Gunblade job must be a DPS.

I'm pretty sure it is going to be a tank. Tanks and healers got screwed the last expansion by not getting a new job and by making two highly requested jobs for DPS. This time around it will probably be tanks and healers getting two highly requested jobs.

And maybe for DPS jobs we could have Shinobi, Gunner and Dragon Knight.

So... NIN, MCH, and DRG?

That was the joke, the post he mentioned has viking and holy knight which are very similar to pld and war/ hard to differentiate.

Ah! Perhaps I should have considered the context. Carry on!

Yes we need another melee dps. I am a melee player and I don't really like any of the current melee options. I've stuck with DRG because its the best of terrible options we have. Monk being stupid, ninja being annoying, and samurai being meh.

Yeah, we totally need another melee dps. We only have 4 to choose from. What happens when you don't like gunblade as a melee dps, will we need a 6th?

Look at wow, every single new class it has ever added has had a Tank Role as an option for that class. And yet, it has never once ever decreased queue times in any meaningful way.

So, if people had the option to play dps on a class that can be both, they would play dps? No way! I would have never thought that would be the case.

For all we know Gunblade could be a healer class. Healer shoots allies to heal them and uses the gun blade at close range to deal damage.

It doesn't have to be a DPS class at all. At this point its all speculation.

[TaranTatsuuchi]

I've said it before...

If they are sticking to only 2 classes per expansion, we need a tank and healer this time.
And going forward, a dps and a tank or healer each subsequent expansion.

Assuming they can't do one of all three.

In final fantasy tactics vikings were magic casters.

In final fantasy tactics vikings were magic casters.

They had access to Thunder, Thundara, Thundaga...but didn't have anywhere near the stats necessary for those to have any relevance. Ah...They also had Tsunami, but I don't believe it was in any better state.

So yes. Comparing Vikings to Warriors is pretty close.

That being said...they were actually thieves with high attack...but meh. Marauders technically are thieves as well.
