Gunblade Specialist

[Amanie]

everyone is making threads on jobs they want, so heres another

GBS Gunblade Specialist
i had posted an idea for an expansion(s) to open the rest of the world to adventuring. i hinted that the far west continent was purposely isolated by technology and magic. leaving the opportunity for gunblades to be created.

with that said im just thinking out loud that GBD will be a 2hand weapon supportive DD that can enfeeble monsters with JA (like steps) that use up MP. GBD would also introduce the new weapon known as gunblades. in addition to the new weapon class, gunblades can be enhanced with new consumable ammo. the ammo would have unique stats like additional dmg/ double att/ element dmg / etc

Combat Skill Ranks:
Gunblade - A
Greatsword - B-
Sword - C
Dagger - D

Defensive Skill Ranks:
Evasion - D
Parry - B

Job Traits:
Level 20 - attack bonus
Level 30 - accuracy bonus
Level 45 - attack bonus 2
Level 60 - accuracy bonus 2
Level 90 - attack bonus 3

Job Abilities:
Level 5 - junction - blind
Level 10 - junction - attack down
Level 15 - draw - hp / junction - paralyze
Level 20 - charge - accuracy up / junction - bind
Level 25 - junction - slow
Level 30 - draw - mp / charge - crit dmg up / junction - silence
Level 35 - junction - def down
Level 40 - charge - attack up / junction - gravity
Level 45 - draw - tp / junction - venom
Level 50 - charge - defense up / junction - stun
Level 55 - junction - dispel
Level 60 - draw - defense / charge - accelerate / junction - MAB down
Level 65 - junction - TP down
Level 70 - charge - Matt / junction - crit hit eva down
Level 75 - draw - status / junction - attribute down
Level 76+ draw - traits / charge - aura, subtle blow, junction - petrify, resist down, confuse

junction - adds en-effect to your next melee attack at the cost of mp. duration dependent on stats and junction used. 25sec recast.

draw - expend ammo to use monster as a "battery". potency dependent on stats. recast dependent on draw command used.

charge - use mp to buff up players within aoe (warcry, roll) duration dependent on charge used. 45sec recast

guess you can say this is mixture of dnc,nin,drk,cor. gunblades will be like great katanas. the extra power of the gunblade will come from its ammo.

begin the criticism and/or editing!!

Now. Is the gunblade a 1 hand, 2 handed, or ranged weapon?(I don't think it should take the ranged slot.
And thre's plenty of bullets, so not realy a need for any new ammo. Though, some Gunblade only bullets would be nice. Elemental ones perhaps?

I support this job idea.

Very interesting, Only problem I see "Gunblade" is a Weapon and Does not really make much sense "To me" as calling it a "Job" even w/ putting Specialist behind it. I totally understand where your going with this and seem pretty cool, I think there would be a better name to call said. "Job" would be like calling Warrior "Great Axe Specialist" and so on, but nice Idea. ^^

i thought about it and concluded that gunblades are 2handed. dual gunblades would be sweet, im bothered by gunblade + shield =p.

i figure that gunblades will have a ammo stat added to them that will expend bullets to get the added effect. gunblade only ammo would also be fun to use. perhaps when the trigger effect procs you get a dmg/tp boost for that att at the expense of ammo. much like virtue stones.

unlike ranger or cor, not having ammo wont kill your damage

As am I...

I love every part of your idea except 1: the name. Don't ask me what a good name is, but going by the games that had gunblades, SeeD and Soldier seem to be what the names of those were.

[Amanie]

well gunblade specialist was the actual name of the job(said so at the SeeD graduation) so i used that.

Gunblader as an alternative?

Leave out the "er." It should simply be gunblade. All the weapons will have different names anyway.

Just throwing this idea out there. A Machinist job that wields gunblades (yes plural) because Machinist is more of a traps and devices jobs. I think giving such a class a 1h gunblade would work and it would be different enough to warrant a new job.
