So basically in Katana's words "if new class is tank they must use the shared gear that already exists so I can gear all my tanks up at the same time because I raid and gearing up quickly and efficiently is very convenient for me and my group". Which all that gear is....heavy armor?

Who knows maybe SAM and RDM will both be DPS jobs. And get stuck with Maiming and Casting Gear. Or make RDM a healer. Stuck with healing gear and then suddenly that red mage is always getting the color white on it instead of the thematic red. And if it's casting everything is Black.

And if a new artifact set comes out in the next expansion the jobs will release and you'll end up waiting 3 months on top of that to grind out more tomestones for an additional month just to have a thematic look to the Red Mage or Samurai job. And that's pretty fucking sad.

Oh but dye and glamour. So who cares!
