Red Mage, again?

All future jobs aren't going to have a base class IIRC, just start off as a level 30+ job.

Probably.

Them doing it for Heavensward doesn't mean they will always do it, unless you've some source I missed or forgot about.

That said, if it isn't an "extra Job" It probably wouldn't be switching from DoW to DoM. They treat Jobs as the same thing as Classes for the purpose of categorizing them.

I remember people saying classes were just a relic from 1.x, but due to the fairly limited development time for 2.0 they couldn't get rid of them entirely. Even so, it's safe to assume they'll be gone permanently, they're nothing but wasted development time. They could have been interesting, having both classes and their job version be useful as a 2nd specialization from WoW or something, but they didn't go that route. That paired up with all 3 new jobs being classless... I'd say it's pretty safe to assume. There's a possibility we'd get more jobs tied to existing classes if they ever figure it out the Scholar and Summoner issue, but I doubt it.

Just curious, cuz I love my butterfly wrangler ... What's the issue with scholar/summoner?

I wouldn't discount classes being released in the future, they did so with rogue/ninja and that was pretty late into ARR development cycle. It may however be less common.
