How Many Would Have Rather Seen RDM than SMN

[Valiant]

i cant wait really.. i dont mind leveling a new class.. ill take arc for smn anyday... summoning..(i like the new looks for the primals so far.) thats what i have been waiting for.. though in 11 smns were rather OP .. not only was i one but have seen several endgame summoners as smn/whm healing groups just as good as any whm... they might have only leviathan and gaurda for their main aoe heals but they had the smaller ones as well plus most cures... enhance spells almost as good as an RDM.. etc.. OP in my opinion and dont forget the level 30 missions 3 summoners could easily defeat the final boss with their 2 hour ability with everyone else as healer/tank keeping them alive and safe. I dont mind smns with healing, enhancing, enfeebles and such but i hope their main focus is damage and nothing more

Not really, although Jobs were never originally planned in FFXIV's design (Tanaka even said he wanted to keep away from the traditional FF jobs in FFXIV) there was a musketeer class designed for the Alpha of 1.0. Musketeer even has an unused guild in Limsa and looking at the types of weapons GLA uses there are no rapier, epee, or other fencing type weapons in GLA's arsenal or in the game at the moment.

Besides that, functionally GLA to RDM does not work in the slightest. ...

Good observation and I agree with you.

First of all Musketeer would not be Rdm as a job, why is that because of gun's. I think Musketeer would be corsair XD!

Fencer would be RDM for sure or mystic mage.

This is so true, even though Rdm was my bloodport job in FFxi, i would unlock/ level it in xIv if it was different. I mean, come on! Gun-Blades! Bring it! Guns & cannons, bring it! I want to blow stuff up with artillery again!

The fencing weapon would have a piercing/ slashing behavior in battle.
