Dagger AND Gun Jobs confirmed for Soon after 2.3 - don't fret!

Chances are, the Rogue/Ninja Stealth type skill will just be something like quelling strikes and/or shroud, where it reduces emnity/emnity gain (so it wouldnt break other things). Since its stealth, Id say more than likely just reduce emnity at cast, since stabbing something would make it know youre there, and not be stealthy anymore.

Yoshi said the gun class will be similar to a mage. Rogue came first because it'll play more unique, especially in pvp

ya sound kind of like how SWTOR handled their Gun classes with classes like Commando/Merc main focus on Mage type skills with their guns (casting bars and all that mage cast stuff)

Well one thing SWTOR prove is it also possible for Gun classes to shoot Healing Bullets or shoot Healing Rays

Though that idea would work for a Chemist Job if SE decides to give the Gun Class a Healer Job

I'd probably play a healer if I was able to cast my healing abilities by shooting my party members in the face. Yeah, that would be fun.

Well the idea is crazy enough to work in this game with Magitek.

They just need the Gun class, Lore reason why the Gun class can heal (will most obvious will be the combat medic background), and a Crazy Chemist Scientists to be our Chemist Job trainer for a funny Mad Scientist story for the Job quest.

He's also already told us the gun class wouldn't be how we thought it was going to be. And given his most recent interview sawing it would be too similar to a Mage class playstyle it seems a given that it won't be a ranged physical Dps. Hence your counter falls apart.

A gun is a gun. If anything its going to use mp for its skill pool, sounds like its going to be a "Gun mage" (reference FF:tactic advance, for some ideas how the job might play). Either way its going to be awesome.. cuz anything shooting out from a barrel, pointed at something is going to look cool, regardless if its physical dps or magic dps.

Get annoyed all you want, but don't be calling the man a lier and that he is making excuses for not adding the class or job. So childish.

I never called him a liar. I just said people expect it cause there are hints to it already in game. I'm personally not angry or annoyed that the gun class isn't in game. Sure it would be nice, but there are other people who want it way more then I do.

[Roris]

I think it's funny how Flee is just reduced fall damage so you can effectively flee from aggro'd enemies by jumping off and not die, guess that's the best they got that to work in this game. They do seem intent on appealing first to the WoW audience and also discarding everything they can from the first version or at least putting it on hold as long as they, I mean the first version failed after all right, even though we already have a two handed melee based on speed and agility and still not a proper non magical non half support ranged DPS.

First of all

then why are you still arguing?

Different playstyles are fun, one could ask whats the point of ranged classes, you dont NEED to be at range to do anything in this game at all.

Im not gonna even go into the vast uses in pvp, because clearly you'll just respond with the classic "screw pvp" response.


And really anything I have to say wont change your opinion, as this is probably your second keyboard (the first one broke when gunner wasnt announced).

it's been 4 years. those keyboards broke long ago.

again you have given me zero on what stealth is used for but a generic pvp response. so basically the class is useless outside of pvp and barely differentiates itself from mnk? yet they couldn't add musketeer (please stop saying gunner it's not gunner.) because of pvp? do you see any sense in this? honestly?

or are you going to say well it reduces enmity. cause well that's already in the game. quelling strikes. that not exactly "stealth"

oh and "screw pvp" the pvp in this game is terrible. I think you believe you can go invis sneak up on someone and 1-2 shot them ala WoW. but our dmg output to our insane hp pools isn't how it works in this game. if so nin will be the most OP class in the game with mega spike dmg.

the only thing yoshi ever said about the gunner class, is that it would not be like anything anyone was expecting. He never said anything about when it will come out. The story ingame though, told us we will be able to train in the dagger class very soon. So yoshi never had to say anything really about when it was going to come out, as we all already knew it would be in the soon future.
