because we haven't had a magic DPS job especially for a while, but I even saw it before Endwalker. I do kinda read the Green Mages as people who want to request a magic job but are trying to look smart by avoiding the magic jobs everyone else is requesting.

I guess when I think about it broadly, we're "owed" a new magic DPS even if you count BLU, which GEO would fix most comfortably in. I'm willing to cop to my own biases on that one, though. I'd really like to see another job fill in to the scouting role, but since it's still considered a melee DPS I don't think we'd get two melees in a row. And if you think of it that way, there's one less ranged DPS than everything else. So we'd get.... another ranged? Or maybe even just one new job this expac? Those'd probably really affect the queues badly if it was only a DPS job, though... I dunno! Just idle thoughts I guess. I've been playing Black Mage a lot lately, so I think if it stays mostly the same going into 7.0 I'd keep playing it in raid, but it'd be interesting to try out Geomancer if it's fun too, especially if it shared gearing priority with BLM like how RDM and SMN share the exact same gear.

I think they should do a caster and a ranged that uses scouting gear. There's not REALLY any reason why that wouldn't work and it would make everything neat and tidy.

Zeruel posted:this might sound hosed up, but are retainers people? or is it a dragons dogma pawn thing?  Yes, there's retainers in-world employed by adventurers and such, they just understandably don't really factor into the story much. The retainers in 1.0 had a list of names for all the different race/sex combinations, and that list of names was widely reused for 2.0+ NPCs. While it's not really made all that explicit that any of them are meant to be former retainers, there's some notable names on it: Gegeruju, for one. quote:A member of the Dunesfolk, the only thing more mysterious than this Lalafell plutocrat is how he obtained his money. All of Edda's party save herself were also 1.0 retainers. Masha Mhakaracca of the Songbirds (also Nashu's sister) was another, as well as Cemi Jinjahl of the Stormblood stretch of Carpenter's quests (though, given she's supposed to be 17, it's perhaps less likely she's meant to be one and the same). Even Emmanellain (lol) and M'naago were on the list. biceps crimes posted:i kind of wish thief was its own job instead of turning into ninja. feels like it could be its own distinct thing and exist simultaneously with ninja

The change they made to networking in 6.3 puts significant extra stress on the servers and the vast majority of problems people were having that forced the rollback were occurring on the NA servers. The NA servers probably have the highest population per server ratio and it makes sense to upgrade them first anyway (running under the assumption the oldest NA and JP servers are on similar hardware).

You could debatably say that tracks for Thief, too, since we don't exactly have any other jobs that are literally named after crimes. People argue there could be a 'good necromancer' because we have DRK and RPR, but c'mon, how is someone going to raise a zombie in a way that doesn't gently caress up their karmic balance?

Yeah, basically raising the dead is by nature not guchi in the setting at hand. Mostly for corpse desecration reasons (since Necromancy is as often just putting a voidsent into a corpse as it is attempting to put the original soul in).

Give us Physician as a melee attacking healer whose attacks generate resources for Mix, similar to NIN's mudra or MNK's beast chakra. Make Severian hate the job mentor for comedy.

There's a webnovel I read, Unliving (though I'm currently behind), that doesn't immediately make necromancy evil in an interesting way. At the start, there's three countries on the continent that use necromancy. Two are led by quite clearly evil leaders, but the third is not. He treats the living with compassion, and both he and his people treat the dead with respect. It's quite fun to read, with the MC being a new type of undead that manages to keep her soul and sentience without becoming a Lich. That said, it's 100% a cultural thing, and this approach doesn't work on Eitherys. Undead are definitely not around for good reasons here, outside of the Gentlemanly Undead.

Yes, especially the plush cushion Just have the job use the Lord of Verminion abilities except they affect normal enemies. Your minion deck is the blue mage spellbook equivalent. I forget if any dlc-only minions have incredibly broken Verminion abilities, so it's probably not pay to win?

I don't think Green Mage has enough cohesive identity to actually exist as a job, but I can get behind the general idea of them as a buff-focused hard support job.

There's not REALLY any reason why that wouldn't work and it would make everything neat and tidy. I guess my question would be why would they want to do that? Making things "neat and tidy" doesn't really do anything when ranged roles already have a gear classification for them.
