Is anyone else hoping that Ninja is a tank?

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Some of my most intense and memorable moments playing FFXI were tanking as a ninja. Not to mention this game desperately needs more tanks.

I do hope so as it make me act wanna be a tank lol

No. MOVING ON TO THE NEXT TOPIC..

No.

To the seventh circle of hell with blink tanking. My most hated memories of FFXI involved stupid players who were either maining NIN, or (more often than not), subbing it with another job, in parties over-relying on Utsusemi thinking that it made themselves invincible to anything in the game (which it didn't - there were plenty of enemies in the game who used attacks that ate through shadows wholesale), getting themselves killed as a result, and then blaming the healer, ala myself (I was WHM), for it.

Hence, it's forever poisoned my attitude towards the Job (like stupid Edward in FFIV did towards BRD). Blink tanking has no place here.

No, i don't want to be Ninja as Tank... AGAIN. It was never meant to be a tank in FFXI, so no.. i don't want be forced to tank as NIN again, when it is not supposed to be one. Like SMN's were often used as Healers, when their DD Potential were crazy.

Even after Yoshi flat out said it's purely DPS?

Pretty sure it was confirmed today as a dd(or dps, whatever you wanna call it) class today, that was the feel I got from the reveal at least.

and new tank and heal class is coming though, just not at 2.4.

inb4 they're trying to make SAM a tank again lol

Yeah, they said it would be a dps role. I suppose it's possible for Rogue to have a tanking job later though, considering they want to add more jobs to each class.

I think they're gonna make SAM a tank again (or try at least).
