Healing Gunner Planned?

All I can say is this:

I don't care what it is, THANK YOU (finally after 4 years of waiting) FOR GIVING ME MY GUNNER!!! :D

We know he hinted at guns. It could be agent and I could see why people could think it's likely. I just think that it's a cop out, and I'd rather have another job. Just my opinion.

If it is an agent class it won't be like that character other than using guns and I am sure of that since that characters skill set would not work well in an MMO.

So it's even more obscure then. It just seems silly to base anything off of that. I hope we get something different, but who knows?

Im hoping for ranger. Been getting reaquainted with it in xi and its delicious 90% recylcle.

Nope!

Played 3,4,5,7,8,9,10,13. In fact I hated the combat system waaaaaay too slow in FFXI that I didnt play it for very long.

So what's it like being totally wrong about me?

Also, where did I mention DRK? Ooops, I didn't it, only you did, which means I wasn't talking specifically about DRK. It was a generalised statemant which covers all jobs that arent the same as there FFXI counterparts and players complaining that they aren't.

Ninja is not part of the expansion, I think they will add more then 2 jobs in an expansion. I would expect one of each so there is still room for dps with a healer to be hinted at next. A shooting healer doesn't make much sense to me.

Still a gun healer tho :P

The people saying DRG uses heavy armor are incorrect. Armor has 4 types, not 3.

Cloth, Light, Medium, Heavy

Cloth: provides little protection (WHM BLM tend to use it) its physical defensive attributes are lower than the rest normally.

Light armor: tends to be leather-like. (BRD MNK and likely NIN) will use that one higher defense than cloth but lower than the rest.

Medium armor: tends to be suff like chain mail. Heavier stuff like the Templar set. (DRG mostly make use of it, defenses are too low for tanks to use even RDM used this in some FF titles) Higher than Cloth and light armor, lower than heavy armor.

Heavy armor: is used by tanks and is mostly Plate in design (useable by PLD WAR and DRKs in many other FF titles.)

Ingame armor for FFXIV, even FFXI its clear as see in BOTH games. Check ilv90 DRG gear vs ilv 90 tank gear... there is quite the difference in physical def. Ilv90 PLD/WAR body gear 158 def... DRG 110 and all share that scale.

They originally said they were going to do two DPS, (one of which would be ranged), a new tank, and a new healer. Either way, we'll find out December 20th.
