I honestly think gunblade is going to be the 2nd form of mechanist. There is no way I see them not having base classes, and I feel it would fit. Think about it.

1-30 mechanist 30+ gunblade
I mean *maaaaybe* archer, but come on...

Same with the others

For or astrologian it *could* come off whm but I'm doubtful.

The only one I don't see having/being a starter would dark knight as I feel it would come off of gladiator quite well.

But even then I think they would have

??? - lvl30-> drk.

Also, I don't see drk and astrologian being a starting point, I see them as the jobs. Where as gunner just feels more like the base for something bigger. *coughgunbladecough*

Correct me if I'm wrong and they gave true words about it. But otherwise maybe there's more for us to be excited for than we realize?
