Required Class/Rank failed - Can we have Optimal Rank and Favoured Class back?

So a level 50 conjurer should be able to wear the same gear as a level 50 gladiator?

Yes but without the same benefits. The gladiator gear should do very little for the Conjurer. Something cross-class like that, and not even of similar Disciple should render it mostly useless for them.
