A Request for when you add Musketeer

[LlenCoram]

Actually, rangers have two primary skills in FFXI which are Archery and Marksmanship. Their ultimate weapons consisted of bows, guns and a crossbow.


In the Alpha build, did Musketeer have a full set of class traits and abilities?


You make valid points.

I wish it was available in alpha. I meant that for people who started in Limsa, one of the story cutscenes involves giving you a gun. You aim it, then have it taken away 5 seconds later.

It's where my sig is from.

Maybe one class will get handguns, and another one will get rifles?

That would be awesome to. I can only imagine what jobs Musketeer would branch off to.

Sniper?

Id say Gunblades could even be a 3rd class with ranged and melee stances...

Looking further into Final Fantasy's history of gunners it could possibly become

• Gunner
• Hunter
• Sniper
• Ranger
• Corsair
• Machinist
• Engineer
• Gun Mage
• Cannoneer
• Fusilier
• Flintlock

SE need to be really careful with the introduction of this and a Gunblade class.
Everyone, myself included wants to see these appear, but there's the problem - The ratio of DD's to Healers and Tanks is already an issue, adding another DD class that literally everyone wants to rock is going to make it even more difficult for people to group.

One could hope SE has another tank and healer up their sleeve when they introduce Musketeer.

^^
Ranger from a SE MMO uses a bow primarily. (can use gun)

We mention long guns, such as rifles. That would not fit with corsair.

Most of the others could work tho.

Gunblades for a tank class. I'd support it. Ranged stance for kiting, melee for spank and tank, damage mitigate and bonuses to parry.

Still dying for this class. It's been three bloody years SE. Give me my gun back.

It will be one or the other, one is a two handed weapon, one is a one handed weapon. I doubt they will go the GLD/CNJ route with it and allow off hand/single or two hand. If anything the Rifle would be the job branching from the class...imo

I think a pistol could end up with higher attack rate, lower damage, lower range, and the rifle could end up with lower attack rate, higher damage, higher range. Might make for different strategies on different bosses. On Titan, for example, you wouldn't want to be on the edge shooting with a rifle, but you could be mid-range shooting with either rifle or pistol.
