What Jobs would you like to see in the next Expansion

No, it's not.

What is obvious, though, is that, in this list, there is no proper mitigation tool.
Still the one thing that makes a tank, and still the one thing RDM never specifically had.

You mean the plethora of protective white magic spells that it always had and that it could equip shields?

I guess those aren't defensive anymore. Are you so dead set against this because a mage can't be defensive in nature?
RDM has always had vast amounts of defensive based magic in addition to offense, and I'm not even talking about XI.

If we wanna go more classic RDM... then just take swordsman out. They could equip very little in the way of swords until the remakes anyway. The RDM fencer that everyone loves was a product of remakes and FFXI. If we are taking that into the equation then RDM was a defensive juggernaut with huge amounts of defensive ability that could easily be used to make them tanklike.

Not being sarcastic here, an honest question. This is playstyle aside as I'd rather see a Beastmaster tank anyway.
