With the reveal of Pictomancer , what can we have a bun in the oven it to bring to the casting table ?
The Japan fanfest keynote revealed the young Caster job forDawntrail – Pictomancer , which mixes aether with paint to create familiars to press . Now that Krile is taking up Pictomancer and the job is coming to us in the summertime , what can we predict about How Pictomancer differs from FFXIV ’s other casting task using the information in the keynote ?
Pictomancer and its place in the Caster lineup
Each of the existing Casters has a unique playstyle regarding casting time . Black Mage is ill-famed for its foresighted casts , Summoner is full of instant casts , and Red Mage rotate redact and instantaneous molding . Pictomancer ’s playstyle descriptionappears to mix Black Mage and Summoner .
The sketching coming to life rent a while , but in the meantime , Pictomancer is full of instant - mold spells . This presumably meansPictomancer ’s paint familiar make up its burst legal injury phase , like to Summoner ’s summon phase .
The most unique part of Pictomancer ’s playstyle comes from the credit of the job being reenforcement - based . presently , Summoner and Red Mage are the most support - orient of the Casters . Both can resurrect players , heal , and buff the entire party . However , none of the Casters have any party support beyond this . This has lead many to speculate that Pictomancer will be the Dancer of the Casters . Dancer and its older full cousin Bard are some of the most supportive stateless person in the total lineup . Each gift the party multiple level of price buffing and in Dancer ’s case , even shielding and healing . This leaves the possibility receptive for Pictomancer , especially in lightness of Astrologian ’s simplification from Shadowbringers onward .

Perhaps Pictomancer will allow for critical hits or speeding raw sienna , or shielding the party like Machinist can do , all things other Casters are not up to of at the moment . We ’ll have to wait for further details , but when it come to how Pictomancer differs from FFXIV ’s other cast jobs , we can reasonably expect Pictomancer to occupy that support corner none of the other Casters full agree into .
Of course , in my completely professional ruling , it will be hard to top the documentary better Caster , Summoner . But I am certainly looking forward to wielding a paintbrush .
When Dawntrail liberate , Pictomancer will be available in Gridania at floor 80 , using brushes as their weapon of choice .
Take a trip down memory lane , to theLondon Fanfest reveal of FFXIV Viper job for Dawntrail .
