Oh wow. I had forgotten to continue on the little WOTG job speculations and today.. what do I see? That maybe, just just maybe, a new job is gonna be dancer! Yay!
Maybe this isn't dancer after all but let's imagine!
This is like the only job out of the four so far (Time Mage, Mystic Knight, Geomancer) that I think will be useful. Sure the other three jobs will be fun and cool but ... yeah you can just check what I feel about them in their respective posts.
Now, back when they started speculating new jobs and someone brought up dancer I was like ... huh... what the heck can a dancer do that is even remotely useful? Then again, I guess the cute factor will be like a major pull.......
I have no idea what dancer might turn out to be IF it is implemented as a new job, but I would imagine that a dancer would make a good buffing / debuffing job. Much like what Bard is at the moment.
It would not be impossible to imagine dancer as a DD class as well but I just think buffing / debuffing seems more likely. If dancer is a DD, I would imagine that it might have dances related to weapons equipped. Dances would be learnt (or maybe even created as job abilities though I think that is less likely) like bard songs.
Of course, if dancer were a DD, it'd just become another job LFP long time. If Dancer became a buffing / debuffing job, then depending on the abilities given to dancers, they may give bards a run for their money or just totally tank (and I don't mean tank like a paladin).
Talking about tanking dancer..... what if they are the new tank job?? Some nutty enmity dance or something lol. Well, it's unlikely that dancer, if made a tank class, will be able to tank like a paladin as paladins wear really heavy armour and that obviously makes it hard to dance. So maybe evasion tanking? Like... dancing out of the way of the mob when the mob attacks?
Anyways..... I don't think Dancer , if added, will be a really ground breaking concept. More likely a rehash of stuff we already have but hopefully with more eye candy!
