we need a sword dps

[Kalsoa]

I would prefer Samurai tank and a rapier wielding Red Mage as the sword DPS. Oh, and Dancer as the healer, maybe with chakrams.

Well if they go the route of Samurai as DPS, and Red Mage as healer... we would always have Blue Mage? Though that job would be hard to implement in this game.

Ninja kind of counts. They dual wield katanas which is a type of short sword.

Actually... we could get Rune Fencer, caster sword DPS.

Why. Why Samurai tank. Why why why. Why take such an offensive character and throw them on the defence. We don't need another WAR.

Why do you have to call them Katanas. They're not. Katanas have one bladed edge, not two. We don't even get a rogue dagger that resembles a Katana save for a few exceptions point is its not normal for rogue. How do you argue throwing Daggers. Would you throw a katana?

Needs more Red Mage Tank in here. Send Samurai to die in DPS congestion.

[Morzy]

Jesus. Why do you all have to count ninja as a sword wielder just to say we already have a sword wielding class. This is a sword that is a dagger can we move on?

Find better arguments.

Actually we sort of do. WAR and SCH are the only jobs with that are guareenteed a slot in an optimal party ass the off-tank/healer. (Though as one pointed out the PS might not be the deciding factor but the utility, which is also true for SCH). It doesn't have to be SAM, but we do need some competition for the Off-Tank slot.

Also DRK was usually described as being offensive to the point where they harm themselves to attack, and in XIV, its a Tank. Ship's already sailed there

[ADVSS]

yeah they could just make all of the most anticipated jobs tanks, then run their characteristics over with a bulldozer just to make it be a tank with the same tank abilities to make it a tank, so it can tank like the other 3 tanks that tank.

[Morzy]

SCH was kind of a mistake why do you think we never got more jobs that shared classes. YP was trying something new.

WAR is op I don't think we need more like it. Our next tank might be offensive I'll give u that since our last was DRK n we gotta keep up with variety but Imo WAR is fine

Does Nin/Rog carry 2 pointed sticks with them? And is a sword just one pointed stick?
