To your point about Gunblades always being a 2 handed weapon as a reason it couldn't be a tank DRK would like a word. (Secretly tho I hope you are right.)

You- you realise that two of the three tanks have two-handed weapons, right?

My money is 100% in GUN tank, but that's because I believe the blufever leaks (BLU in 4.5, viera+ronso, GUN tank and DNC heals). So far it's been spot on, as have their other leaks.

I know two handed tanks can exist. I'm just saying it is not very likely the gunblade class will have an offhand shield.

And two new races? Really not buying that.

If they make it a tank they might as well just be giving DRK a gunblade glamour weapon.

May as well just give Monk a dancer glamour, or Red Mage a blue mage glamour.

If they make it a tank they might as well just be giving DRK a gunblade glamour weapon.

And if they make it a DPS they might as well just give SAM a gunblade glamour weapon

It better not be another DumPS.

Guys, It's a tank.
My hope was some kind of weird inverse redmage ranged physical slot to make that catagory seem less lonely (with BLU as a tank because where else would a mage designed to be hit go.. right? RIGHT????)
But Ya Boi is gonna be a gunblade in the expansion and in the trust pool shown. That pool has 1 healer 3 dps and 1 gunblade. It needs to be a tank if that's the only pool we're getting so that non-tank players can have a tank in their group.

Another think about the gunblade job that has me curious is the name. No actual job uses gunblade as a main weapon. So what will it be? Soldier seems most likely, but commando could also work. Since it is Thancred representing the job, and he likes to go all sneaky, maybe even agent. He is the sneaky womanizer. Or fancies himself one at least.

Since Thancred is representing it I think Commando is a good fit... Wonder if that nutkin is still kicking around...

Its a tank. My question is what will they call it.

But if it is a dps class........ then that means the other job is also a dps class which means................ absolute chaos from the tank and healer communities.

fun thing is if Gun becomes a tank, then tanks will have 4 Sword classes while dps has technically one ;w; i would love a proper sword class as a dps

i kind of think they might be a reverse RDM, a class focusing on close up attacks with ranged combos

tanks only have 2 sword jobs and 1 axe job, dps have 3 sword jobs SAM, NIN, RDM.
