Gunblade Specialist

[Alkalinehoe]

i got a sudden flash of ideas. we can give the great gunblade high dmg and decent delay. plus the trigger JA lets you hit the monster from distance and you get tp out of it as well as the dmg boost. then at a later lvl we give the job a high trigger JA that pretty much does the same thing but better. oh and gunblades can deal both slashing and piercing dmg. oh and if we go with engineer, we can give them a dragon. a real big one, not a flimsy one, and since its an engineer, it would be a mechanical dragon.

Ok, now I know you're trolling all of us.

well if you arent going to give out suggestion on this job, which i made for fun....... clearly ppl want new jobs, theres a bunch of discussions about it, so this is one i want and made ideas for.

yes these job threads come out in all the other FFXI forums spread across the internet, but this forum was made and is read by SE. how will SE see my idea if its not out there?

if you arent here to have fun with this job, you should go somewhere else

I do not think someone having an idea makes it necessarily a good idea. I have mentioned plenty of flaws in my earlier posts of why Ithink this idea is not well thought out.

mentioning flaws isnt very constructive. why dont you give me your ideas on what to add to the job. or better yet, take the time and make your version of it.

It's incredibly constructive.... For the same reason you would ask a peer to read through an essay to correct your mistakes before turning it in.

Au contraire, it is called constructive criticism, if you cannot handle it, dont post ideas. My points are plenty valid in finding flaws in your idea that need to be addressed in order to make it worthwhile.

Constructive criticism involves some form of solution presenting. Criticism without giving a possible solution aren't constructive, that's why criticism doesn't have constructive in it's definition and needs the adjective "constructive" put in front of it, to make it so.

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

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!!

GunBlade hmmm... thats from FF13 lol

GunBlade hmmm... thats from FF13 lol

you gave me another idea that can tacked onto the whole 1hand gunblade 2hand gunblade. the 2handed version will deal extra dmg with the ammo/trigger much like from 8. and the 1handed version will do a range attack with ammo/trigger like in 13

[Amanie]

and since im in super silly mood now

1hand version = gunblade
2hand version = shotgunblade
