Warrior
Ability that creates a benefit to WAR for claims. Something like a MNK counter that also stores TP. Used to help pulling. Instead of creating a new tank job, trying to imporove existing tanks.
Monk
Concept for MNK is to reduce TP given. Possibly adding something to Kicks - either a weapon skill or a battle stance that slows (kick?) attack speed and increases potency.
White Mage
At the time of the new expansion - new spell called Repose - a sleep spell. Also effective with scholar sub. Also want to add more teleport spells.
Black Mage
Recognize that skill chains are not happening and then no bursts. They are looking at lowering the resistance rate of skill chains in order to promote magic bursts. Also additions to transportations.
Red Mage
Considering magic to allow RDM to move up to front lines.
Thief
New JA "Accomplice" - it will steal a PT enmity and transfer to himself. Used with perfect dodge or to help a mage in troble.
Paladin
Considering a reflect spell to reflect damage from attacks blocked by shields.
Dark Knight
Design concept was attacker with magic. More dark magic specific spells for use in battle.
Beastmaster
Several new things. 1. Amount of HP with wait will be Greatly increased. 2. New pet command - Snarl - jug pet only order a pet to take all master enmity. A provoke for pets. 3. New pet food to cure all status aliments and loweing recast on reward.
Bard
New songs and abilities. Command to select a single target for a song. Make bard busier by increasing numbr of casts.
Ranger
New ability - Velocity Shot - ranged attacks will be faster and more powerful and mele will be less powerful.
Samurai
Concept is profession able to build TP. Recent additions made SAM too powerful. There will be some adjustments. Additions may include ability to improve skillchains - such as making them faster or reducing resistance to skill chains.
Ninja
Possible new ninjitsu with sneak effect. Possible new ability which temporarily rduces enmity and then restores it to previous amonunt.
Dragoon
Increase number of actions wyvern takes in battle.
Summoner
New ability. Restore MP by elemental spirits. Ability may also be tied to days of the week and weather. There will be another annoucement on SMN later tonight.
Blue Mage
New monster spells.
Corsair
New rolls for 2 new jobs. Add effect to quick draw where they can charge it like the scholars.
Puppetmaster
Considering new attachments and adjustments to existing ones. New automaton weapon skills.
Thats it for job adjustments.

No, this information is correct. If you would like to see it on another site, check out 1up.

Rumor has it the SMN announcement is new avatars (yes plural)

Glad to see SE realizes BRDs have become a bit slack in their true duties to a party, they've been needing to be able to convert AoE to Single target for a long while. While I'd like something similar for COR, I'll gladly accept the ability go charge mah Quick Draw lazer.

BST pet Voke, Nice. More HP regen even better.

The info is correct. I am uploading video of it and will post when its done. Just got back from fan fest myself.

By the way, they also said that will re-adjust again 2handed weapons. Which received a lot of boos and the devs kept apologizing and bowing when they said that. :p

Re: Job adjustments for expansion.

They said a new SMN announcement later tonight, but that never came....

I wonder what it is, if they just said there wouldn't be more avatars.

._.

Re: Job adjustments for expansion.

I wonder if Velocity shot is going to be like Hasso or if it's going to be one of those 3-5 minute timer job abilities. The way the description is, it sounds like it's going to be Hasso. It's about time we get Haste and I hope the RATK is a huge bonus.

Re: Job adjustments for expansion.

God damn it, just when using 2 handed weapons was becoming normal.

I swear they better not go too far.

They never said no new avatars. actually quite the contrary. they said there will be new avatarS in one of the upcoming updates.

Re: Job adjustments for expansion.

Come on Alexander! XD

Seriously though as much as I like having new summons, SE can add all the avatars they want and it still won't fix SMN. How about addressing the core issues of the job first!

The question is, will they be available for summoning? If so, how many?

[Omniblast]

Re: Job adjustments for expansion.

It was emphasized as "Avatar(s)" plural, but not specifically 2.

[Pai Pai Master]

Re: Job adjustments for expansion.

Oh, ha. I read that as "no plans to introduce new avatars" for some reason.

Well, goodie!
