The precedent has existed for as long as Final Fantasy XIV existed.

e're getting our new DPS in two days. Nowhere has it been said that we'd be getting ANOTHER damage dealer class in 3.0, only one tank and one healer.
Which is why if the gunner is a healer, it would pretty much throw any "LORE!" excuses SE will use out the window from here on out. Nothing says there will be only 2 jobs, every FFXI expansion that introduced jobs introduced 3 or more jobs except for WoTG and SoA.
