Warrior focuses more on damage, less so on tanking (though still capable of it, paling in comparison to Paladin for pure 'tank'ness). You mix in what ever special things you remove from the classes and gave to Warrior (I assume this will be happening since so many classic jobs have their abilities spread EVERYWHERE right now).

For Mages... Mages are kind of a mess right now. CON is our BLM and WHM while THM is... what ever got squeezed to the side. Arcanist is likely our candidate for Geomancer, so maybe Scholar for THM? I wouldn't be surprised if SE suddenly or gradually shifts abilities in and out from classes to job specifics.

Reason why they should not allow you to use other type of wep that does not make sense for your job is.

Mage would use a hand to hand would you really be attacking? nope your back line job.

If your a lancer and using hand to hand wep what the point? if your a pricing type? Same goes for monk using a Lancer wep when monk are about blunt DMG.

So Monk should only use Staff that look like polearm type and Hand to hand. Let's say samurai come out then they can use GK,Polearm,Bow. But allowing everyone to use any type of wep even if does not make sense with your job i find the dumbest idea and there a topic about that and they said that not how it going to be.

They should allow job to wear more then 1 type of wep only if they release the other following Wep that is missing from the game and should only make sense to that job to be using it. Monk --> Hand to hand ---> Long Staff PLD---> Sword / great sword.

But also i think that wont even happen due to the game being wep=class which = job if they change that rule then i see us wearing more then one type of wep.
