    Gunner Image Hint at PT Role



    What type of role do you think Merlwyb would play in a PT? Does she resemble a healer to you? If she were a healer then they would have her healing people on the battlefield in her Anniversary short story.

    Gunner will be DPS. What else will Merlwyb be in a PT?

    Why exactly would she be representative of the "gunner" class we're getting in 3.0, when historically there is no precedent to support that assumption?
    What citystate leader has a player class/job again? None.

    We're getting our new DPS in two days. Nowhere has it been said that we'd be getting ANOTHER damage dealer class in 3.0, only one tank and one healer.

    Gunners have been in XIV since September 2010 - Their guild has been there since prior to the calamity story wise. Merlwyb is very clearly a representative of it as she's not only the leader of Limsa, but also one of the top ranking (best) Musketeer's ever known, which is why during 1.0's story, the way you held the gun in the story reminded them of their "lost" captain (Merlwyb). The precedent has existed for as long as Final Fantasy XIV existed.

    e're getting our new DPS in two days. Nowhere has it been said that we'd be getting ANOTHER damage dealer class in 3.0, only one tank and one healer.
    Which is why if the gunner is a healer, it would pretty much throw any "LORE!" excuses SE will use out the window from here on out. Nothing says there will be only 2 jobs, every FFXI expansion that introduced jobs introduced 3 or more jobs except for WoTG and SoA.

    I think it'll be a DPS with a third job as a healer revealed in Japan as well as a surprise. 1 tank, 1 heal, 1 dps for new jobs in the expansion makes sense to me

    Squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

    Chemists use guns, but not all gun users are chemists.

    Kan-E-Senna is a WHM. And I think Raubahn was a GLD, but I may be wrong on this one.
    Edit: yup he is a GLD : http://ffxiv.wikia.com/wiki/Raubahn_Aldynn

    I'm saying when have they displayed actions that can be associated with the class/jobs players have access to?
    Never. None of the NPCs have. They do their own unique thing and what jobs they are listed as are nothing more than lip service.

    Doesn't matter what she is at this point. I'm sure when musketeers was originally supposed to be added 4 years ago it was intended to be a dps. But alot has changed since then. And Yoshi is already on record as saying the gun class isn't what people expect. Everyone expected it to be dps. Though I'm holding out hope it will be something like summoner and scholar with both a dps and healing role come from it.

    Kan-E-Senna is a freaking Padjal, the only ones that can receive the power of white magic, except the player, it's not lip service, she is a WHM, it's not to list her under a category...
    Same goes for Raubahn he was part of the gladiators guild and made tons of money thanks to that, so again, it's not to put him in a category...

    Programming wise, every NPC has a class and class actions tied to them - Even back in the offline era, every NPC has a class tagged to them in Final Fantasy Tactics. Just because we don't have access doesn't mean it doesn't exist - Look at the beastmen and enemies, they use skills we have don't have access to.

    Arcanist has a class and skills since 1.0 and we had no access to them.

    Everyone expected either a DPS (you know like EVERY OTHER GUN ENEMY IS?) or Corsair because..let's face it, Corsair was amazing.
