@Naoki Yoshida-> Make Samurai a DPS class!!!

[Enur]

Entitled or not, if the tank numbers plummet, the game's health plummets. You need a healthy population of all roles to make this kind of game work. If DPS players don't like that tanks get extra perks, they can simply play tanks.

But if the reason for adding fending armor to SAM is that current tanks get even more perks, then we wont gain new tanks.Surely you must have realised by now that perhaps what we really need is a shakeup in the basic formula if we want more tanks. If dps jobs gets more responsability, the one thing that currently in my experience, then more tanks might get te see the light. But until that day we cant just keep adding perks on perks, baiting people into tanking. Tricking them with goodies into doing the bad thing is bad! Its a game, its supposed to be fun to play. If people arent naturally playing then it must be the games fault at making them consider tanking.

And if the amount of tanks truely will "plummet" as you say, what hinders the dev team from adding a third dps partymember in dungeons? this will make the queues for dps 33% faster. Why continue with the same old boring ideas when you could have fresh ones?


And as to the

numerous positive reasons

I'd like to see the list, as i am unable to visualize what huge benefits it will have, aside from the aforementioned ease of gearing.


SE is going to play it safe. That is what im afraid of. they played it safe with arr. People expected as much. they played safe in HW. People started to get upset with the formula. If they play it safe in SB, while i wont quit, many will. "Same old stuff as last expac" doesnt sell. "New and fresh" does. I want new and fresh tank ideas, concepts and executions.


tldr to all my points:
I want change and new reasons for newcomers to tank, as opposed to giving the existing tanking community even more perks.
