It would also give the game a little more diversity and a bit more freedom of choice. What does everyone else think?
I generally love hybrid classes, so I like the idea in general.
It would require a major redesign of the whole class/job system (and the whole gear system) though, and the game has so far moved in the opposite direction - away from any hybrid stuff, making each job good at only one thing.
In short - nice idea that will never get implemented.
