Machinist

The Machinist class, representing the zodiac Gemini, can inflict a stable, consistent stream of damage. Even with level changes and debuffs, Machinists can continue to inflict considerable damage. This may be due to their multiple weapon,s such as their guns, hand bombs, and measures. As they are a Ranged class, they will be one of your main sources of damage against flying creatures.

Another asset they have is their ability to wield Time Magic. As most bosses require the Reflect spell, the Machinist plays an important role as a support. The best character fit for this class is Balthier.
