What kind of tank do you want in 4.0?

I want a blue mage type,red mage hybrid that can "devour" monsters in order to gain buffs and debuffs.

Mage Tank. Full stop.

Beastmaster. Wasn't my idea, but when I heard it sounds like the most unique wish out there. And I think it'd be great to see an FFXIV interpretation of a Beastmaster as a tank.

I would LOVE A Beastmaster/Tamer Tank class.

There are a few possible ways they can make it work, so I'm interested in how'd they'd do it.

Plus, if they have a Turtle Pet, I'd be even more happy.

I also think that having a Tank Pet class would round out the SMN/SCH/MCH group. 1 Tank, 2 DPS, 1 Heal pet classes.

I really hope we get a mage tank of sorts, all I really want though is that Samurai isn't our next tank. We already have two, two handed heavy bladed weapon tanks do we really need another?

One that tanks and isn't a DPS who can sort of mitigate damage and keep enmity.

Well anyway lol I'd like a blink tank like ninja from FFXI, that was the only tank I ever played in any mmo ever that I enjoyed.

Yeah I'd like to feel rewarded for tanking instead of trying to push my numbers as high as I can. If I want to do that I'll just play BLM or MNK.

Hot Water


these baths are getting rather cold by now.







oh wait thats not......

I'm a main tank (due to DRK being a tank on XIV), and I love tanking, but I'm so not looking forward to a new tank. Probably because they've already shown how little creativity they've got, but I'd like to think of a new healer better.

That said, and to be on topic, I'd love something different. RDM and/or BLU for example, or PUP/BST. The idea of SAM as a tank, which I defended years ago since DRK was a given for me, seems extremely boring now. More of the same.

So in short, RDM, BLU, PUP, or BST.

blame the meta then. The next tank will be trying to push their numbers the exact same way the other tanks do.
