Good post.
My question is that, where in the lore does it say that a Guardian HAD to have a class? The classes are a limitation set by the Guardians, The Tower, The Speaker. The classes are meant to be set by the individuals ideas and ideals, their function and role.
And yet we have potential evidence else where that abilities are not limited by this mindset.
Felwinter is commonly depicted as a Warlock, buy one who learned to use Titan associated powers.
Perhaps for those Guardians that live on the edge, are more free thinking, perhaps they are able to step outside the pre set walls of the Vanguard and the Tower.
Who is to say that just because a Hunter devised the Golden Gun approach that a skilled Warlock might not one day learn to do so too.
Why must Dredgen Yor be of any one class? If he was one of the greatest Titans to live, perhaps there was a point when he thought, let's mix things up a little.
Real world equivalent, martial arts. It's all well and good mastering one style, but a true warrior understands and acknowledges it's flaws. They then seek out alternative styles and concepts. They develop. Long gone are the days of one style for life. Welcome to the post Bruce Lee world.
Maybe Dredgen Yor is Destiny's Bruce Lee.

Why would a warlock ever want gg when we have stormtrance

Variance. Fun. To prove they can? Why would a Hunter want to wear a Warlock dress or a Titan towel? ;)

Abilities and clothing are two completely different subjects

True, different subjects. But same argument. Unnecessary boundaries are for children and small minds. And Trump ;)

Disciple, you are indeed correct- -with saying Trump has a small mind. Class abilities are confined. Yor is undoubtedly less powerful or significant than Saint-14, Osiris, or many others, and none have yet managed or tried to go into a territory of two classes. Even if one were to do this, they would be weak, as the purpose of classes is to hone your skill into one area, concentrate light, give it a straight path. With a non-bound path, it would be weak and helpless, not strong. A skilled warlock could try to learn golden gun, but would end up with something different. It would be something of channeling energy in a large area, just like storm trance or nova bomb. But hunters embody a weapon with light, which warlocks cannot do. This is why they succeed in making a golden gun, concentrating damage to a single target. Notice that no warlock skill does this. (Stormtrance chains to other enemies)
