Oh I am pleased with the way these are assigned then. There will be some cool looking acheron tanks around -- me included when I can eventually get all of the drops after many weeks :/

I think the Acheron set looks to be more a MNK/NIN set than a tank set, what with all the visible skin on it, and the two "full armor" Guardian sets being the Tank and DRG sets.
There is nothing saying that when two DoW classes share an armor set model that it must be the melee dps who share models. Dragoon has shared a fair number of armor models with the tanks already (the Dragoon i90 PvP set is even a recolor of the Brayflox NM tank set).
You can see the MNK on the right of the screen, with the allagan weapon.



Still, aside from those rare examples, tank gear has almost always been distinguishable from DDs whereas it's not be quite so much between the DDs themselves. Further, it makes sense for the Acheron gear to be tanks and the Guardian for DDs if you consider what weapons they wield in their appearances. Amon, though... could have easily been caster armor given his XIV outing. But given the fabulousness of it it couldn't not be for Bards.There is nothing saying that when two DoW classes share an armor set model that it must be the melee dps who share models.

The armor the Roe is wearing made me think monk because it has a tiger-like appearance, and the monk relic is tiger fists. But I can see the theory of it being tank gear, too.
I really hope that orange-colored amon-gear looking one is not for bard because Im tired of being given frilly looking crap to wear from dungeons! >.<!


You think the tank set looks too bulk for monk, but the melee set isn't? It's heavy armor. How could you not think that is bulkier than a Roman gladiator-esque armor set. I don't think any of them give off a monk vibe, but the tank set is definitely the closest.I agree with this. I think the set on the Roe is a little too bulky for a Monk. Plus, why would the DRG and tank sets look so much alike? They're practically identical.
ETA: I would laugh really hard if in the end we learn that the obvious bard outfit is for healers or something. Or maybe that's the monk outfit!
The first one looks like Acheron's gear so I'd guess that's the Tank one?
That's probably my favourite of the sets that I've seen, at least from this screenshot.



Looking forward to this CT and the new sets they look real nice to own.

You can see the bard wearing the Amon/Hein hat in the screenshot by lololink.
it's basically confirmed that from left to right is Tank, Healer, Mnk/Drg, Bard, Caster, Drg/Mnk
