Allrounder here, so I dont mind whichever role we are going to get. But if SE were to only add 1 class, which role do you think this class will have? SE has shown so far that they will cater to the majority. We know that DPS players outnumber the Tank and Healer by alot. I doubt SE would release one class for the tanks or healer. Knowing SE they want make sure that majority of the playerbase plays their new class, otherwise it would be a waste of resources and time.

On the tank forum there used to be a thread about how effective the Dark Knight was in converting DPS and Healers to play a Tank. The reponds show that majority of the Dark Knight who play the class as their main, were already maining a Paladin or Warrior. A small group converted into a Tank, but the rest leveled the class and benched it.

So to answer your question with a another question, do we need really a new Tank or a Healer class aswell?
