That would be really interesting. I would love to see that.

Third eye doesn't absorb magic, and also the most problematic attacks are aoe which ignore third eye. Edit. Third eye doesn't absorb aoe magic.

Actually no. Only war, pld and drk have access to non-job specific heavy armor.

Just like every other job have access to -dt gear. However, only pld and run have the best -dt gear.

Oh please, find me a tank samurai.

Before wanting a next tank job how about we get these 3 existing ones fixed/balanced first? there are still some issues so adding 4th tank on the mix would probably do more harm than good.

Yeah I am hoping WAR and DRK will get some buffs to be closer to PLD but it is still fun to think about what could be the next job. Besides hard modes, all three tanks can clear content pretty easily so from a casual standpoint it wouldn't be so bad.

It's about 2 years till the next expansion, how about they do both balancing and a new tank? Not like there isn't plenty of time.

He did kiiiiiinnndaaaa soortaa said that there's an atma pre-nerf chance we could get something mid expansion. I don't think they will, but there is that 0.0000005% chance

The DPS weren't exactly balanced in 3.0.

Yet here we are.

Well, if anything, having a 4th tank will give SE easier options to balance things by building synergy in tank pairs instead of worrying too much about giving the same tools to 3. But it's SE's game, not mine and luckily, I'm no game dev. :P

Dancer, because getting a dps with potent healing abilities would be broken.

*cough*

Kinda want something like a Shadowmancer, but suited for a tank . . . like a class whose tank stance says something like "Distorts space to avoid 20% of oncoming damage" or whatever. A class that seems like an ethereal tank that uses shadow manipulation to avoid damage and "scare" enemies into keeping their aggro.

Something other than another bulky knight-lookin' thing.
