Machinist
"The war with Dravania rages on, brutal and unrelenting. With no end in sight, the Holy See grows desperate. As her dragoons lay down their lives in defense of their home, Ishgard turns to technology to protect her sons and daughters. Great cannons and ballistae now line the city walls, plucking dragons from the sky.
Following the example of Cid Garlond, who has demonstrated the potency of magitek, the Skysteel Manufactory works tirelessly on the development of advanced armaments. As new and devastating weapons are brought to the fray, a new class of champion arises to wield them―the machinist." — Game Description
Machinist is a ranged DPS job introduced in 2014 Fan Fest in Tokyo. Machinist is the gun-wielding job released in Heavensward. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Machinist does not require a base class and starts from level 30. The job's main weapon is the Firearm. Machinist uses specialized mechanical equipment such as attachments to the firearm along with deploy-able turrets. Using deployable turrets, Machinist can perform a support style role in addition to the DPS role. The turrets can attack enemies, debuff enemies or buff allies.
As a ranged dps, their most important stat is dexterity, which increases attack power.
Requirement
- Heavensward
- Access to Ishgard, where Machinist's Guild is located.
- Complete the quest Savior of Skysteel.
