Seriously. What is stopping you from queuing into content as Dark Knight if you so desire? Everything outside Savage, Extremes and 24 mans are entirely faceroll. Let's look at the two dungeons released when 3.4 was fresh. Both were set at a minimal ilvl of 210. A set of non-augmented lore gear already far exceeded those requirements. Only Savage provides any real hindrance in terms of difficulty, though even it can be overcome without optimal gear. In fact, a common tactic for statics is to have their DPS gear first, their tanks second and healers last. Therefore, many tanks and healers reached or even cleared A11 or A12 before coming close to 270. What you're asking for has already been included with relevant crafted gear. Allowing for unlimited tomestone farming completely destroys any need for 250 sets, and subsequently, the need to run content associated with it.

So go, play whatever job you want. It doesn't need to be BiS or have a matching ilvl to your main. I'll be playing both Dragoon and Red Mage when Stormblood launches. One will be weaker but that sure isn't going to stop me taking them both into dungeons, extremes and maybe even savage when we do off-job runs.
