Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail Pictomancer Job Features
The Pictomancer job will have some buffs and party support, but while it will not be as attack-focused as the Black Mage, it is not a true support job, and will not have a resurrection ability like the Red Mage or Summoner. It will use a mixture of instant abilities and spells with cast times. Krile uses this new job inFinal Fantasy 14’s Duty Support system, and also showed off some of their beautiful abilities in the extendedDawntrailtrailer.
Though Pictomancer is the final regular job being introduced inDawntrail,Final Fantasy 14revealed the Beastmaster is coming some time after the expansion’s release. This new class will be a limited job, similar in function to Blue Mage, meaning it can’t be used in all the game’s content, but will have other unique gameplay mechanics, possibly involving capturing various monsters. Players can expect to learn more about this mysterious job and otherupcoming features some time afterDawntrail’s release.
