The following example is based on what we know so far with some speculation needed to fill the holes:


Thorontur hits Conjurer rank 30. Thorontur is really happy, because Thorontur is often left out of behest so it took considerable time to hit 30.

Thorontur now has access to the White Mage and Black Mage specialisations.

Thorontur can now continue to rank up Conjurer as WHM or BLM, or stay as CON based on situational needs or preference (specialisations don't rank up individually since they're specialisations of the main base class, they get skills/gears from quests and lock certain cross-class skills).

But Thorontur, pissed from missing a fifth behest in a row, decides to go rank up Pugilist.

If SE listens to this request, that means Thorontur can set Black Mage conjurer specialisation on his rank 1 Pugilist ?

That doesn't make much sense to me (and to Thorontur). He can already set Conjurer base skills on his Pugilist. The Black Mage skills and Artifact armor will prolly be exclusive anyway.


They're just giving an identity to the existing base classes, they're not creating completely new adavanced jobs à la FFXI.
Thorontur will probably still be leveling CON after unlocking the WHM and BLM jobs, being that there's no indication of jobs being anything other than title augments with exclusive traits/abilities that Thorontur will be able to equip/unequip at will.

As for Pugilist specializing as Red Mage? Well why not? If you focus on the enfeebling side of RDM, then you have a "dirty fighter" class.
