Think it's balanced and would fit gameplay here? :0 switching between ranged and melee?

[Seezur_Undies]

Would be interesting to see if they could make it fit, but it would be nice to be able to do that and stay viable to the party

Why are you doing SE's job? Seriously 98% or more of what you thought up and wrote won't even be considered esp the levels, names, etc. It's good your trying to give a suggestion for a future class, but the community can't spoon feed SE. They have a lot of brains working for them, they have loads of jobs and classes to choose from and they already have a vision of the classes and jobs they are considering. I'm sure a gun blade class has been mentioned, and yeah it would be bad ass.
