Shogun Tank Request Thoughts

I do understand and am sorry for those who wanted SAM to be tank. (I'll still stick to my Mage-Bard) Yet I would also consider to choose different "FF tactics jobs" to be tank rather than just reverting DPS SAM into a Tank version. You could actually use the chance to ask for jobs like Knight, Templar, Hell Knight/Neverseer.

Indeed, however in Japanese, Palidain is called Knight, so im not sure a Knight job would come. Other then that however, it is for sure that the next Job would not be Shogun, but something else. But I just want to raise awareness for the devs to know, that some people would still like to see a Shogun Job, that Yoshida mentoned before.

Oh I see, kinda thought about Paladin being "Knight like" to be honest. Anyway, I like the idea of a Shogun and being tank. But I think, it would still need something to be special about... So people dont compare it all the time as SAM dps and so on. What for a weapon would Shogun wield? How would its Artifact gear look like and would it look different from Samurai?

Yet I do remember that the Dev said that they do not want to do 3 jobs in a expansion with that small group... And they definetly wouldnt do a new job like NIN in the middle of an expansion cycle. ><

its not impossible, but its not probable, at least no time soon. I wouldn't even think its coming 5.0 or 6.0.

Not gonna happen.

And from the saltiest of the tank community

Deal
With
It

Since tha Katana and Scabbard is taken. It could be the Oudachi or Nodachi. Maybe perhaps a Katana and Wakizashi, but that would seem more DPS like. But tanks seems to, at this time, lean more to heavy weapons rather then light weapons. That being said, I hope they dont choose the Kanabou or Tetsubou.

You can choose to do nothing and that would be one way of dealing with the situation. But for me I want to try and change something. As of now nothing will change, So I aim for the future. Even if its one so far away still.

I can assure you, youre not the saltiest. I'm considering either quitting the game, or quit tanking to main sam. like ive said before sam being a tank was the reason I kept playing.

well hopefully they give a big f u to Yoshi so we can a samurai tank. I really have no interest in what tank they add besides sam. all this talk about balancing the tanks we already have wont change how they play at all tbh.

Since Jobs are defined by weapon, if they could make an armoured Samurai Tank, under the name Shogun, with a different weapon type (Naginata, perhaps?) then I suppose it could work. However, considering how Yoshi didn't want to release SAM directly after NIN in 3.0, such a Job concept would likely only be considered from 6.0 onwards.

Hey, I would love to see PLD be able to drop a shield and add a second sword and become a DPS call.... Sword Saint? But it won't happen here. Once a vibe is set they seem to keep to it. Sorry man.
