    Interesting! Definitely not what I was expecting in terms of the primal allocation. Maybe they were just trying to throw us a curveball :P My allocation would have been,

    Titan - Tank
    Ifrit - Monk/Drg
    Levi - Ninja
    Garuda - Ranged
    Ramuh - Casting
    Shiva - Healing

    Tank because rocks, ifrit because str and fire go well together, Levi because water is malleable and smooth like ninjas, Garuda because shes all about her piercing feathers, Ramuh because well... hes literally a spellcaster and Shiva for her well intent and she uses a cane.
    These are just how I thought it would play out, not saying it should have been this way haha.

    Glad we finally have primal gear!

    Before 3.1 they put WHM idle pose to preview DRG 185 gear.

    Given that THM/BLMs are one of two classes with actual Ice elemental magic (NIN is the other), I don't know that Shiva is really a bizarre choice at all for casters. The pose does look a bit strange, but there's nothing that says a caster has to look annoyed all the time.

    In both of the Shiva (HM/EX) fights she uses Sword/Shield, Bow, and a Staff, not a cane. You literally get the Staff from the Ex drop which Staves are BLM weapons only. Both the staff she uses and the staff you get from her Ex drop are the one in the same.

    Surprisingly enough, Ramuh actually uses his WHM weapon he drops in the Ramuh Ex fight, so if that were to be the case, Ramuh could likely be the healer set, which wouldn't surprise me too much seeing as how he acts in the story-line. I could see it actually, and will be fine with this (so long as we do NOT get a beard on the front like the barding @.@) please no!

    Yet the other classes have their weapons drawn?

    'Tis true they use ice magic, but their main destructive force is fire - they also use lightning spells, so why ice when little else of the class matches it?

    My bad on the cane/staff! Shiva was still a strong reaction for me to healer gear though

    A small part of me hopes for the bearded Ramuh set haha!

    Because they're the only class that really uses Ice in any significant way. NIN does have an Ice spell, but it's essentially never used, and Shiva is presented as a caster in battle that wields powerful Ice magicks. The closest thing to that among the classes/jobs is THM/BLM. I mean, yes, they could have given caster the Ramuh set just as well (or the Ifrit one), but that would then require shuffling the other classes around.

    Honestly seems like you're putting too much thought into this, people have shown you two separate sources that calls it caster, you can believe what ever you like obviously, but they are both very viable sources. Also promotional artwork and pictures of in-game gear/characters always have out of the ordinary poses as someone posted earlier, with the DRG using the WHM /cpose as their pose in the picture. This isn't anything new for the XIV when they show promotional content for upcoming patches/expansions.

    I'm thinking (+hoping and praying) healers get Ramuh's stuff. I mean, they gave WHM his exact staff from the ex drops over a caster, which was nice.

    I don't really want to give anyone Moggle Mog stuff but...good luck Aiming peeps.

    They're also the only class that uses fire/ lightning in any significant way... and all the primals are "casters that use powerful (element) magicks", Shiva is no different. Well, actually, she is, in that she swaps weapons to a sword and bow as well as wielding magic. You could argue why not a Shiva PLD/ BRD instead with that logic.

    It's an odd choice combat-wise as well as stylistically.
