What other tank jobs could come to XIV?

Just a proto-idea, but what if Ranged Tanks worked by Reverse kiting. Kind of like how Conjurers buy themselves some space with Fluid Aura.
Tanking using their own Crowd Control?

Melee DD jobs would be severely hindered by having a tank like this in their group sadly.

Lol I already do that like last night during brayflox me brd friends drg and sch teamed up with a crapy paladin who couldnt keep hate mp usage was crap just all around crappy tank. He left just before the drake fight I kiting tanked it while drg took the biast

for the DRK as tank he will surely steal hp, but don't hope to see it like the main part of him capacity, i means the warrior is already a tank that heal himself.

i see the DRK with a sort of darkness shroud, covering them and increasing them evasion parry, him main capacity will be to cripples enemy, stealing them stats from increase himself. using fear for reduce the damage the target do to the DRK and some dark power that will be insanely nice as tank mechanic.

for the SAM i see him like a Skill chain burster, for the one that have play FF11 imagine one class that can use the skill chain all alone, getting weaponskill automatically because he did use two before. like: doing one horizontal skill followed by a vertical resulting into a weapon skill cross slash, it's an simple idea, but it can be develloped into something more technical.
for the role, i see it like a slow hard hitter focus on critical hit, since it a technician, every slash he will do will try to get the best of it.

for a ranged tank it will be the worst idea possible, the melee dps will be destroyed by this mechanic. any sort of kitting result in a loose of dps of a lot especially with position in the skill!

This is where they should just let the war be DPS and get a new tank in the game ninja would be good.

No. They should let WAR be a tank and introduce additional tank classes.

I would like a tank that duel wields. May not necessary be MT but a back up for raids yet still powerful enough to stand up to most things. He'll the flames leader is a damn duel wielder.

I would love to see Dark knight for marauder and beast master for Gladiator. the shield and one-hander with the pet filling in other abilities such as helping heal or dps or even a meat shield. the Dark knight would be very similar to the warrior right now i just think it wouldn't be so much hp drain and more other stat drain to bolster its self and possibly the other people around it.

and with the issue that some people have said about the tanks having to much enmity to be a dps job they could just make it so when you equipped the job crystal the enmity portion went away

[Jediman]

we have to see other Final fantasy series games how they are setup for tanking then make a class base on those.

The MRD guild in Limsa has a wood sign hanging in it showing 2 crossed pistols. Maybe that's a hint?

That's. . .the MSK guild.

[Toranja]

A Dark Knight? The abilities of a Dark Knight are already present in a MRD. The only future it has is as a MRD's second job.

I just would like to see a Spell-caster type of tanking. It opens the door for new things.
