I can't be the only one excited for machinist?!

[BarretWallace]

See, I'm talking about Machinist as a whole. Series wide. What they have in common. Not FFXIV's own specific version. In the traditional sense.

Zophar, losing battle.

I'll keep it simple: Barret used a gun(Arm*) and his attacks were different shots/ammo, using said gun(Arm*); you had Big Shot (Ammo), Mind Blow (Ammo), Grenade Bomb (Ammo), Satellite Beam (Magitek), Ungarmax (Ammo) and Catastrophe (Aether).

So, technically, Barret is as much a MCN as any other gun-using FF character. Because his arm is a gadget that he modifies himself. That qualifies him as an engineer.

Their limit break 3 should be a sniper rifle with a golden aura gathering aether b4 firing an epic shot to the boss.

Epic for sure.

On the AoE side of business, it'd be cool if it was a DX11, tricked out version of Satellite Beam(LB1), Ungarmax(LB2) and Catastrophe(LB3), too. Magitek pseudo-Gunarm, for the win.

Have mercy.
