That's a huge "if", not a "when", and I'm pretty sure it is never going to happen (at least until the game has entered its death throes and the devs become willing to do just about anything to keep their players). Any extra job that ARC gets is going to have to be DPS because there's nothing else that ARC could turn into without turning a number of its abilities into completely and utterly new abilities (at which point, if it does happen, sets precedent for any job being able to be turned into anything because you could just rebuild the basic class abilities completely to suit your needs) at which point you run into the inevitable issue of one job rendering the other redundant. There isn't a support primary role and BRD is explicitly balanced against the DPS capabilities of the other classes (it has the lowest DPS standing still, but that's because it has the absolute best DPS in any scenario that involves movement because they don't have to stay in melee or stand still for extended periods) so, if they *did* get a new job, it would be *required* to have better DPS than BRD to offset the "loss" of support, which would put it outright above the effectiveness of the other classes (since it still has all of the mobility that BRD has).
