    Meanwhile let me glamour on a fancy dress and tank just fine. Mage Tanks can work. It's simply unfortunate that to be executed in XIV they would have to do a good job of it and I doubt they have the integrity to break the mold of heavy armor thing soaking all the hits.

    I can easily see magic shields instead of the usual stances. But really what changes outside of an aesthetic touch.

    Glamour is just an illusion.

    Mage tanks can works but it would be a bit tricky concerning gear. Unless their main stats are still VIT/STR...so they're not really "mages", you'd have to design a new set for this new tank. Actually, since DPS each have their own main stat, it could be interesting to not put all tanks on STR and I'd love my PLD to rely on MND.

    But, seeing as they tend to streamline stats, I suppose they'd just switch to full Vitality for Attack Power.
