Lancer : New Job Tank

[Ultimatecalibur]

The Job would excel in physical defensive tanking while being weak to magic based attacks as a counter balance. This already fits into the Lancer theme with their armor.

Lancers have access to a fair number of tank level def=mdef armors. In fact you can level from 23 to 50 exclusively in crafted def=mdef armors, starting with Iron Scale Mail (23), Steel Scale Mail (32), Horn Scale Mail (38), Tortoiseshell Scale Mail (46) and finally Mosshorn Scale Mail (47, ilevel 50).

Also certain dungeon drops like Paladin's trousers from Cutter's Cry.

As mine is only 34 hadn't noticed but stand corrected.
