I think Beastmaster would do good with Crossbows and a melee pet. The pet does not have to be fancy, so long as it focus on your target and auto attacks, and the player does it's own flavored ranged physical DPS rotation.

As for my other "wish lists"
Healer: Necromancer (hey, at least it would be thematic that they raise the dead mid fight, I'm sure you can use some dark ritual magics to heal.) Weapon: harvesting hook
Magic DPS: Geomancer (I know, even I would like it to be a healer... but would it not be cool to have an earth/wind focused dedicated offensive mage?) Weapon, of course: bells.

These 3 leave us with 4 jobs on every sub-category. Beyond that:

Berserker? (Melee DPS, has a "rage" bar that fills up with every single action and depletes with inaction, the fuller it is, the more damage the Berserker inflicts) Weapon: 2 handed hammer.
Shaman? (Healer that calls upon vegetation and other forces of nature to heal and aid the party, they could wield some sort of totems as weapons.) Weapon: a drum.
