Gunner Image Hint at PT Role

[Tupsi]

The admiral is not a gunner she's a pirate, when you think gunner think of the female Garlean General, or more likely Archer after SE reworks it.

The chick was a Monk..as stated, she even use the Monk weapons from XI (though gunified like all other Garlean technology.)

I find it interesting when people say things as if they were a fact when it is all just speculation

It's because ever since 1.0 and even post ARR launch there's quite a lot of data that's easily found to support the 'speculation' as you say and those who've played Square's job based games (including the MMOs) know full well how things tend to be programmed because it's the way they almost always program their battle system with so few people. (and funnily enough, usually the same people too.)

Let me ask you a question and answer this honestly:

Do the Goblin Snipers and Marksmen heal when they shoot you? Are they healing you when they shoot you?

Does the Admiral heal when she shoots people? Did she heal the Sahagin she shot? Has the Death Penalty ever been a gun used to heal people?

Of course Yoshida cares not for how jobs normally were designed (and sorry haters, designs go back past FFXI) but a gunner that's a healer? It does indeed mean it will be shoddy DPS as it needs to be able to properly heal, meaning most of its skills are heal based rather than damage based.

It will probably be like how Corsair was a support, but could DPS, and something else entirely would be a healer.
