New Class/Job in 2.2?

[silentwindfr]

we can see what we want, personally i see more pointer to ninja than musketeer... CT armor, minion pet based on the ninja's dog interceptor from FF6 and the recent event talking of the Far East.

but i wait for it, then i see the sign i want.

nothing was done for say musketeer are coming, the guild was already there in V1 and nothing point in this direction, nor the team need another ranged dps.

While Yoshi-P has said that he wants to include a "Rogue-like" class, a perfect way to bring in the classic Thief and Ninja jobs, Musketeer as a gun-wielding class has been something SE has wanted to do since Day 1. If the general consensus that "Maelstrom" means more stuff for Limsa is on the horizon (pun intended) is true, it's a safe bet that Musketeer, with it's Limsa Lominsan-based guild that's currently closed, is the next class that's going to be made available and not the Rogue-like one. You can't quite conclude that a new class is coming out based on seemingly unrelated bits of happenstance, over something more concrete like the Musketeer class already having a guild and a presence in game. Plus, the Far East has pretty much always been the aesthetics of the new years event, which is why the helmets for them are all designed in the style of ancient samurai kabuto (their helmets).

In addition, we really do need another ranged DPS class, which I should point out is different from casters. Right now, there's two jobs for every archetype in the game. For tanks: PLD and WAR. For healers: WHM and SCH. For casters: BLM and SMN. For melee DD: DRG and MNK. However, BRD is the only available ranged DD, which is a hole in the current pattern of two jobs per combat archetype, and one that the OCD in some of us would like to see filled.
