Another new job Announced! Machinist!

Gun job is DPS. Can add attachments to guns or to robot-buddy who acts as a turret.

No base class. Pure job.

This might be my new favorite job in 3.0. xD

So a little bit like Puppeteer? The attachments can maybe buff, debuff, etc?

Musketeer is dead. RIP.

Would be interesting if the "attachments" augmented the effects of the gun such as "spread attack" "single target focus" and "debuffs" much like the two poisons of NIN except more involved than just effecting two abilities.

There weren't details beyond the base stuff, but the speculation is certainly possible. Maybe even the turret machine pets acting in such a way as well. Intriguing.

I agree with those that say this sounds vaguely like puppetmaster, particularly if you can add upgrades/attachments to your weapon and pet. I'm very much looking forward to this one.

They basically split the COR job from FFXI between Machinist and Astrologist. The machinist having the gun, and Astro having the cards. Still, Machinist is very similar to Pupeteer, too.

Just to clarify, the attachments are ability oriented and apply to gun.
