Apparently Limsa has two DoM guilds...

Based on a poll about jobs, they had narrowed the questions down to three possibilities:

As game designers, of course we are doing our best, but for example…

Of the below "classes" that will be implemented, which do you prefer?

Scout-type class (Thief, etc.)
Caster class (Ranged DD and Debuff)
Pet class (Pet user and Debuff)

I think it would be good to hear feedback on this type of stuff.
Of course, we need to keep battle balance in mind, so whether we can really implement 100% of what is in the survey is a separate problem. However, we would really like to hear feedback that we can use for our long term plans.

Scout-type class (Thief, etc.)
Pet class (Summoner, etc.)
Caster class (Ranged DD and Debuff)... Musketeer for class, Gun Mage/Red Mage for Job??

It would make perfect sense for this to evolve into a Gun Mage based on this information. But I would not discount a debuff rich role such as Red Mage also capable of filling the Job role.

For those unfamiliar with the job, it has many properties of a Blue Mage, but with a ranged weapon.

With the only collectable "carbon" (major gunpowder component) in FFXIV originating from bomb ash, bullets could naturally have magical properties right out the gate.

It also makes me curious what other people think on the matter.

I will continue to update the OP based on ideas evolving around this class concept.
