A new class can use magitek as a weapon ?

I think it ll be cool if there ll be a class that can use the magitek as a weapon by mount/ride it so here is the though:

How it work:

The class can be unlock maybe by have all DoH lvl 50 and player will be able to unlock new class call Engineer. The Engineer class may have and may not have craft ability but they will have a weapon and have 1 or 2 skill to survive when not ride their magitek.

When mount/ride the magitek, the engineer will have the magitek stats, exampler:
Character have A stats and magitek have B stats. When player dont ride/mount magitek the system display will be A stats and when player mount/ride magitek the system will display B stats, in other words the player stats are now magitek stats and if anything happen the magitek will be the one take dmg and not player.


Limit:
_ Player will not be able to earn exp while mount/ride magitek killing mobs, but Spirit bound player equip and drop will function normaly

_ Magitek required fuel/ammunation to be able to attack (may buy from NPC or maybe craft it, but it is depend on the engineer have the craft ability or not)

_ Magitek is a weapon and a mech therefore it player mount/ride magitek will not be able to receive healing/buff or any other group spell from player in and outside party

_ Magitek can obtain when engineer class reach lvl 20 by buy from NPC vendor (and I think about there ll be 2 type of magitek a close combat & 1 range combat)

_ Magitek is a weapon, therefore player cannot lvl it up but the player will need to reach a certain of lvl to be able to upgrade it from the NPC vendor (Tunning). Will be lvl 35 and 50 as tier 1 is lvl 20, tier 2 is lvl 35 and tier 3 is lvl 50

_ If Magitek HP reach 0% it will goes BOOM (and yes you can unmount/unride before its HP reach 0%), at this point I think about player will have to re-buy and upgrade a new one but that ll be to harsh for the future so the pay will be half of the tier upgrade to repair a 0% HP magitek

_ Magitek can only repair by the NPC sell (repair/tunning/selling can be in same worshop or store or w/e it will be)

ps:
1. Sorry for my bad english with wrong spell and incorrect gramma (and no this is not google translate)

2. This magitek doesnt have anything to do with the mount magitek Yoshida mention before where you can get it from a garlean quest. So there ll be 2 type of magitek in this game if this class got player vote and add into game and ofc they ll have different look. But ofc this is just a rough idea so please dont be to rough against it

Ill just follow Cid example and throw wrench at em

I think a pet class that uses robots would be cool.

As for magitek mounts: This is all we know.

I think a DoW that requires a DoH/DoL at at least lvl 15/30 as pre-req is pretty cool. But that's just my opinion. Makes for a pretty interesting, FFT feel.

We can call it: Puppetmaster.

I imagine magitek armor will work in the same sense as choco raising. It might just be a pvp thing only where people can tweak and customize their magitek armor and then face off against one another with their unique setups. The parts would come from all crafts and those parts would determine the skillsets you can use with your magitek armor as well as HP/MP and the amount of TP they can gain.

It would be really difficult to setup magitek armor as a class or a plain PVE concept in itself unless they only made it for one gimmicky event and then barely went back to it since they then would either only have access to said magitek armor concept during said instance. They could just turn magitek armor in a unique pvp game which would also allow those who don't have a DoM/W to be involved in a pvp concept if they don't want to lv said classes.

Or a mallet?

Remind me, which FF that has mechanic Cid as playable character?
IIRC, he throw a wrench there

FF4 iirc! =D

An Engineer job (a new invented one) would be cool.

sure puppetmaster would be similiar to this. but an engineer who controls magitek robots.. and maybe having guns as a weapon also to deal ranged attack damage (less than the archer) would be somethin really fresh to that scenario from the middle ages.

The problem with puppetmaster was that it wasn't very versatile. Yes you could make your puppet fill any role in a party, however you had to dismiss it, change out all its parts (which could take awhile), and then resummon it.

I want something that has different pets already preconfigured, so all I have to do is summon and resummon. Throw in some consumable things that I can toss out on the field (gravity field, anti-magic field, portable turret, etc.), and add in a charming ability that lets me take control of NPC machine type mobs, and then we're getting somewhere.

If Engineer is to become available, I think it should be a DoH. But that's just IMO

If it'll be anything it'll be Arcanist/Puppetmaster.
