If we get a pure Garlean job class...

Now if you are talking about Livia's weapons, I am down for that.

Gunbreakers do not use Garlean gunblades. Garleans have swords (and shields, lances, fists) that are also guns. Gunbreaker blades are straight from FFVIII and don’t have a barrel or bullets. The trigger activates an aether-charged cartridge loaded in the gun that does a magic effect or rumbles the blade. It’s also evident they’re different weapons entirely when you use your ranged attack to swing lightning at the enemy instead of shooting a bullet.

Considering Yoshi-P made fun of Garlean weapons in an interview and called them “bayonets”, I don’t think a job that uses them is likely. He said the only reason they exist is because he wasn’t involved with 1.0.

An opinion from ages past, but since the Garleans can't use magic, specially after Endwalker it could be reasonable to have a non-magic based healer in the form of Chemist... They probably would've had some kind of medics in their armies for when they didn't have other races to use healing magic for them.

Funnily enough I posted a full Chemist concept about a year ago and a lot of it ended up in Sage, like Eukrasia (which would have been mixing potions to get different healing skills, though mine was more along the lines of old AST being able to do anything, inagine two different Eukrasia skills, ones adds a regen and the other adds a shield)

So Sage could very easily have been Chemist.

Frankly I'm happy with what we got. There are some magitek nouliths from vendors and tower of Babil, just imagine that the lasers are magiTEK rather than magiCAL.

The name you're looking for is Engineer, Garlean Engineer Tank.

Are machinists using Magitek?

According to the encyclopedia, machinists use a combination of Garlean magitek and Ishgardian craftsmanship adapted for use for people who can manipulate aether. The aetherotransformer (lunchbox) converts the user's aether to be used for powering the machines they use as well as to power and enhance their guns. Without the ability to use aether, they'd just be "some guy with a gun".
