Would you prefer if Machinist focused more on the Gunner/Tools aspect?

[CKNovel]

I would kill for a skill where you whip out a sniper rifle for a short cast powerful line AoE attack, as someone who's favourite spec from GW2 is Deadshot, I'd give an arm and a leg for any ounce of a sniper job in FFXIV.

For SHB I was also expecting a sniper after seeing Mustadio.
We got the shotgun, why not a sniper rifle in the future? Maybe as a Hypercharge finisher?
