    Because traditionally RDM has no traits whatsoever that would make it viable as a tank. It is a DPS swordsman (fencer at that) that uses offensive black magic and healer white magic. XI broke the trend by giving it support abilities (still not tank) and having it fill a support role with refresh, haste, slow etc.

    The ONLY time that RDM has been a tank is very loosely in XI. When people say that RDM could be a tank in XI, they are highly exaggerating this fact, and its about equivilent to having a WAR go DPS in this game, or having a SMN tank with titan.

    It is not impossible for RDM to be a tank (after all DRK was, and that is the least tank-like job I can think of) but it would involve such a bastardisation of the jobs core that it would no longer be RDM anymore.
