Did you look at his Valkyrie skills, though? It would work great with the Lancer base class. Playing Valkyrie would still halfway feel like playing Lancer, but with a set of new, tank-focused abilities and weaponskills, including things like enmity-increasing combo finishers for existing Lancer combos & the passive enmity-increasing effects of Einherjar.

Vasquez definitely took class/job role mismatches into account, especially with the 3 brand-new classes and their 6 jobs.
