Nothing is stopping you.

 

You can be a

Blood arrow

Ebonsong

Druid

Enlightened

 or any other combo that involved archery with a healing spec like Vitalism or Songcraft. Your 3rd class choice depends on how you like to play.

Also you can't use all skills from your classes. Have to pick and choose between the skills you want to use which further defines your style.

It is a very open system.  Here is a link to possiblities  http://archeage.info/classes

There are a few important things to be aware of. Your weapon I think gives bonus to specific things. There are tons of stats including healing, magic damage etc...  

here is a good link a bit on that.   http://archeage.gamepedia.com/Equipment#Equipped_Weapon_Type_Buffs_.281.2.29

 

also there are combos that open up depending on what skills you use with other skills. Both within a specific class and cross class. You will have to play around with alts for a bit to really get it down. There is alot to it.

Also anyone can use and weapons, music instruments, armors.....no restrictions. They all have benefits as well that are important to your gameplay and style.

I should also add....for every build there is a counter build mostly. No build is all powerful. If you are really great at healing your points and weapon are more focused on that and therefor your damage output won't be as high.

This is what makes the trinity style systems work. With the right group balances you can do quite well. It will take time to get good at it all. But it's a rewarding system both in PvP and PvE.
