Gunblade Specialist

We should add gunblade to FFXI wiki and see if anyone notices.

Make a fake image too, along with a category on the weapons page. That would be funny. Don't forget for jobs make it for level 1 MRC or ENG for mercenary or engineer.

Lol FF8 fanboyism. I really don't see them adding in anymore jobs this late into the games life.

Not like they have any otehr game to fall back on.

Not the biggest fan of Squall. It's the idea of a little taru or a huge galka throwing around a 2handed gunblade I think would be really fun.

its a big sword and a gun, thats the best weapon of all time. you can cut an arm off and then shoot them out of their misery.
too far to hit slash them up?? shoot them!!! its devil may cry to the 2nd power.

I would crap my pants in a good way if they made this job.

[KorPoni]

I've seen a few jobs that would make this game more interesting. No matter what you come up with, people will try to relate it to other jobs currently ingame now. Amanie, you like my trigger ability? It's a little something to match the ability to pull your trigger when you hit in ff8. I'd love something like that.

[Amanie]

well i was making the junction JA somewhat like the trigger JA you came up with.

i figure the "trigger" would be an additional effect put on the weapon that has a % rate and uses up gunblade ammo. like dmg boost, double attack, non/elemental dmg,

I'm almost tempted to make a wiki focusing on jobs people would like to see in ffxi. 20 jobs are nice, but when 99 becomes the cap, people will start becoming bored of the jobs we have. In various other final fantasy games, there's 30+ jobs, depending on which game you're speaking of.

Really? Other than the Tactics series, I can't recall a job with 30+ jobs. FFV had 22, never played III, but I have a feeling it's around the same. So.... There's a grand total of...3 games with 30+ jobs? That's certainly not a variety.

Oh, the ability I was speaking of would be a smaller scale type, like if your ammo was "Gunblade Ammo" it would add a slightly higher attack mod to your next attack. That wouldn't hurt your junction ability, just give a small constant effect you can spam.

Gunblade Ammo
(Ammo) All races
Adds a attack bonus to your attack when used.
Lv. 1 (MCH or ENG)

This ammo would add +10 attack to your next gunblade attack when used with trigger. But if you used junction, you could choose what it does. But ammo like this:

Darkness Ammo
(Ammo) All races
Adds blinding damage to your next attack when used.
Junction: Higher chance of blinding foe.
Lv. 5 (MCH or ENG)

It adds Attack+10 plus a 10% chance to blind when used with Trigger, but increases your chance to blind when used with Junction - Blind.

But, if you don't like status afflicting ammo, then could just have a bunch of ammo like this:

Shocking Ammo
(Ammo) All races.
Adds some thunder damage to your next attack when used.
Lv. 10 (MCH or ENG)

This would add Attack+10 and a +10% Thunder damage bonus. Also, it would have the same effect to junction as any basic ammo.

Tell me whatcha think amanie.

Sure. We'll go with that. Tactics shows the most similarity to ffxi of any other final fantasy, with attacks being melee or ranged, how far you are from your enemy compared to what you can use. Sorry, coulda sworn V had over 30, didn't bother checking because I know there were atleast 2.
