2.3 Info! New Classes Confirmed, New Summoner Pets!

[Akoree]

I was hoping for a rick-roll link.

It actually falls in line with what Yoshi said. Increase of level would happen before the expansion, and in so doing would also include new classes. Classes like the musketeer. Yoshi also said he wanted a stealth class.

This is very much in line in what I have read.
-Higher level cap before 3.0.
-New classes before 3.0
-Gun and dagger classes that Yoshi has talked about a few times.

But my speculation is if there is a Gun class it will be Red Mage. Yoshi basically said one of the first jobs to be added would be Red Mage.

Interesting if true. Perhaps a ranged dps/buffer&debuffer?

Now that I think of it, I'm guessing that they will not be adding another primary stat, so does that mean this class/job would use dex gear like a bard or caster gear like a mage?

Breaking news. The new class will be a tank called ATMA GUN-MAGE. It will be a tank/dps/healer hybrid that uses ATMA as ammunition. Need to kill a boss? No problem, just farm your 12 ATMA, load up your ATMACANNON and fire away. Farming ATMA for your gun will help keep FATEs relevant. Please look forward to this new fun and exciting system.

Gun Mage X-2 style?

Nice if true but damn sounds like 2.3 will be 2 months away and if it not present there that's gonna be another 3-4 months before we even see the new classes come into play. At least May wont be so hard on me with all the movies coming out hopefully I have enough to do before it gets released.

As for the gun class comment I wouldn't be surprised. There's many approaches to be taken into consideration.

Personally I wonder if this means the gunner class will be the black mage of range melee dps or summoner. Yet instead of having to resource mana or aetherflow you'll end up resourcing ammunition akin to how merlwyb did her role in the main scenario. I'm seriously looking forward to it.

As for the dagger class I wonder how it will play out. Will it be combo reliant and if so how will it play out? Are we gonna see this dagger class have a primary and secondary finisher like Dragoon's Full Thrust and Chaos Thurst making it a burst damage class with a dot or more like Warrior where the primary combo does it's main job and the secondary combo branches off for debuff and utility, or are we gonna see finishers like monks for stacking damage outputs making it a sustain damage class?

This I'm curious to see. Can't wait for E3.

More likely than not, the base class will be Musketeer. As for the jobs, they can easily have something akin to Scholar, ie the main stat changes for one of the jobs.

didn't yoshi say they wouldn't add new pets until level cap was raised?

well from the text they just comfirmed that they would get them not when suppose to be with leel cap increase yeh which should be with ethe expansion in like a year or so

[YmirEsc]

Reading things is hard

im talking about before this live letter lmao
reading previous live letters is apparently even more difficult

EDIT;
"Q12: Will we be able to obtain a new egi after defeating Leviathan?
A12: We feel it’s unfair to add new abilities just for summoners, so we would like to add new abilities for all jobs at the same time. Therefore, it will happen when we raise the level cap."

amazing!!!!! only took a few seconds of searching!!!!!!
i originally added my post just because it contradicts what they first said, so yes i did in fact read it. asking questions and analyzing is a little different from "not reading"

lmao smh

And Yoshi also said they couldn't add them til a level cap increase.
