Musketeer Needs a Job

[axemtitanium]

Doesn't look like anyone has suggested this yet so...

Musketeer should use a gunblade. I don't care what job it goes into. /end thread

Yea I think lots of ppl want a true range DD and who knows maybe it could even open up duel wielding one day.

Well, there already is a duel pistol user, the great Admiral Merlwyb. I would hope the Musketeer or at least the job for it would be able to duel weild pistols.

If Musketeer leads to Corsair, then I can see Marauder or Archer as the required sub-class ... and Corsair fills the role as the pure ranged DD job.

If Musketeer leads to Red Mage, then I can see Thaumaturge as the required sub-class ... and Red Mage fills the role as the debuff ranged DD job (mirror of Bard).

we was talking about this in the alpha forums but we kinda got no where due to the fact that we don't know if it will be just another tier from another job (archer>bard>musketeer). or a whole starter job. I think that's what they are gonna do with the summoner class tree. so far it looks like that arcanist is a class tier from a summoner but we really don't know but they should have it already since merlwyb had ranged weapons. im guessing shes a musketeer

As long as we're just posting what we'd like to see, I'd love to see the base class musketter as a DD Enfeeb and DoT class. WS and abilities that weaken the enemy and do damage.

For the first job I'd like to see corsair that adds gambling aspects to further reduce the enemy or add buffs to your party.

If it were to get a second job later on >.> puppetmaster. Why? because pistols from a distance and up close pet just sounds awesome to me.

Actually shes an Admiral

We used to talk about Musketeer a lot in our shell. We always figured that since ARC/BRD is sorta supporty AoE ranged, then MSK should be like a ranged PGL/MNK. Lots of damage on a single target from far away.

I'd be ok with it.

that would be freakin sweet.

Remember, Naoki Yoshida is the guy that turned Archers into Bards(?!)

yoshi isn't "the guy who turned archers into bards"

it's been a thing ever since dungeons and dragons. and UO did it. and RO. and other games i'm forgetting and too lazy to try to remember.

but, you know. go on posting idiotic drivel about whatever. you will anyway.

I don't see the logic in the necessity of another class at launch just because there'd be an imbalance of the starting battle classes per city. Gridania and Ul'dah both had 3 battle classes each at 1.0 launch and that didn't stop them from only putting one battle class in Limsa Lominsa at the start.

I do. WHy should the other 2 cities get more options than Limsa? Not to mention, in the grand scheme of things, given the amount of time they have had to work on the game, how hard is it really to throw another class in there? Especially considering it won't even need to launch with a job attached to it right away. Also, your argument that they didn't in 1.0 is moot. I mean, seriously, look how well that worked out for them?

The fact that you are from Limsa and willing to utter such a blasphemous statement as the one above leads me to believe you are really an elvaan spy from hippy ass gridania. Beat it hippy (please dont take this last part to seriously Oro )
