No Dualwielding Pistol MCH ?

[Drakeos]

So what happened to this idea this would SO much better gameplay than MCH as it is right now and ofc better playstyle (armor would be for SB Omega series)

I want dual wielding katanas for sam. Shoot ive been pushing for a dual wielding tower shield tank job.

Dont think that ever was an idea considered by devs.

Besides, dual-wield guns would likely be a whole new job.

It's a misunderstanding of how the planned but never implemented Musketeer class (MSK for short) was believed to introduced based on Merlwyb dual wielding flintlock pistols (who is class-wise a MSK) and the MSK class icon being two crossed pistols - which means nothing as other classes that also have dual weapons crossed on their icons... don't actually dual wield (MRD's dual crossed axes, GLA's dual crossed swords).

I still wish MCH was simply an upgrade from MSK, but sadly that train has long since left the station so it's one of those oddities of FFXIV 1.0 that was planned but consigned to oblivion due to it's muddled development and has long since been abandoned by the development team.

That was in fact the FIRST plan.
When you started the 1.0 game, there was a scene with on pistol.
After, the lore told you Merlwyb weild 2 relics pistols (annihilator and death penality)
The Musketeer guild should have ben under the maraudeurs guild in limsa.

How about Dual-shields for tank ?

Corsair could be another ranged dps that has the 3.X WM/GB mechanic. It may have not been received well, but there are people who did enjoy it.

How would dual wielding alter gameplay, it'd be an aesthetic change at most.

[Ghastly]

Machinist should've been dual wield from the beginning to (to make it even more unique to bard) and we already have Merlwyb as an example of how it should've been. It's probably too late now but I get a feeling they might branch out some of the jobs some day. Maybe mch can branch out to be more of a pirate class in the future.

I want to quad-wield. Dual wielding is for losers. I wanna hold guns with my feet too, so I can do 4 times the DPS.
