We have a single Physical Range DPS class...
and the fact that they mentioned Musketeer ages ago...and there already being a guild placed for it...
I wonder why Ninja is coming out before that.
Anyone know why they went this route? Just curious.
Edit - Before someone argues with me I meant the fact it's getting released
before Musketeer lol.
@ Grey Cain.
Ah I see. Thank you very much for the response.
It kinda sucks, but it doesn't look like much are having a lot of
beef with his decision, I just think it sounded more reasonable...In due time I guess.
Actually all in all there is 5 melee lol, don't forget the tanks!Quote:

5 to 4...but that's only if you wanna be technical.
But yeah I see where you're coming from.
Surprised Ninja came out before the gunner class...

Yoshi likes dual-knife wielders more than gun-wielders. That's about it. During the beta, he'd post about how he'd like to have a Scout class with dual-knives, and even after the Arcanist reveal, all he'd say for the next class is that "fans of FF" wouldn't forgive him if it didn't appear next. Turns out he was basing that off of fans of FF the series (hence, Rogue/Thief), and not fans of XIV the game he was making.

eh with how most statics are good luck that ranged physical classes spot would just go to bard with the current 2 melee 2 ranged setup that most groups are running

Well, you can look at it this way.... There is already 3 ranged dps in brd, blm and smn. There are only 2 melee dps period, he balanced those numbers out instead of adding another/4th ranged one.
3 melee, 3 ranged. -

The game also lacks the quintessential "stealth" class that is standard to most MMOs and Final Fantasies tbh. Rogue fills in that gap and rounds out the base roles.

The gun class will be a healer, I'm telling you.

Pretty sure the MSK guild is busy raiding Indigo Deeps or raiding garlean fleets atm

09-30-2014, 06:16 AMThugwaffleI wouldn't mind if they added a gun class that branched range dps or heals in a similar vein as arcanist. I'm thinking Musketeer and Chemist...Quote:

While I am okay either Ninja or Musketeer, I doubt what is the point with stealth class in this game ?
Because every dungeon has one pattern, each mobs stay exactly where it is every time.
Avoid boss mechanic ?, questionable because stealth from DoL has yet avoid AoE.
Frontline ?, only reason to stealth but how may ppl playing Frontline ? -
09-30-2014, 10:59 AMRiepahHow many people would raid if the rewards obtainable through raiding were as (currently) worthless as the ones you can earn in Frontlines?Quote:

I personally wouldn't want the gun class to be a healer. Either straight range or range/melee hybrid.

10-01-2014, 03:58 PMDappelYeah I'm with you.. I really hope the gun job is a DPS. Gun classes have always been cool to me, but healing really isn't my deal.Quote:

10-04-2014, 09:50 AMRochedalaixI suspect once Ninja comes out even less people will be playing Frontline, nobody likes a class that can turn invisible and gank you while you can do nothing about it. I personally hate stealth classes in every single MMO.Quote:

Stealth classes are the only thing to keep you on your edge of your seat.

10-04-2014, 01:21 PMWarrlorddIt's been said NIN is a scout class, not a stunlock class. I'm sure u won't see that particular iteration of a 'scout' type class in this gameQuote:

We have yet another hint that the so-called gunner class, or Musketeer, may not be a pure gunner. Most recently revealed screens showcase yet another boss wielding both a sword and gun, much like the first Pharos Sirius boss.
We know that the musketeer is not what we're expecting it to be. And we know that its not part of the expansion line up of classes based on quotes from the producer.
I suspect, then, that the musketeer may end up being the first hybrid class that could fulfill any roll. Though I suspect it may be limited to damage and healing roles (off-healer). The possibility that the musketeer ends up being a melee class (or a ranged class with melee abilities) is an interesting style that hasn't really be done before in FF14. And the style could lead to allowing it to perform a hybrid role than simply being strictly gun-oriented. I also suspect that the gunner class may actually be a Disciple of Magic, rather than a Disciple of War, though I don't have the fondest like of that suspicion.
