New Classes/Job Ideas?

[Caylex]

I was thinking SE should add in new classes/jobs. Here's my thoughts, with Thief (THF) as a new class. All Classes have an extra job, like the arcanist does.

GLA/CON=PLD
GLA/THF=Dark Knight (DRK) DPS
-Uses abilities drawing from their own HP.

THM/ARC=BLM
THM/ACN=Blue Mage (BLU) DPS
-Learns abilities from battles in the wild.

PUG/LNC=MNK
PUG/MRD=Onion Knight (ONI) Tank
-Has the potential for the best stats in game.

ACN/CON=SCH
ACN/THM=SMN

MRD/GLA=WAR
MRD/LNC=Berserker (BSK) DPS
-Capitalizes on the berserk skill and increases DPS.

THF/PUG=Ninja (NIN) DPS
-Ninjas. Kill things, throw sharp stuff, be awesome.

THF/ARC=Corsair (CRS) DPS
-Take chances, kill everything.

CON/ACN=WHM
CON/THM=Red Mage (RDM) DPS
-Jacks of all trades. LV50 Dualcast, anyone?

ARC/PUG=BRD
ARC/ACN=Beastmaster (BST) DPS
-Captures and controls wild monsters.

LNC/MRD=DRG
LNC/GLA=Samurai (SMR) Tank
-Throws gil and kills stuff.

Anyone else have thoughts for classes/jobs?

Aren't there always about a million threads about new classes in every MMO?

I think there needs to be another tanking class for starters... probably some kind of barbarian that dual wields, as that would not only appeal to a huge number of players, but would also fill what I see as a void for 2H dual-wielding classes (I'd simultaneously broaden the weapon types usable by Warriors to like... 2H swords and 2H maces and mauls, etc. The 'just axes' thing is silly).

I might also add some kind of shape-shifting class of some kind, although I would go to great lengths to avoid making it too similar to WoW 'jack of all trades' druids. There's also room for another healy type class.

One thing that might be neat is to give all base classes two advanced jobs to choose from. So a Gladiator might get to become either a Paladin or a Knight... or something like that... Lancer -> Dragoon or Pikeman, etc.
