The Mystery Gun Job

[Jandor]

Personally I think the way it's going to go is. Main class being thief (or other equivilent name) With two split jobs, one being ninja with typical dual weilding ability, and a corsair like job which dual weilds with the offhand weapon as a pistol instead of a dagger (Think first boss of pharos)

Personally I think (hope) it's going to be 'Scout' class with 'Thief' (DPS/support) and 'Ninja' (pure DPS) jobs.

No, it's already been confirmed that there are going to be 2 separate classes, not just jobs. Also, I'd bet that There won't actually be a dual wield trait. I much more expect that the thf nin is actually going to have "Dual daggers" as their style of weapon. There are a couple reasons I believe this. The lesser reason is that Dagger already exists as a GLA weapon.

Do you have a source for the 2 classes thing? I'd be interested in reading it .

Honestly, after all my effort trying to dig it back up again, I couldn't find the original source. But it was when they announced the new classes, they had said it as if it were two separate classes, and not one. But either way, if you've played through the story, I don't see any reason to doubt that it's 2 classes. Gunner already has an official guild, and has since 1.0. It's up in the Marauder's guild. The dagger class on the other hand has a "secret underground" guild, the location of which is shown to be down by the docks. Moreover, we were treated to a fancy little preview of what the dagger job will supposedly be like in one of the cutscenes. I really can't picture them adding a gun to this job that is already using 2 daggers.

Oh, my mistake, I've totally misunderstood you. I thought you meant the 2 dagger jobs would branch off of 2 separate dagger classes.

I think the gun class mechanism should revolve around a chain shot progressive buff.
So lets say the first skill is a generic shot skill, each time you cast it you get a buff which lasts 2 secs but stacks, the skills you go on to unlock require you have to have certain amount of stacks to use

So a sequence could be, quick shot, quick shot, quick shot (3 stacks of buff), wake shot, (keeping the buff) which opens you up to having access to status ailments like stun or poison, there would be a max stack, where you would have access to the stronger skills.

I can elaborate if needed, but general idea should be clear.

[Zophar]

Oh no. Not at all. Was specifically directed at the person with the theory about the dagger and gun classes being one and the same.
