What Roles would you like for Samurai and Red Mage?

[Shippuu]

And I don't agree with the "why should melee dps have to share gearsets?" argument. Bard also had their own gearset until Machinist came along. Casters share gearsets. Healers share gearsets (and usually share design with casters, the two being palette swaps with each other). Tanks share gearsets. Why should melee DPS have their own unique gearsets?

There's nothing wrong with DPS sharing gearsets. I only commented on why specifically must DRG share their gearset as the person mentioned "We need more mail wearing dps". And I simply asked...why? Why specifically DRG? Why not MNK? or Nin? If Samurai get added as a dps, they will most certainly be sharing a dps gearset with some existing job.

Gearset sharing does become a problem when you mix roles though. Such as having a dps wearing heavy fending armor where now they compete against tanks (Who already have to compete against each other) for gear.

I've passed the point where I don't care whether Samurai is a Tank or a DPS, but I'd like to point out that when people say "Share armour with Dragoon" they're typically talking about lower levels, where there are four basic armour types. Tank Armour, DPS Armour, Caster/Healer Armour, and Dragoon/Lancer Armour. Not the Top level Combat gear where the Tanks all share, the Casters both share, the healers all share, the Ranged DPS both share, and the Melee DPS all get their own.

The lower level armors don't really matter though. Half the time DRG is wearing the same "Disciple of War" armor everyone else is. The ones that are heavier armor for DRG are few and far between. And anything post 50 is all specific to each jobs, there is none of that stuff. This will be a future job, and likely start at a high level again, possible even starting at level 50 if the level cap gets raised in the next expansion. Meaning a job being able to wear that gear is pointless cause it could start at a level beyond where that gear exists.
