It's funny when someone suggests more tanking jobs so someone else can play them.

Well... I mean I would level a 3rd tank if there was another Class available to level... and that would get me back into low level dungeons and roulette and temporarily(?) alleviate the issue. For all of the week or two it'd take people to level it...

People on a tank just outpace other people when it comes to EXP. We can survive fine in FATEs alone, we can clear dailies and leves easily, we have fast dungeon queue times and more EXP benefits.

The roulette itself is counter intuitive from a leveling standpoint because it offers more EXP to less in-demand roles. Meaning the people on Tanks/Healers blast up through levels exponentially faster - leaving a ever larger pool of DPS behind.

Still your point is quoted for truth. Just adding another tank doesn't mean you'll have more tanks... just more variety.

I think they ought to make the roulette give a double bonus to DPS classes so they're not being left behind so easily by their counterparts.

I do lowbie DR almost every day on tank, and I've got both at 50 =\ You get a gil bonus if you're at 50 since you can't get xp boosts. This kinda thing, while it might not be enough for everyone, is exactly what DR is designed for. It's to give the lesser in demand jobs an INCENTIVE to do it, xp or other reward.

^ This, and those who don't tank or heal probably can't dps either. When we get an official parser it will be a day of reckoning for the bads.

That's probably why we'll (most likely) never get one.

edit: If a 3rd tank was released, it'd just be an offshoot of the current tank classes and would be insta-50 for anyone who plays tank roles. I doubt if people that don't want to tank would be drawn to....another tank job. Sure you'd have a few that would, but from sheer tank/healer/DD ratios, not much would change. A tank is a tank is a tank is a tank after all.
