Healing Gunner Planned?

[winxbloom61]

Why not? they already thrown DRK history out the window, why not a job that heals with bullets.

1st off they not breaking drk history drks should have been tanks and probely would have been in the history if those were online and second there is no logic behind a bullet healling someone really isnt no fantasy rule set can make it logical for a bullet to heal

in this case the reason why not is logic and fantasy worlds have some what logic

drk wears heavy armor like the rune blader)mystic knight who was a tank in most ffs well i used em as a tank so u cant say its cuz they are magical knights theres no logic behind them tanking

so lets do a check least

does drk use a mele weapon
yes
does drk wear heavy armor(plate) Yes
does Drk have the ability to hold agro (yes)
so there you go the reason why it makes sense it being a tank

truth is dancer should be the next healer either that are chemist

Damage Inflicted = Weapon Attack x 5 + JobLv x 10 + CurrentHP x 0.9

As a Dark Knight, Cecil's stats are weighted physically, and he has barely any Magic Defense. As a Dark Knight he has low MP and Spirit. In the remake version for DS and smartphones he can boost his attack power with the Darkness ability, but at the cost of health.

Once Cecil becomes a Paladin, his stats increase, especially in Magic Defense and Spirit. Though Cecil loses all his levels when he becomes a Paladin, a Level 1 Paladin Cecil has 600 HP, more than even a Level 20 Dark Knight Cecil. Cecil can use White Magic as a Paladin, but his magic stats are not high, making him a mediocre support healer or someone to take damage for the team.

As a Drk, Cecil can boost his dmg, but suffers from low magic defense and mp. As a Pld his stats increase, especially Magic Defense and Spirit, he also more hp at lvl 1 Pld than a lvl 20 Drk.

Total from main FF series, 5 DPS roles, 3 Tank Roles*

*The 3 roles are arguable at best, first is due to str and vit being equal in iOS version of FFIII, second is from FFXI where DRK was designed as a dps but players were able to tweak it into a tank, and third from a game that wasn't even released until after jobs for 3.0 were already confirmed internally.


Looks like for the majority of the history of FF, Drk has had a main focus on damage instead of tanking, but I digress, yoshi wants his DRK to be a tank that's his call and he's made it. However, saying that DRK should of always been a tank because of it's legacy from past FF titles is untrue.
