Screencap of Bard and weapon

[Imagene]

Pft, The Bard looks epic but I was hoping for Ranger or something. A specialized class that uses a bow.

Does this mean that we won't be using archers in a party setup? I mean, I know we could use a class in a party instead of a job, but jobs are designed for party use right?

I'm right there with you man.

They did say this tho >>>

#XIVLive Q: Could you tell us all of the jobs that are going to be released in 1.21?

A: There is one job that has yet to be announced... What we have announced so far is paladin, white mage, black mage, dragoon, monk, and bard. Last, here is a warrior image!

So since it's pretty much going to be

Conjuror >>> White Mage or Black Mage
Thaumaturge >>> Black Mage or White Mage
Gladiator >>> Paladin
Pugilist >>> Monk
Lancer >>> Dragoon
Marauder >>> Warrior
Archer >>> ????

Archer could possibly be Bard, but this was actually never confirmed. Although the Bowharp does make it a really strong case.

But here's hoping that Bard comes from a DoL/H (Support) and that the unannounced job is Ranger!!! I miss Sidewinders.
