The only way I see them making Samurai a tank is if that becomes their solution to Warrior basically being mandatory for raiding. In that sense, it would be PLD vs. DRK and WAR vs. SAM for whoever you bring. Can't say how exactly I feel about that idea since it doesn't solve the problem so much as just introduces another overpowered job to "balance" it.
Why do people want SAM to be a tank!?

People want jobs to be all kinds of things, and while some of those things are stupid and clearly bad ideas (like a primarily melee red mage would have been, much less even more outlandish and idiotic ideas like RDM Tank), Samurai would probably be perfectly represented either way.Quote:

12-24-2016, 07:58 PMAlacranFor my part i feel it cheapens the fantasy of a Samurai if your hiding behind someone else to face the enemy head on. They were celebrated warriors of unparalleled skill, unflinching loyalty, and bound by honor and tradition but here DPS enthusiast would have them seen letting their bird TANK for them while jockeying for position behind the enemy like back stabbing cowards. i understand it's a game, but that's what makes it so confusing, you only want to look like the hero but not actually do the job. Samurai means to serve, not slayer, killer, executioner, butcher, rampage, reaper, reaver, or ravage... It's about the ideal isn't it? To stand before what others run from and challenge death?Quote:
