    I read in an interview from the developers (Yoshi-P I think to be specific), he mentioned making tanks more attractive to players to level, which could mean both tanks getting additional "buffs" (for soloing) (as we all know both jobs can sufficiently tank all the content just fine how it is currently). Now I don't have a pld leveled beyond 15, but Plds do have a "dps" type stance where auto attack is increased. Maybe (and I'm actually kinda hoping for this), they'll add more to that stance and give the Warrior one as well that's essentially the opposite of defiance. Where it's increased damage, with a health penalty and still gives the wraith buff (to use the abilities that use it)?

    Don't get me wrong, I *Love* my warrior, and I'm very happy where my job is right now, but if they were to do this, I could see adding this type of thing into the game could allow the tanks to do dps when there's not a need for 2 tanks in one fight (but the raid still requires 2 in other fights) without gimping the raid dps.

    I could see them easily adding in a more dps dependent version of the war tanking buff but on the possible second Mrd class job. Maybe call the job Berserker and the stance give +25% health {same as original} -20% defense {replaces the +emnity and dmg reduction portion} and the ability to build wrath stacks.

    Don't see why they would make a second class to maruader still use wrath stacks... I'd hope they would put more thought into it and make the class more unique.
