How a slight change could open GLA for a future DPS job

[Reynhart]

It's more to give GLA a DPS focused ability. Careful stats allocation and slighty better weapons could complete a useful DPS at low-level. Past lvl30, job skills can be enough for any class to become a good DPS.
By the way, before lvl30, a revamped GLA would only have Shield Stance, Flash and Provoke as "not" DPS skills. Like a Pugilist has Second Wind, Featherfoot and Fist Of Earth.

A little calculation, then :
PGL has 7 WS before level 30. Considering every WS used from the right position/stance, we have :
Booshine (150) + True Strike (190) + Snap Punch (180) + Haymaker (170) + Touch Of Death (270) + Twin Snakes (140) + Arm Of The Destroyer (50) = 1150

GLA has 6 WS at the same level, and couting each WS used in the right combo, we have :
Fast Blade (150) + Savage Blade (200) + Riot Blade (230) + Shield Lob (120) + Shield Bash (110) + Rage Of Halone (260) = 1070

PGL is obviously higher but not by "that" much, especially if you give GLA a damage bonus stance. And since GLA will surely spam Rage Of Halone combo, it seems GLA can attain higher "potency" than PGL pre-lvl30, even now.
(Of course base stats clearly overshadow base potency)

Why'd I want a DPS job for GLA ? Because having only one job for a class is pretty stupid (Give us PLD from the start), and having a second tank job is useless (If I want to tank with a Sword&Shield, I'll play PLD)
