That varies from set to set. Some of the designs they do seem to regard as generic and they'll shuffle around to different classes so everyone gets a version eventually - and I think this happens where the design isn't specifically for one role. The Star Velvet set is perfect for dancer.

Other designs don't get passed around, and that seems to happen when they are more role-focused. The Orthodox/Dravanian and Demon/Forgiven sets have appeared three times each now and never get switched around. Mages get the long robes, tanks get the armour.
