New Jobs/Classes for the future maybe?

My bets with some sense for 3.0 are:

Let's break this down

Lan30/War15 -> Samurai TANK

Armoury limitations, Samurai will always use katana and lancer will always use spear. Won't happen.

Cnj30/BLM15 -> Blue mage caster DPS

Skill/trait limitation. CNJ is very heavily invested in healing and WHM already has THM as a tertiary class.

Blm30/Cnj15 -> Oracle HEALER

Skill/trait limitation. Opposite of CNJ as above.

Gla30/War15 -> Barbarian or Knight MELE DPS

Plausible, however it'd be sword and shield and it shares the same faults as CNJ, that GLA is invested quite heavily in cooldown suite it has. GLA already uses MRD as tertiary class.

War30/Blm15 -> Dark knight MELE DPS

Armoury limitation, secondary class worthlessness. Unless Dark Knight will be using axes, it will not come from MRD. Disciples of War cannot use skills by Disciples of Magic. That being said, THM only gives Swiftcast, Surecast, and Blizzara..which would be worthless to DRK.

Mnk30/War15 -> Black belt MELE DPS

Monk is Black Belt.

Arc30/Rog15 -> Ranger RANGED DPS

There is already a can of worms open about this particular class. Archer can't feasibly house Ranger due to the nature of their skills from 1 all the way to 50.

Rog30/Mnk15 -> Dancer MELE DPS

The only thing that's possible. Although, coming from ROG would be weird since it branches straight into Ninja.

Stuff, see above.

There has been talk of the armory and job system being reworked for the 3.0

He did say it was speculation for 3.0, so throwing out most of his ideas because they wouldn't work in 2.0 seems hasty.

Not that I think many of those ideas were any good but you have to bear in mind that we don't really have any idea of just how much the current system is going to be changed.
