LNC tank job?

If you watch the 2.1 video, at 5:21, when they're doing the preview for Pharos Sirius, the group they're using consists of a WHM, a BLM, a gun using class (MSK/COR likely), and a spear using class that seems to be wearing heavy armor tanking (looks kind of like Darklight but definitely not the DRG armor) and tanking (he never attacks from side/behind and is actually tanking the boss at 5:30).

Think this is confirmation that there's a LNC tank job in the works for 2.2?

Nah the Party consisted of a PLD, DRG, WHM and BLM. There is actually a lalafell PLD tanking (he's really small so hard to see), the Gun user is actually one of the enemies they were fighting.

Echoing Zodiac; the gun user is the enemy the party is fighting.

Though - this does mean they have animations built for a gun user - so perhaps they have something under wraps and we will be seeing the mythical MSK/COR in FFXIV finally.

We shall see.

Most of those fights, it still looks like the LNC is attacking from the front and actually has consistent aggro on the boss, however. Seemed kind of weird to me.

The DRG is attacking from the front, it looks like the paladin was having aggro issues -__-

It's DRG in AF or Myth gear. There is no tank. edit: Nope; I'm just blind.

DRG/PLD*/BLM/WHM are shown in the Pharos Sirius section of the video.

I'm not sure why. <- Derp.

edit: Lalafell PLD problems; also herpderp mistaking Shield Lob for kick-attacks.

Conclusion: The DRG is a bad

Eh no... the DRG is just putting out the most damage; there is no tank shown in the preview of Pharos Sirius dungeon.

edit: DRG just pullin' hate all ova-da place.

Er nope it's a PLD. Shield Lob trolling me.

oh man i didnt notice the corsair mob!! cool! he has a gun and a sword. I'm sure they are working on this class next Yoshi has spoken on this multiple times and has even said that there is already a musketeer guild in limsa.

Unfortunately I will have to agree that the DRG was just DD there is a tiny paladin running around, though a tank class coming from LNC would make the most sense. Not sure what the job would be though... I would want something new and different.
DO NOT TAKE MY COMMENT AT START A DRK/SAM TANK THREAD OUT OF THIS. Thank you :)

If it's devs playing the game, they probably don't need to make videos with traditional roles. They can give themselves 100% dmg resistance and then make themselves gods of whoever-the-hell-wants-aggro-can-have-it.

If the word wasn't used in the Paladin job already it could be called a Sentinel. Or maybe Defender. And would have to be limited to Tower shields. But the idea is good :)

Sounds like a Dev to me.
(And doing it as a DRG too hahahahahahaha)

They'd have to give Lancer one-handed spear first...which I think they should do with every weapon, not just WHM/BLM.
Two-handed sword for GLA (Future DRK ?), one-handed axe for WAR (Future I-don't-know-what-job-they'll-choose), and...well, PUG is a bit of a problem here.
Then they can do a "Ronin" class, to evolve into Ninja and Samurai :D

why does no one remember that Templar is a thing?

Given that Ishgard is religious and FULL of dragoons, Templar is the perfect fit for the next lancer job that will unlock along with Ishgard.

Good call. Or perhaps Crusader?

Templar already has an existing (slightly) recurring presence within the FF games (the Tactics games, at least). There aren't really any other spear using tanky-types, though a possible name to use would be "Defender" if you wanted to go for a job without the religious overtones.

If looking at FF tactics, that version of Dragoon was able to equip shields.
Depending on my party make up, I would use a Dragoon in the front tiles.
So, with that history, it is possible for a Dragoon to have a tanking branch.

Works in this game as a class, and it's best stat growth is in fact defense.
I would love to see this working out as a very Avoidance based class, through Parrying TONS, and having ON-Parry skills that either, increase Damage Dealt, Buff the Templar's defenses, Add a de-buff.. Etc.

Neat. From the description of that class, I could see Templar requiring Conjurer as it's level 15 class requirement. Sorta like a paladin-lancer.
