What job do you think the Gun Class will be? (Gun Mage? Agent?)

[Tharian]

Just curious, what exactly it is you like about the Gun Mage?

I don't know if you were someone who played Final Fantasy XI's Treasures of Aht Urghan Expansion or not, but in that expansion they introduced the Blue Mage.

What made the Blue Mage special more than anything else wasn't the fact that it could learn the spells and abilities of the monsters (yes there was that)... but rather it's ability to customize the spells, and traits that it had equipped at any given time.

What I mean by this is that at it's max level a Blue Mage could have 20 spells equipped at any given time, with a maximum of 70 Blue Magic Points to allocate those spells with. Basically it was the single most customizable class in that game. Though they had several dozen spells above and beyond what they could actually slot into their active spells.

That is essentially why I want the Blue Mage/Gun Mage. The customization feature that the Blue Mage would offer to the player.

Not to be a wet blanket, but we can't even cross-class much at the Job level so ... : /

Heh ... wonder if the gun-using class will be ... wait for it ... PUP!

What? They can put together a robot, no reason they can put together a gun or 2.

PS: Bonus points if it requires Lv 15 GSM as a sub-class. LOL

Who said anything about cross-classing?

Less about "cross-classing" and more about variation in player characters. Every variation of player character will have to be "balanced".

It really depends on how hard up SE is on minimizing raid/PVP performance deltas.

I think it will be some sort of support DPS class.

That's pretty much how all DPS classes are except for DRG currently. MNK has mantra, a stun, technically a silence, a -10% int debuff. NIN has a stun, a silence, TP regeneration, +10% damage on enemy debuff, slashing resistance debuff, and a weak mantra. SMN has battle rez, enhanced virus, heavy, eye for an eye on a shorter cooldown, BLM has -20% magical damage on a target, virus, eye for an eye, heavy/slow, and manawall/ward can sort of be counted for utility in certain scenarios.

I was thinking like Bard - but I didn't think of it that way, you're right. Disregard my dumb thought.

Like I already said. We don't need a second Bard.

I also want it to be Corsair. That was such a fun job in XI and I can only imagine how fun it will be in XIV.
