If you diversify those roles than you're going to make certain jobs more effective than others which really is the way it should be. Every job should possess a specific role and have its own strengths and weaknesses but that would promote elitism. So the jobs have to be as simple and vanilla as possible and all jobs in each category must perform exactly the same just with a different weapon in hand.
But these would be skills for the already elite/high level.
