** ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has had classes doing roles they were never quite intended to.

** ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' has had both positive and negative examples of this, though [[Broken Base|which are which aren't always universally agreed upon]]. Primary among the positive ones would be the community turning the Ninja job into [[An Adventurer Is You|an outstanding Evasion Tank]]. Primary among the negative ones would be most single-job styles of "burn" party, especially arrowburn (rangers), the more abusive of which have been patched against. (Then there's meleeburn, but that's [[Internet Backdraft|a whole other debate]]...)
