Wouldn't make much sense but it can be done.

For armor designs everyone is pretty much a visual step away from how they are depicted because the artifact armor aren't what everyone wears and even then, with glamours there are dark knights wearing swim trunks or bikinis. Most importantly there is a set of tank gear that looks like something a Red Mage would wear which is Sharlayan Custodian's armor set.


"Glamour" is not a valid excuse. And a single armor set, from a dungeon where every job has the same appearance of the armor just palette swapped is a very bad example, especially when the same could be said about SAM tank and the Yasha/Asuran Fending armor (Which wasn't a universally used appearance like the Sharlayan stuff from the Library.)


Red Mage seems an obvious choice for a DPS that would use DEX gear. There are far more sets from that category of armor that would fit them far better, as well as a dex making more sense as a stat for them than VIT+STR.
