We NEED a "Gunblade" job, a sword-wielding DPS job is long over-do...

I can see it being like an inverse of red mage. Have it be melee focused jumping back to fire a couple shots and then charge right back into melee.

They literally just added two sword wielding dps though? Tachi literally means sword. Well good luck anyways.

A gunblade job can be a tank. Magitek Knight or Centurion. A class that allows us to fight as the armored bosses we've encountered as part of the Garlean Empire. Nero and other skilled Gunblade users have a notable style when they're swinging their gunblade around that's different from gladiators. They've also are notably harder to kill. Maybe that's the next expansion's tank-class?

The next xpac better be a healer and tank job... All I have to say on the matter.

Look at the post date, this is a necro thread. :)

I was thinking that the gunblade class could be used to bring Blue Mage into the game. They would primarily be a melee fighter but have the ability to make special bullets from monster parts. They would use debuffs as bullets and the party/raid utility could be grenade type skills.

It only makes sense to add gunblade's within the game as a sword-wielding DPS that uses the advantage of the sword and gun's attack range. Maybe even have a gunblade that works like Squall's where the blade explodes upon impact when the trigger is pulled, causing more damage.

Who else agree's with me as well that a gunblade DPS job should be put within the game?! Like and/or comment below on your thoughts/opinions on the subject at hand. Thank you! =D

Sword-wielding DPS job is long overdue? I guess Samurai and Red Mage don't have swords and/or are DPS...

The other guy had an excuse but in this very page it was stated this is a necro. Unless you want to say Samurai and Red Mage we're already playable jobs in January of 2015.

bruh, you quoted a post from 2015

i have seen a few paladins with no shield at all. im not sure if its a glamour though, for i have yet to encounter such an item. they are probably just players whom dont have shields at all, but i cant say for sure.

either way, easiest option is to just have a "hide secondary" setting specifically for Gladiators and Paladins.

personally, a duel wielding tank would be interesting that can equip more than one weapon.

The Garo Shield is invisible. :)

If the only pull behind tanking is getting to use a sword, tanking needs to be done better in game. Besides, making every tank a sword wielder makes them all samey. 2/3 of our tanks are sword based and 3/3 are slashing based. Hammer tank would be nice.

Looks like Gunblade would be a tank job, seeing as Gaius, Nero, and Fordola were all tank type characters. We're good on DPS for an expansion or two

Wow, i made this post years ago. lol, nice to see that the gunblade love is still there. I wouldn't mind if we had a gunblade tank, would work either way for me. Just as long as it's implemented in 5.0 or something then i'm happy. :D
