NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

People really want their cake and want to eat it, too...

well yeah what is the point of getting cake and not eating it. I really hate when people use that stupid saying

Your one and only reference to Ninjas as tanks is actually a perversion of one line of their spells originally meant to keep them safe from aggro. That's it, just Utsusemi. Ninja in XI had no innate enmity generation as was present in the actual tank jobs.

to start with because XI had support jobs they didnt need the enmity generation, they could get it from Warrior with Provoke. they did get tanking emnity buildup abilities later.

to drive your point let me think. PLD is a tank class in XI and barely had any enmity buildup of their own till much later. the ones they did fell short of Provoke which is not even a PLD ability. this changed when NIN also got more of its own.


as for NIN being tank. they could do it easily

since you want to go on your little rants about what jobs were and werent in XI. technically RDM wasn't a healer and neither was SCH but the players used them for it. and also till they screwed with the RDM traits they could also effectivally tank.

this is a different game. my only gripe with it is one that has been brought up already. we have too many DPS already the DPS outnumber the tanks and healers by a pretty big margin. however they could easily announce more classes and jobs before the E3 is over or even wait and surprise us when 2.4 is released. we don't know what they will do. heck look at patch 2.28 it had a lot more than most were expecting in it and it wasnt even a major patch
