If they just add dps classes the queues will be insane.

Another Tank class is needed but most likely will be a popular class thats been indicated as "most wanted"

I just hope they don't shoe-horn a popular class into tank class. :(

But then again, how another tank would work? We already have a mitigation tank and a HP tank. Evasion tank would be either too OP or too weak to tank anything. Maybe a tank that channels spells or something like that =P

Another mitigation/HP tank. Just, different abilities. Maybe a caster tank that requires timing of spells or something, but still mitigation.

Evasion tank could work if the rate of evading attacks wasn't ridiculous and it's HP was similar to the existing tanks.

As a very rough idea, the Paladin has say 5000hp + 20% damage reduction, a Warrior has 5000hp + 20% boost in hp and healing, so the hypothetical evasion tank could have 5000hp + 20% chance to evade. The incoming damage on an evasion tank would be spikey compared to the other tanks, but would theoretically require less overall healing.

A tank that's different but not an evasion tank could be a pet tanking job? Something branching off of Conjurer with it focusing on calling forth an elemental avatar to tank for it maybe. Lock down the cure spells to the avatar and throw in some lore about the strain of keeping the elemental around negatively affecting it's cure potency to prevent the job functioning as a healer while tanking.

Hello Dark Knight!

The dark knight is a damage dealer not a tank.

Maybe in FFXI. But this is FFXIV. They most certainly could make the Dark Knight a tank if they chose to do so.

If there was a Time Mage class I would literally never stop playing this game.

Could be Hybrid class, can go Tank or DPS, but off course I imagine the Hybrid classes branching from 2 jobs not base classes lol
