With the new expansion coming and an alleged re-work of existing jobs on the horizon (after the extremely successful start to the rework of combat encounters in Dawntrail that produced some of the best fights in the history of the game) I'm expecting big changes in 8.0, in addition to 1-2 completely new jobs.

But what will those changes be? No idea. What do I *want*? Well, that's a thread.

First, we need a new physical ranged DPS. There are six melee and four of each other job category, but only three ranged.

I have very little opinion here; whatever they do will be silly. I think "fun" choices would be chemist (throw bombs and potions) or some kind of red mage-style hybrid melee/ranged swashbuckler type - the thing I thought we were getting instead of Viper.

@tess this one I have a hard time with. BRD buffs 8, DNC buffs 1, and MCH buffs 0, with some mit as a treat. So would the fee for a new prange be Chemist as "buffs 0, with some healing as a treat"? Some kind of debuff vomit knife thrower? Actually, an Allagan Studies type putting Acceleration Bomb on a boss could be cool... Abilities that Do Stuff triggered by enemy actions... 🤔
