Mix Weapon Jobs?

[EdwinLi]

So if in the future Jobs gets a bit more mixed with their weapons, what type of weapon combo would YOU like to see for new Jobs?

For me the Shortsword/Gun DPS Job is still my #1 pick for a Modern Assassin Job with mechanics designed to perform fatal executions (aka Heavy damage) based on how low the enemy's HP is.

For a Tank Job, I will like to see a Heavy Arm Claw/One-handed Mace Tank Job and call it Sentinel. When out of battle the Heavy Arm Claw retracts back to look like a Shield but in battle it turns into a large Claw weapon just bulky enough to act as both a Shield and Slash weapon. The Mace can be used as the main weapon. Job Lore wise I can see it being related to Garlean Empire as a Public Enforcer Job.

There are so many more interesting weapons that we haven't used yet; I would prefer that we say no more to sword jobs and gun jobs for now.

• Shield (as a stand-alone weapon, not as an off-hand shield. As a DD weapon please, not a tank).
• Whip
• Hammer/mace
• yo-yos (primarily as a melee weapon, with rare ranged attacks)
• quarter/long staves (for hitting things properly, not for maging)

to name a few.

That Shield Job is most likely going to be a Gun-Shield Tank Job anyways.

Expect a lot of Megaman cosplays.

Is it not too late to upgrade the Samurai into Shinsengumi and wield both katana and rifle?

They are going for the Rurouni Kenshin path for SAM judging by the new skills obtained for SAM in 5.0.

If a Sword/Gun job is introduced, it sadly has to be a new job with different mechanics which would fit a Modern Assassin that specialize in Shortswords for close range assassinations and Gun for their long/mid range Assassination attacks.

Or go Pirate Job with Sword/Gun or Demon Hunter.

Why would a stand alone shield ever be for a DD? The primary purpose of a shield is defense with secondary offensive capabilities.

A proper scythe job would be pretty epic. Something along the lines of Evie from Vindictus or Angela from Rusty Hearts (rip RH). No one seems to do scythes justice...

Would be interesting if they started making use of that subweapon slot for some of the classes. Could be a take on the subclass idea, where equipping certain subweapons would give you 5-ish abilities that every class can use depending on the weapon.

Dervishes in Guild Wars used scythes, and were pretty awesome.
