Archer Hero Confirmed? New Pirate and Resistance Chars?

What I think the new pirate will look like (minus the other guy):

 Spoiler

If you ask me I bet their gameplay will mostly be like gunbound.

Ballista/mortar play-style? Yes, please!

My problem with ranged classes is that they all play the same (not that close-range are that different).
Why not have a class that doesn't fire straight forward?
For one, it would give more meaning to kick-back skills. It would also mean having to pay more attention to your positioning.
