Garlean Class - Riskbreaker.


As we enter the continent of Ilsabard and the fires of revolution follow against the last bastion of the now fallen garlean empire, the resistance groups have joined the ranks of the Alliance after the successfull liberation campaigns of Eorzea and Othard. Between the resistance fighters, a particular kind has risen to the task, an elite group called "Riskbreakers". These fighters use the famous gunblade weapons of the Empire, but thanks to their training in cover operations, guerrilla warfare and small tactical engagement than the larger fighter groups of the Garlean Army, the Riskbreakers are able to switch between ranged and melee combat in the blink of an eye, capable of landing shots from afar to weaken the enemy with diverse status and then closing in to deliver lightning fast cuts to their enemies.

Riskbreaker main mechanic is called Risk.

Each ranged attack builds up risk, increasing critical hit rate while reducing skills range in "ranged stance" and increasing "damage variability" in "melee stance", up to 10 stacks of risk can be built. Reducing effectively the ranged distance of the class to near melee range. After that the "stance switch" happens, and the Riskbreaker can now use all the build up Risk to release their damage dealing combos at melee range, After stacks are consumed or the Riskbreaker thinks is time to pull away, they can return to their range stance to build up again.
