    I mean the Conjurer on that list was more of BLM/WHM combo than it currently is. A lot of it's elemental magic was thrown on to THM in 1.21. ACN with it's dots now is closer to what THM originally was than THM is now. Musketeer and MCH are still separate entities in the game. That list was pruned before beta. The implemented classes were changed on 1.21 and then they were furthered altered for 2.0. I don't think it holds up any more as a way of looking at upcoming jobs. If anything, the similarities in weapons are because as the second Final Fantasy MMO, SE isn't going to entirely reinvent the wheel when it comes to names for classes or weapons that have been in the series.
