New jobs upcoming, new tanks?

[Enkidoh]

evade tanks (ninjas),

NIN in FFXI was never intended to be a tank, they were meant to be a DD/enfeebling Job - Utsusemi was designed simply as a 'get-out-of-jail-free card' if they pulled too much hate. Of course, players being how they are, had other ideas and realized they could abuse it by using it for tanking, despite NIN having all the defense of a wet paper bag, as the only other way they can avoid attacks was with high evasion. Also they had no native hate-generating abilities and even with WAR subbed for Provoke often struggled to hold hate properly.

Only later did SE buckle to player demands and gave NIN it's own hate-generating abilities, but it was still a glass cannon once it's shadows went down, not to mention a lot of enemies ate through shadows like they weren't even there. Hence why I seriously hope SE doesn't repeat this nonsense and keeps NIN as a DD Job in FFXIV when it's implemented.
