What about Ranger? Archers need ranger as a job choice

[abzoluut]

So true! Let bard be the "support" job and ranger the reaaal dps. Long bows, short bows, cross bows, maybe even guns.. I doubt they'll do that since every other job then needs multiple weapons to chose from in order to avoid massive QQ.

Really hoping for some news on Ranger soon

Other jobs already have access to multiple weapons. Gladiators have swords and daggers. Both Conjurors and Thaumaturges have access to one handed weapons (and shields) and two handed weapons.

However, guns will be going to the long-promised musketeers. So those aren't going to be an option for an Archer-derived job.

I'm guessing a lot of people posting here haven't actually done the quest yet because this isn't just speculation based on a character having dual daggers. Yugiri explicitly states she is going to train adventurers in her combat style and offers to teach your character once the guild is set up. There's no question about it here. Expect to see mention of this in the next live letter.

This. Do the quests, or don't comment at all.

Yes! Exactly. own up!

[whiskeybravo]

Yea, I sort of think the reason they haven't officially commented (aside from the obvious reactions) is they already had the story scripted to tell us. Now that the cat's out of the bag we will probably get drips of more specific information as dates draw closer. The previous comment about visiting Doma seems interesting, the Garleans destroy it but still could be used for a dungeon type instance (like Lost City) or even a future raid (Binding Coil of... Garleans?) XD

I'm hoping for a ninja/samurai addition. The quest where you fetch armor scales hints at samurai, given the construction of traditional samurai armor.

I'm also thinking it'll be Ala Mhigo before Doma, mostly because Ala Mhigo is on the same continent, but also because I don't think we'll be returning to Doma until the player base has had a chance to train with Yugiri.

My guess is this patch is the "setting up the guild" patch. One or two big patches later, the guild is set up and it's time to train, because you must know the ways of Doma before you can hope to survive there (or something). So we'll train with Yugiri while also working towards liberating Ala Mhigo. Soon after, we'll get a patch where Yugiri deems us "ready" to fight like a Doman, and thus we go to retake and rebuild Doma.

All speculation of course.

I hope that they release more then 3 classes in the next expansion. Seeing as Musketeer and Ninja are very likely (thats 2 dps), it leaves us with only either a new tank or healer if there will be only 3. It'd be a lot funner for everyone is there was a new class for each role.
