Would you rather have Corsair and Geomancer instead of Viper and Pictomancer?

Ehhh I kinda prefer what we got over Corsair and Geomancer. I can see the appeal of Corsair as I am also sick of sword classes but scouting gear being dedicated to one job kinda sucks and I'd rather not have a class that is RNG based on luck draws, I feel that'd work better as a limited job. It would also be hard to justify it as a melee class.

For geomancer or green mage it's also kinda hard, we just got SGE with EW so adding another healer when the last caster job was RDM, which came out 6 years ago because both are healer coded. Geomancy specifically is already stated to be Hingan white magic and I can see the appeal of a caster that turns white magic into offense focus instead of support, the issue is THAT'S RDM, that's the entire point of RDM who focused on using the more offensive aspects of white magic to create a balance with black magic.

Honestly if we do get geomancer I'd rather that become the first tank caster instead of another healer or a dps solely because it'd be way more interesting and we have the perfect class teacher for that with Gosetsu showing us a new way to use magic and strength training.

Thinking about it, GEO would probably work as a Limited Job of sorts. Your attacks and spells change depending on where you're currently standing + the weather.

no and no

We already have a gun job(we can argue getting a "techy job") and caster don't need a lv50 whm with a dps rotation as a new job.
While I didn't especially want pictomancer, at least this one feels/look different.

Tbf MCH is the techy job. A good portion of skills are kinda just not gun focused. A pure gunslinger like dual pistols would be fun but even then there's other choices for a ranged dps like a class focused around throwing weapons like potion-based grenades or traps. That'd be fun.

More like Mil-Industry.

I've always like the idea of a "chemist" phys ranged with launched weaponry.

But MCH is far from Techy, the most techy it gets, is its LB3.(and the queen. The rest is just Aether Light/Lit Drones, and Heated Weapons of war.)

[The techy-est of them all is SGE TBH, and that's just on the nouliths.]
