Thread: New Class/Job in 2.2?

I'm reading the same thing in all honestly. I said Corsair because that's what they were called in FFXI. Basically its a gunner type class which is awesome in any form its put. Since Maelstrom is the key word and Merlweb uses guns its where I came to my conclusion from. That and pirates cause I like Pirates and they'd be a pretty good Starter Class for a Corsair/Musketeer Job. At least in my opinion they would be. Can't see them releasing their Class without the extended Job.


I'm wondering if Musketeer/Corsair will be a DPS class. Seems like an obvious choice since a Ranged Tank is kinda dumb. Wonder if they'd overtake the Bard as Ranged DPS.

I seem to recall Yoshi-P saying that new classes and jobs could be introduced in major patches, rather than having to wait for expansions to come out, so it's entirely reasonable to think that Musketeer could come out of 2.2. Corsair being the job to the Musketeer class is a popular suggestion and could work as a ranged support DD, similar to the Bard. I doubt one would ever overshadow the other, because that's just bad game design.
