Whoops Square-Enix! Class and Job reveal for ARR.

I've heard it suggested that Musketeer would be like the ranged Monk. High damage against a single target kind of thing.

I'd be ok with that.

Should be fine as long as it also has some AoE that makes sense for a musket. Something like a scattershot that fans out in a cone in front of the musketeer, or explosive shells that do damage to a mob and any other mobs within 5 yalms of it. Roster > Niche, and yes that also applies to DPS.

Just saw Musketeer hit XIVPads and I am so excited!

Looks like they gave up on deleting these threads XD

Its probably archer with a gun. Archer as a class is high single-target dps, while bard adds the AoE potential. Musketeer will probably have crap aoe potential but will expand upon that single-target dmg.

I think musketeer's AoE, if limited, should have something attached to it. I'm particularly fond of scattershot having a snare attached to it, for example. I just wouldn't want Musketeer to get too screwed over in boss fights due to lack of AoE.

Those pages WERE ACTUALLY up for a short time but were taken down. I did see the arcanist page on the site not long after this thread came up, but it was taken down moments later, suggesting it was posted earlier than intended by mistake.

That was a lazy photoshop job iirc.

And also.. there's only 1 Class and 1 Job that is "Coming Soon"

Not to mention that sounds too much like WoW's hunter class, except limited to chocobos as pets.
