I voted Mystic Knight/Spell Fencer, since that seems like it would fit the concept of "magic-using tank" more than Red Mage (though I wouldn't be surprised if Red Mage was used for the name).

Red mage tank. Naturally.

Mystic Knight / Spell Fencer / Rune Fencer / whatever they want to call it in Eorzea. As a tank of course.

Even though it's almost ALMOST confirmed by SE, I'd like to have a RDM. The idea of a tank using magic and fencing skills sounds pretty charming.

Red Mage would not make a good Tank. It should be a DPS job.

Voted for Beast Master.

Because traditionally RDM has no traits whatsoever that would make it viable as a tank. It is a DPS swordsman (fencer at that) that uses offensive black magic and healer white magic. XI broke the trend by giving it support abilities (still not tank) and having it fill a support role with refresh, haste, slow etc.

The ONLY time that RDM has been a tank is very loosely in XI. When people say that RDM could be a tank in XI, they are highly exaggerating this fact, and its about equivilent to having a WAR go DPS in this game, or having a SMN tank with titan.

It is not impossible for RDM to be a tank (after all DRK was, and that is the least tank-like job I can think of) but it would involve such a bastardisation of the jobs core that it would no longer be RDM anymore.

You should really have omitted RDM from this poll as it has been all but confirmed at the NA fan fest (scarlet witch, yoshi P is fooling nobody)
