Well currently Musketeer class is the only one with mostly everything done for it. It has the Lore setup already, it is the 3rd Class guild in Limsa, Blacksmiths in Lisma are know to be the Crafters who craft Musketeer Weapons so they have a crafter already, several NPCs are Musketeer Class NPCs such as Merlwyb and a few Maelstrom Members like Merlwyb 2nd and 3rd in command, A few of the Musketeer weapon designs are already released into the game to be used by NPCs, and their Class Guild is already open to public in Lisma and we have access to it.

The Maelstrom currently consist of mostly Musketeers for their Long Range unit.

Yoshi-P also did state we will be getting 1 new class before first expansion as well so most likely it is Musketeer.

Any other classes like the Scout (class that goes into Ninja and Thief) and Melee Mage(Red Mage) may require us to wait for 1st Expansion because of lore reasons similar to why the GunBlade Class will not be released until we get into or near the Garlean Empire because the GunBlade class guild is located in the Garlean Empire.

There is also a large range of players that have everything to 50 so adding a new class now goes along with there plans. Oh and musketeer has been in the game since V1.0 never finished but there. And as the weapon looks like a double barrel shotgun i can see it be a cone attacker hitting multiple enemy's so maybe a demi-tank, Maybe a full blown tank to help with the tank issues in the game. Am just throwing ideas out there.

Oh time scale wise you could say its 3 years after launch. Since version 2.0 it would be 6 months as SE have said it should be a march launch for 2.2

You do realize that 8 months after EQ launched Kunark, it launched a massive expansion pack called Scars of Velious, right? Four months is a decent amount of time for game, once development and production are running...and this team has been around for quite a while....

Past the 4 month mark, even if you do pretend this is a "brand new" game... it's time to start seeing updates with substance. If we expect an expansion within a year.. then we should be expecting a fully implemented CT and Coil, plus most of the baseline primals before then... we're almost to the halfway point time wise.... I don't know about you- but if this is half the endgame content for CT and Coil... and primals... then... sad.

What do people think will we finally see limsa's last class the musketeer come out?
The leader of The Maelstrom is a musketeer so who knows?

I'd just be happy with any class for the playerbase

MSK has been promised for 3 years now, just like Ishgard - Arcanist and Shepherd was as well.

I'd want them to sneak it in. Let us go out and find it. New quest appears... see where it leads to... - yes, this is my wishful thinking

It would be awesome but it won't happen. Probably see a new class with an expansion/level cap raise.

Well, we got 1 of the four you listed.

I keep hearing about the Shepherd. What was it? Another DoL?

I'd rather a new Mage class.

Shepherd was a DoL that would allow people to gather leather and cloth mats. It was intended to be a DoL in Ishgard once we have access to Ishgard.

That's pretty cool. Hope they keep the idea and just moved the guild to somewhere else.
