[Dev1075]Note to the Developers: Musketeers should not be limited to pistols.

The definition of a Musket includes long rifles.

A friend of mine, who is a bit of a firearms aficionado, made this distinction, and has expressed an interest in becoming a Musketeer.

However, she would be extremely disappointed - nay, she would be angry - if the Musketeer class focused only on pistols.

So, I implore the Developers to consider implementing a Long Rifle subjob for Musketeer that functions as a marksman class with abilities similar to "Called Shots" in other MMOs: in other words, guaranteed headshots, as well as other appropriate abilities that are fitting for a long range marksman.

Actually, if you consider the design of the pistol and rifles, and their applications; pistoleers have more speed but less power, and muskets have more power, but less speed.

So it would be dependent on the player's playstyle: Does the player want to be a fast, rapid-hitting musketeer (like a Pugilist), or does the player want to be a hard hitting, precise marksman (like a Marauder).

I ask of the Developers to take this into consideration with utmost urgency.

My friend will bite my head off if musketeer is restricted to only pistols. I wanna live, please.

Pistols primary, rifles secondary?

EDIT: Or just do it like Glads and give them 2 primaries.

Not to be a downer, but the icon for the Muskateer's Guild makes it fairly obvious that it's a pistol-based class. The devs aren't doing to redesign a class because one person wants it done a different way.

But the devs said they are redesigning all the classes from the ground up so who knows.

Muskateer hasn't even been released. Kind of hard to redesign something that never got out the door. Who knows when we will even see Muskateer.

2 primary weapons would be cool, after all didn't Musketeers in some countries also use rapiers and small swords along with muskets/rifles?

"The King's Musketeers became the first company, popularly known as "Grey Musketeers" (mousquetaires gris) from the color of their horses while the Cardinal's Musketeers became the second company, known as "Black Musketeers" (mousquetaires noirs) because they rode black horses."

Black chocobo mounts for Musketeers?! :P

Well, the OP and their friend seem to want something like this, and while we know what the real life musketeers were like, I'd prefer to keep the guys with fancy hats and rapiers associated with this. Consider it the fair compromise. >.>

And yes, musketeers should have muskets. They really are worthy of two different main type weapons to encourage different styles of play. I can definitely see the whole thing with pistols being quick weapons while muskets are slower but stronger work, as well. Just needs to be balanced so that one does not overcome the other.

They will have 1H & 2H like mage jobs.

Don't worry about it. ^^

we don't even have gunner weapon class in the game

I doubt that Musketeer job will be include in the first job system realease
