Has SE screwed itself?

Actually, giving PGL a tank job wouldn't be too hard.

Evasion does not a tank make. You cannot RNG your tank into oblivion. To make PGL into a tank, you would need to increase HP by 150%, increase defense by 100% or increase eHP further to account for the reliable boost to burst damage. That's not touching the positioning issue, the enmity issue, or anything else obviously missing. PGL as tank will not happen, period.

Honestly, PGL could *easily* be given a tank job, more easily than LNC, imo, since LNC has a weird ratio on def/mdef compared to MAR/GLA (1.45 for def and 2.7 for mdef), though it does have the advantage of a lot of LNC gear having parry on it.

What kind of stats does this armor have? I'm pretty sure they're tank stats.

The hardest secondary jobs to add really are healers, mainly because you either have to have a heal naturally (like ACN does) or expect the class to bring in as an additional (which is possible; have CNJ or ACN as one of the requirement classes and build the job around them bringing Cure/Physick since they would *have* to have it; they already assume that WAR is going to bring a half of its CD suite from additionals).

The assumption of cross-class is already there for Protect. That's not really the problem. The problem is that for level 15 jobs, you have to do something to account for the ability to queue into 15-30 without proper abilities. SCH gives them all to the pet right off the bat for AoE heals, but for others, you'd have to make some concession for making it work.

a few others added to current jobs that don't change the playstyle *too* much (tank job for PGL)

The squishiest melee, numero uno of the dead-meat clan, and you really think it's going to be a tank? I'll tell you what. 10,000 gil. 10,000 gil bet.
