Dragoon only real option for DPS with 2h?

Unfortunately, the 2-handed jobs I liked the most in FFXI are tanks here (WAR, DRK). I would love to swing around a 2-handed axe as a DPS. :/

Eh, WAR was always a tank, despite protestations from ninjapally elitists. Whose provoke were they using? </smug>

Did you play past the Dunes?

They were originally suppose to be a tank.

Just paladins were better.

Ninjas were supposed to be a DD, the community turned them into tanks.

What the community decides =/ developer intention.

You might remember Paladin was locked behind level 30, some job from the get-go was designed to be a tank and it sure as hell wasn't Monk or Thief. And I highly doubt it was intended to stop tanking because another job became available.

Development after the community made a firm decision is another story all together.

A good paladin or ninja rarely if ever used provoke in content that actually mattered, other than boring old Dyni.

But I agree, warrior was defiantly a tank. Nice JA hate grab abilities.
