So what gear is Red Mage gonna wear? Because part of the design decisions by SE is that tanks share gear which offers the benefit of being able to switch between any of the 3 tanks whenever needed, encouraging people to play those jobs for ease of gearing alone (3 for the price of 1 etc.) Is it going to wear it's own unique tier of armor? Not only would that pollute the loot pools even more than they already are, but SE already re-uses a ton of assets across the role armor, making a new tier of armor just for 1 job is a lot of extra work. If those aren't the options, then what, it's going to share gear with a DPS job? You think it's a good idea for tanks and dps to compete for gear? And if that's not going to happen, then what, RDM is going to wear the heaviest armor in the game which would be a pretty big visual step away from how it's usually always depicted?

Things that need to be considered.
