puff if i can count the bad dps i meet, bad players are bad players the role dont matter, you points are not enough of why devs have to cut the fun for one of the 3 pillars of the game, i play 90% of the time as tank, why you deserve more new toys that me?

Good for you.

Even though this isn't a discussion about bad players (regardless of job) my point still stands. The shortage isn't because of lack of tank classes. It's a result of people not wanting to tank.

tanking is more importatn on this game that DPS, keep alive tanks is = to good healt of the game, for me i want new tanks but bcs SAM is the hot theme right knowwe are talking about he destiny and RDM is comfirmed as dps every person how can see more that they own roleknow whe need a healer and a tank to compensate the huge number of dps we have in this game compared to the numbers of tank jobs and healer jobs, even you favourite job become boring after play the same years with it, is natural want new forms to do you role, and DPS dont have that problem, think about if you only have 3 dps to choose.

[Galaktica]

Yup, that's what need, not one, but two more dps added this expansion. That will definitely help speed up queue times.

You also need less tanks for raids, so DPS have more slots to fill.

Offered to gear up my tank job for raids, offer was declined as they wanted that I'd stay as DPS.

Your comment just switched a light on in my head. I wonder if allowing full premade 24-man raids would increase the number of tanks playing. I mean, if you're in a large enough FC now you can fill 6 tank slots (or 3), rather than just 2 (or 1) for 1 alliance, at the most......hmmm

Dude, I understand what you are saying, tanks are important, but that's not my point, and is in no way a personal attack on tanks. All I'm saying is that the shortage is a result of people not wanting to tank. It doesn't have anything to do with the number of tank jobs there are. We could have 5 different tank jobs in the game and we'd STILL have a shortage.

[Korbash]

Yes, please.

Reasons:

1. Already have 2 swordsman jobs for the tank role.

2. Still no sword user job for DD.

3. Ninja is the only slashing DD.

4. Yoshida-san said that Samurai would be a DD and we all know that he's a man of his word.

Yeah, all the jobs using swords and axes are tanks so a DD one would be nice for a change for those who would like to play a DD job with a sword. Samurai would be perfect for that.

We need another INT job and another STR job (DPS, tanks are VIT). It looks like RDM will be the former, and SAM is a valid candidate for the latter. So why not?

I'm glad we finally get an INT new job finally. I love to play mage in games and MMOs and an INT job was really needed here. And yes, there is a lack of STR too and SAM would fit perfectly I agree.

And I'm used to queue time as a DPS, I read books while I wait, take notes for a course I'm doing, etc.

so the new dps (red mage) have a sword. now sam can be the new happy tank

[Rivxkobe]

He already said if it was added it would be a Tank.

4. Yoshida-san said that Samurai would be a DD and we all know that he's a man of his word.

?

No he said it would be tank.
