No need to quote yourself. I love these abilities. Btw, after reading these posts, I'm down with adding a ton of new content if atall possible. New jobs, abilities, areas, quests, missions (Expansions can only add missions, I know.), endgame event areas, all the things that keeps making an MMO a bigger and better world.

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.

venom is just a strong poison

i like how you thought out some names for the abilities and gave out descriptions too. i was too lazy to do it myself. two types of gunblades seems rather interesting, would dual wielding gunblades give you double trigger?

i think you and i will always disagree with the name of the job =p. perhaps GBS and ENG should be made

[TearValerin]

That still sounds like it would step on the feet of BRD and COR. It basically uses the visceral points of a brd/cor, while remaining another dime a dozen melee DD. These jobs are already fairly uncommonly played these days, it would only further their extinction. Furthermore, how can you expect this job to do anything without a party with the crazy low evasion, parry, and shield you've given it? Parry is far too difficult to level, and even then it hardly makes a difference. Is this job going to wear heavy armor and absorb damage like a sponge? Because then you would be stepping in PLD territory, and they are having a hard enough time trying to get things done as is, (they can do sword shield and 2h weapon as well, supporting, healing, and tanking etc.) What you need to do is flesh out the material so it becomes unique in its own sense rather than being just another dime a dozen DD trying to find a place to fit in, as being a jack of all trades but a master of none makes you nothing more than another PUP. What I'm trying to say is, this job sounds awful.

Oh my god... what is the obsession with gun blades?

[Amanie]

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.

I'm not sure, but these boards seem to have a HUGE love for FF8 and Squall...

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