New TANK idea

[VargasVermillion]

Well I thought at one point if they did add new tanking classes with shields they could have one that's better with small shields, large shields and the pally for medium ones. The Templar one you mentioned could have defender as a class, use large shields and have a spear or halberd, have counter attacking skills rather than aggressive ones. it's a pretty vague idea but atm if/when they add a new tank (SE mentioned they will add a new tank and healer in the expansion) I'm guessing it'll be samurai. This is just guessing though.

On a side note if you watch the end of an era trailer you can see some soldiers using great shields and halberd/lance type weapons so it could be a possibility, although using a shield as a main weapon seems silly to me.
