Hahahaha NO.

I've never liked the "Bard" playstyle, I avoided them in XI because I don't enjoy supporting... Ranger however, was insanely fun for me and considering there's no other Archery "JOB" in this game, I was forced to play a Bard.

So yea... if Musk is pure range damage that's cool, unfortunately I prefer bows over guns but I'll let that slide if it's a pure damage class.

Each job will retain the weapon of their class i believe. So if bard gets ranger, it will probably (to my own relief) be a bow-wielding class.

That said I just had an idea pop into my head today.

What if, bother Musketeer and Archer, get Ranger as one of their job options.

An Archer (30) Musketeer (15) becomes a Ranger but has Archer skills as core, picking up musketeer cross class skills.
While a Musketeer (30) Archer (15) also becomes a Ranger but with Musketeer skills as core, picking up archer cross class skills.

While an Archer and Musketeer will probably play differently, the Ranger job can be designed such that the 5 Ranger skills benefit both Archer and Musketeer.

And in the game, Rangers will be the masters of long ranged physical damage. The wear the same Ranger Artifact Armor, but some would be using Bows while other use guns.

However, there are still other options for Musketeer other than Corsair such as the Gunner and Machinist Jobs which are Jobs known to use guns as their main weapon.

Ranger will most likely go to Archer for 2nd Job due to Ranger's origins in the FF series being a Archer type class and how Archer class has already one of Ranger's Iconic skills being Barrage. Not only that but Ranger Job is known to be more DD focused version of Archer in the FF series which makes it more ideal to go with Archer class in FF14 since it focus more on improving Archer's bowmastery.
