How a slight change could open GLA for a future DPS job

We're getting off-topic.

Answer me this: do you really think it makes sense for GLA to gain a second job that is categorized as a DPS--whose main function is to DPS, when that would invalidate so many of its tanking-focused abilities?
Or do you just, personally, want it, for whatever reason(s) (ease of development, flavor, etc.)?

This won't and shouldn't happen. As mentioned GLD is far too tank focused, MRD would be more likely to get a dps job since it's skills translate better to a dps but even so they are still more tank focused.

The devs have already mentioned not liking how jobs turned out with SMN/SCH so they have no plans to do it like that anymore although yoshi has mentioned there could be an overhaul to the system at some point but until it's confirmed and we know more about it the addition of jobs by themselves has been shelved.

Besides that wouldn't a new class with a job be more interesting anyway? That means newer abilities and mechanics could be formed, if you just add a job working off an older classes abilities it could become a stale system.

Um...what?

Nobody was discussing cross-class. I think you misunderstood something.
