Guess the Expansion: After Shadowbringers Contest

[Enkidoh]

Merlwyb's two guns, Death Penalty and Annihilator

were both featured prominently in the MSQ. Easy bet that one of the jobs that's coming will be a dual gunner.

Not an easy bet, as it's not even a possibility - Merlwyb is and has always been a Musketeer (MSK), a class that was meant to be added even way back in 1.0 but never was (it still has an unused Guild hall with class logo in Limsa, it's the Coral Tower, which the MRD's Guild moved into after the Calamity and now shares it), and whatever SE had done for MSK was gutted and recycled for MCH (you learn Limsan musketery skills from the MSK Rostnsthal after all). Given SE seems to have all but abandoned MSK itself as a seperate class in favour of MCH, it's pretty clear MSK will now never be implemented and will remain a NPC only class.

Also NPCs always thumb their noses at the Armoury System and do things players have and never will be able to do (Raubahn being mechanically a GLA but dual-wielding GLA swords is another example.. well, until he lost his arm at the end of ARR that is). Hence NPCs are not a good example of potential future classes and Jobs being added.

Either way, MCH is the gun-using class for better or for worse, and dual-wielding guns is something that will be NPC only I'm afraid.
