Weapon of choice for future DPS?

So Witch Hunter from that Warhammer MMO

That was the first thing to come to mind for me as well. I'd prefer a more traditional job or something wholly unique and lore-driven within XIV, or even particular to 5.0 or 6.0, etc., therein, but the concept for that job was decently enjoyable, so I've certainly nothing against it.

Ya but the down side of making a Sword/Gun job work is that it rather a tricky Job to make right due to the Sword and Gun nature. Not many games bother to make a Sword/Gun Job though we have a NPC that does use a "Sword/Gun" comabt style but he use a Axe/Gun instead and his ingame combat is set to Gladiator by default (like many weapon user types that don't have a Job) since there is no "Sword/Gun" Job battle style in this game being Rostnsthal from the MCH job storyline.

Still Yoshi-P did say he wanted to introduce new Jobs unique to FF14 eventually back in 3.X so all options are open.
