    since yoshida have said no support role, a sort of healer is the best they can do i guess

    Funny that, considering it worked just fine in ARR, huh?

    The only thing I'm really hoping there will a range class like brd/mch, but completely dps focussed. Let them use a crossbow or something, but that would mean they'd have to change the lb1/lb2 for the mch.

    Honestly what we need next is a new caster DPS~ but I would LOOOOVE Samurai... I do want it as a tank though.

    I am also hoping for Ranger... and was praying they'd probably still make some other classes branch off like SMN/SCH.

    They however did confirm, no new jobs till 4.0.

    Ranger seems unlikely given that many of its abilities and/or core mechanics have already been given to Archer and Machinist. It's kind of like asking for a Sniper or Marksman job atop our gun-wielding MCH. I'm not saying it couldn't be done, of course; with enough underlying mechanics built into 'job traits' instead of just classes, it could probably even stem off Archer and still vary greatly from Bard, especially if they revised Bard to rotate a bit more around its singing.

    Samurai, being a crowd favorite, will probably show up as soon as they have a decent setting into which to introduce it.

    Just think.
    During Arr the waiting time for a dps queueing was desperatly long. They bring up the super popular Dark knigh for heavensward, as a tank. Every one tried it, at that moment it was faster to enter a dungeon as a DD than as a Tank.
    Due to tanking difficulties (or desillusions) a lot of players just went back to their older dps jobs. Now we get back with long queue time for dps. Seriously what do you think will happen if the next job that comes is even more popular than a Dark knigh and is damage dealer ?
    Effectively the next class need to be a damage dealer (3 differents tanks + healers it's really not bad). But it absolutely need to not attract 80% of the game population.

    I mean, if it's a samuraï, even i, who really like to tank & heal, will just leave my astro, my warrior and my dark knigh in the doghouse to become a pizzacat's

    I think that stance was meant as an alternate stance for two handed sword for drk. I wish we'd gotten that battle stance instead of drk's current one, I really don't like it.

If they wanted to even it out they'd have to add another tank, another healer, and another melee dps class. Only things I can think of offhand that would differentiate, make a "ranged" tank like swtor has, a healer that specializes in hots, and a melee dps with a two handed weapon or one that uses melee and magic together.

    I was kinda hoping for Samurai to be tank too, but I think it will be DPS when it comes out.
