Here's some of my theories based on lore and general feel of the classes
Archer > Bard/Ranger
Marauder > Warrior/Berserker
Thaumaturge > Black Mage/Necromancer
Conjurer > White Mage/Geomancer
Gladiator > Paladin/Red Mage (or Rune Knight)
Pugilist > Monk/Dancer
Lancer > Dragoon/???
Musketeer > Corsair/Machinist
Saboteur > Thief/Ninja
I suggest you try TERA if you haven't, playing a Warrior is all about holding aggro and avoiding being hit and it's insanely fun, vastly more so than Lancer in my opinion.
Edit: One of the things I should point out too is that I'm almost 100% certain we won't see combinations like Archer to Musketeer, mainly because it goes against the entire way the job system works. You don't change your weapon when you change your job, you just equip an item that then unlocks new abilities you can use, so the core of each class is still represented. Any job based on Pugilist will always use fists, any job based on Archer will always use a bow, any job based on Gladiator will always use sword and shield, etc.
