Next Scouting Job?

I still say Dancer would've fit the Scouting theme better than Aiming.

Same. It's still DEX-based, would have been much better for DPS gear distribution (2:2:2:2 for striking/scouting/maiming/aiming) and glamour would have been... well, some wins and some losses by its back catalogue, but much easier to have some dancer and some ninja gear than trying to cater for all three ranged sets at once.

Still, given what we've got to work with, I like the idea of Corsair (cutlass/pistol combo maybe) as some people have suggested in previous threads. Trickster/juggler sounds interesting too.

Corair would be awesome.

Ranger obviously using a rifle or crossbow.
Or maybe Assassin, using the replaced nin Assassinate and katars.

Just a random thing to say to this; but if you *are* interested in having a crossbow, a Bard can have one via Deepshadow weapon you exchange nuts for at the Crystarium. :P

But then I would have to play the disgusting thing they replaced my Archer with. I do use the deep shadow bow when I pretend to be a ranger (once this xpac to get maxed)
But that doesn't mean ranger can't have a proper crossbow any more than the Knifelocks MCH got prevented Gunbreaker

Really they should invite the MonHun crew back and have them design a bunch of bowguns for a ranger (Hunter) class.

Yeah, Dancer really should have been Scouting.

[Darkstride]

That was a decent game. I don't really recall too much aside from being able to chain many attacks together, did they have any other defining characteristics?

I'm pretty sure Riskbreaker is just a title with no inherent ability or combat style linked to it. The game's combat was basically just reliant on properly timing your attacks.

[KageTokage]

I'd really like a Far Eastern-style monk job that wields bo staffs like the iconic Whale Whisker.

Would also provide an excuse to reuse some of the staff weaponskills from XI.

Assuming scouting implies a melee dps and not ranged, I don’t think an Arabian-themed Mystic Knight would be too far off.

I wouldn’t mind some kind of Corsair/gambler/jester/assassin type that uses a sword + ranged weapon/bombs etc.

I think the “hard” part at this point is creating a mechanic gimmick that feels fun and at least appears unique.

[AvenoMatt]

I say Corsair, Buccaneer, Pirate. However you wanna put it that is my idea of the next scouting job. Main hand would be a sword and imo they would have oGCDs or bursts with explosives and ranged attacks ie gun. Maybe even put in some Gambler into it.
