4th Range DPS idea after endwalker

[Shurrikhan]

Also unlikely to be a melee.

There are at present 8 melee and 9 ranged (10 if including BLU). Soon that will be 9 melee and 10 ranged (11 if including BLU).

There are soon to be 4 jobs of Fending, 4 jobs of Healing, 3 jobs of Casting, 3 jobs of Aiming, 2 jobs of Slaying, 2 jobs of Maiming, 1 job of Scouting, a partridge, and no pear trees.

What part of that makes a melee unlikely?

The videos that was shown from Lost Ark here is basically Machinist to be honest.

Also this.

Also this.

Probably because they're gauging melee/ranged/caster as separate playstyles which I can get behind, because they are quite distinct in those niches... I'd honestly love to have caster and ranged with an extra representation each to have more diversity in those playstyles. I'm not counting BLU since its target content differs greatly from the rest of the jobs.
