(This is entirely made up, there is no Dancer in FFXI and there may NEVER be a Dancer in FFXI.)
Dancer's not my favorite Job ever, but I'd like to see it in this game eventually. I see it as a hybrid melee job. Here's my version:
Stats/Equips
HP is down there with WHM, other stats are similar to a Ninja's, though weaker at all levels, and with a Charisma boost. They can wear cloth and leather armor, and their tradmark Carpet weapons. Their AF Armor is straight out of FFT, but BLUE, like Celia's.
They can also equip instruments, allowing them to sub Bard. Hooray!
