So A Maelstrom Reborn?

[EdwinLi]

I'm assuming that Musketeer will basically be Gunner with a different name. Machinist seems unlikely to me given the game's mechanics, which leaves Corsair and Gun Mage. We already have a ranged DPS/support in Bard, so I don't think it will be Corsair.

Which leaves Gun Mage.

You have to remember that each class will have 2 Jobs.

As of now Arcanist is the only one with 2 Jobs and the other current classes don't because they don't have a proper sub-class for their 2nd Job level 15 requirements, lacking a 2nd cross-skill option, or just not planned yet.

It is possible to have another DD/Support because each Job brings something different into the group through their skills. Corsair could easily be a DPS/Support with Support skills that focus on improving the party's healing ability or defense compared to Bard which has support skills made to regenerate MP, TP, and increase Magic damage on enemies.

I just think it's unlikely that a second ranged DPS will be another support. Would seem silly. Gun Mage would seem a good way to introduce Blue Mage without calling it Blue Mage. And they could always have Gunner as the second job, which would be more of a a DPS specialiast.
