    They already can do this with Stances by having a Tank Stance and DPS Stance at level 1 and which stance the Job is in adjust the Job skills to that Job Role but no they have to stick with 1 Role per Job.

    If only... I wouldn't even ask for 3 different specs like in WoW but maybe just 2 per job. But there's no point in dreaming this

    Seriously though, why do people think SE alone can fix the tank stigma? Its been something that has gone around since the start of the holy trinity, the only way to fix it, is to remove tanks and make them not needed, but that's not fair to the few that actually enjoy tanking. Regardless I think WAR does crap on the other 2 tanks in gameplay (opinion) and power (fact) but they did mention they would bring the other 2 tanks up in 4.0, what that means is unclear. Make the gameplay more enjoyable? Give them more power? Or both. I'm sure we'll have more info on this soon, probably by the eu fanfest.

    Kinda how I feel, same with AST and Diurnal and Noct giving 2 different effects, I'd have to assume they could also do the same for a job.

    There's a lot of people who have tanks at max level, they just don't necessarily play their tanks in duty finder. A new tank job is fresh incentive to take that new job into duty finder again.

    Technically the least played jobs in the game are Machinist (4%) and Summoner (6%). Guess that means no new dps jobs until they make them more appealing right? I mean that's your logic.

    Not to mention the backwards logic of "there aren't enough tanks, so let's not add something that could help boost those numbers and instead do something that will help lower those numbers. Meanwhile, let's take the largest demographic that has the most variety in jobs available to them and give them even more!"

    There aren't conclusive numbers to suggest that introducing Dark Knight as a tank made any significant increase in the number of total tank players.

    So probably SAM as tank and RDM as melee dps

    2% increase is huge. Not only did the tank population not decrease, it increased.
    Did you really expect something like a 10% increase because of DRK ? And if it's "only" 2% percent, even with DRK's popularity, what do you think would have happened without it ?

    The goal isn't to totally replace the dps population and a 40% tank population isn't going to happen, nor should it.
    If SAM adds two more %, then we would be seeing a steady and healthy increase, far from a dud.
