Lancer : New Job Tank

[Mhaeric]

Even so, Templar is still "holy warrior with a spear" compared to "holy warrior with a sword", even if there are some differences in the support spells they bring (Templar is more "anti-caster", as opposed to "light and dark", whereas Paladin is a more standard holy warrior). Try as you might to play upon the differences in their spell list, there is still the fundamental problem insofar as they're both still using the same fundamental theme of holy warrior.

It is more complex than just holy warrior with <insert weapon>. And I think you're underestimating the degree of variability that can exist within a 'holy warrior' framework. As an example, the Monk could be considered to be a sort of holy warrior given their chi theme. Being 'Holy' doesn't even need to inform the abilities necessarily, since it could just be a lore element. I.e. Templars could simply be knights that have dedicated themselves to the religious body of Ishgard, which would be more than enough to consider them holy warriors even if every one of their abilities were purely physical attacks like Bonecrusher. All this really boils down to is naming and animating the mechanics to suit the lore in some way. What those mechanics are is the most important part, the naming and animations provide the interest and the flavour.
