For all the rage on Blue Mage, mine included lol, I'm over here PRAYING the Gunblade job will be a DPS knowing it's probably a tank lol.

I've wanted a Gunblade job that plays like Squall from Dissidia since my FFXI days.

Sure, have 4 DPS classes back to back, wouldn't even surprise me to be honest.

The excuse probably being "We completely reworked DRK".

I’m hoping for a hint of a healer next fanfest.. fingers crossed

If Monk has to share Striking sets with Samurai, then Dragoon should have to share Maiming sets with Soldier/Gunblader, and Ninja Scouting sets with Dancer.

Shame Blue Mage is limited, I'd have liked to have seen Red Mage moved off Caster sets (robes don't become a Red Mage IMO), the two could share a Fencer INT set (although with a cane as a weapon I guess not now) or something... It would have pleased me to see two jobs on each DPS gear set; two ranged, two scouting, two caster, two fencer, two striking, two maiming. Two sets for INT, two sets for DEX, two sets for STR... It would have been perfect...

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.

Actually ninja uses daggers. But you are right about everything else.

ninja use short swords and daggers depending of the weapon, all 3 AF ninja weapons are wakizashi with are short swords, and plenty of NIN weapons are just real world short swords.

yea i miss counted for tanks, also someone said what i see which is ninjas using daggers, while some are short swords i still see it as more a dagger class, and RDM i know its meant to be a rapier but its more a staff then a sword, that's mainly with what i meant by proper sword class, (tho i will admit i did blank on Samurai )
do in my correction if gun is a tank then we would have 3 sword tanks and technically two dps

either way i would still love Gunblade to be a DPS class,

Ya know, on the one hand I'd be fine with us DPS people not getting anything now. We had two deeps in Stomblood, Ninja is better than ever (screw HW ninja) and tanks and healers really need new toys.
But there is no way in hells the gunblade job will be tank. Gunblades have always been two handed weapons. Or used with no off hand at least (Jake is the only exception who dual wields.)

So Gunblade class as tank would be:

The third out of four tanks to use sword.
The third out of four tanks not to use a shiled (the icon for tanks)
The third out of four tanks to use parry.

No way. We will have another surprise class for tank. Or Dancer as the evasion tanks and something else as the surprise healer

the two could share a Fencer INT set

That's not how you spell pimp.
