Personally I think it can be a DEX job due to synergy with Archer. I'm expecting RGE 30 + ARC 15 to unlock NIN, with the other subclass for additional skills being MNK.
Yes but as stated as soon as musketeer comes in, in 3.0 you encounter the exact same problem with there being 3 classes that share DEX accessories. (Barring any inclusion of extra melee dps added in during the expansion)

And it's inevitable that there will be more Melee jobs than ranged, based purely on the weapons available to the Devs when it comes to choosing jobs. So no matter what at some point that balance is going to shift in melee's favour, so why fight it now?
