This isn't what I mean at all. For example, SMN/SCH have plenty of books that can be freely equipped by both of them regardless of their slant toward healing or dps'ing. What I mean is this scenario:

GLD -> PLD uses a one handed sword as its primary weapon. DRK could do the same, and they would have set of swords fitted to their particular role while also being able to equip some of a PLD's swords.

However, what if they just completely change DRK's weapon? Instead of a one handed sword, they run around with a two handed Greatsword as their primary weapon? Can the Armory system be worked with such that a DRK can do this, yet still be recognized as a Job branching from GLD?
