i hope its going to be more than just 2 new jobs...
i want to see also puppetmaster ripping of from pugilist.. as a petclass... and that you could customize your puppets like in FFXI.. that'd be awesome.
since summoner was a disappointment concerning a real pet class..
Gunner will be the new healer and SAM will be the new tank class! That will boost healers and tanks populations! Next DPS we'll get is Dark Knight.. With a SYTHE! Muahahaha
I'll admit Bounty Hunters were reliant on more than their guns to heal (they had healing drones and missiles that created a healing area for allies to stand in), but spamming their healing bullets was a key part of their design, since every time you healed someone with your bullets you got a stacking buff that increased healing done by your healing abilities. The buff could be consumed by certain abilities, too. Was a neat mechanic and was very fun. And this coming from someone who normally hates healing.
I think a Ranged tank would be possible, however you would have to keep the Mob in perment stun so you can jump back and range him. But yea don't know how they would do that in game.
Ranged tanks don't really tank at a distance. In both SWToR and Wildstar they are heavy armor classes that used guns but Don't necessarily tank from ranged.
Using guns is more for class flavor then changing mechanics.
Warden from LotRO is a awesome tank class. Medium armor and shield. Uses javelins for some ranged abilities but focuses on a spear. It also uses a gambit system that works something like the ninjas mudras. Replace the spear and javelins with a gun and we are off to a good start for a new tank class.
