Gunbreaker should be Tank and DPS

[Kalocin]

I'd rather we get a Corsair or something similar as a job that uses a sword and pistol. Same idea but a new job with new gameplay and less reworking a whole job system

[Makeda]

Another thing is that dps could really use a “sword user” besides the exotic samurai, as SAM is not everyone’s taste.

Um...

You're playing a Japanese game. Might not want to call other's people's cultural elements exotic when in their house.

I really don't like multiple specs. I'd rather see them release a melee dps that uses a "gigachad big deeps gunblade" instead, should they choose to revisit the gunbreaker concept.

They did something similar with Dark Knight and Reaper stemming from the XI concept of DRK.

I don't think we currently need another melee.

Give me the Regula van Hydrus job SE, I want that Garlean Gun-Greatsword combo.

Gunbreaker is one of the most iconic Final Fantasy jobs? I can't think of a single game that had a Gunbreaker job. Even Squall's job was just a Mercenary, he just used a gunblade as a weapon.

You could probably say this for warrior/dark knight as well

Um no, not warrior. But you can say it for drk. Because we did get drk₂ which for what ever reason they called it reaper. Should really have made it drk₂ rather than rpr, because that's what it is. And yeah it would be great if drk and drk₂ worked like smn/sch so I could just level drk and pull out the scythe when I wanted to play drk₂

I mean why would dark knight ever wear a scythe...

A Gun-Machette is really exotic too imo.

I think it's a really fun class as is. If they shoe horned it into a DPS there would be a lot of upset players.

Also by this metric WAR/PLD should also be able to queue as healers.

GNB seems fine as it is.

But then locking it behind a role most players shy away from in MMOs. Not about hard to play or not, but as a tank you’re simply the actor on the stage while the dps/healer audience watches you and a lot of people don’t like this playing in the spotlight.

I still don't get it why this is a thing in FFXIV. In WoW it only sucked tanking M+ for instance, but that was because you were the only one that had to do homework before running a dungeon while DPS and healers just mindlessly followed you. In FFXIV there's absolutely nothing that makes Tank harder or put them on a spotlight as you said, their rotations are oversimplified when compared to DPS and Tank mechanics aren't hard at all after you see them the first time while in most dungeons you just run wall to wall pulling everything.

I mean, you play a White Mage, healers are always the hardest roles in games because you are not only responsible for your health and mechanics but also to compensate for any mistakes your peer might make, you should be used to being in the spotlight by now.
