I'm talking about the overall visual aesthetic. How is a viking stylistically different from a warrior? It isn't, warrior covers both the viking and berserker aesthetics, even if you give them a warhammer which isn't any different than a great axe except for the damage type.

Why would they give us a job that looks exactly like warrior over something that has a unique and iconic appearance that is vastly more popular.
The reverse of that can be equally true though. What is Sam as a tank? Two handed sword wielder that parry's attacks. Sounds exactly like Warrior AND Dark Knight. Which is why I like the idea of Sam being a DPS as we have nothing; in melee, that is two handed as DPS... beside Dragoon.
