so only one new classe for stormblood ?

I really think its going to be 2 dps and PoTD was added as a way to deal with queue times.

Most tanks/healer may try a dps but the majority will go back to their main job so the imbalance wont be long term.

They cant balance 3 tanks/healers so they should probably hold off until 5.0 before adding more

My bet is 3 new jobs.
Red Mage
Samurai
Freelancer

Honestly I feel the issue is lack of Tanks and Healers, not DPS. However I do agree, just as those who only play DPS, I am sure some only play Tank/Heal. I don't mind the idea of 2 DPS but I just can't see that being the ideal move to make either.

That is a fundamental MMO problem though and adding new jobs isn't going to fix that look at 3.0 there was a huge spike of DRK tanks at launch but we eventually ended up with basically the same spread of roles as was in 2.0

Let's just cover our ears and eyes to how popular Samurai is (The all but confirmed job), and be totally surprised when the tank population does go down because they switched to SAM. I've literally seen Tanks want SAM DPS so they can switch off Tank to main DPS.
I'll stick to tanking in raids myself if SAM is a DPS, outside of raid I will play the hell out of SAM. I can wait in queues for 30+ mins if I have to, I'll just do other things while tabbed out. I guess I'm part of the problem but I'm willing to wait in those queue times so /shrug. Not everyone is though, with limited game time to just get stuff done. I think they'll enjoy -5 min queue times, +30 mins? not so much.

I see this comment a lot as reason for why there won't be or shouldn't be a new tank or healer... and it's completely unsubstantiated. They have had far more time and money to work on Stormblood than they did with HW. And by this logic, they shouldn't release a tank or healer in 5.0 either because they "can't balance them"... since apparently no amount of time is enough to create a "balanced" tank or healer.

Right!? Balancing should be a thing that comes naturally, not over getting a new job. Caster and Tank balance is in roughly the same place anywayso yet their adding a new Caster so this point people make is invalid.

But all the tanks in this game have a plce, have good balance.
If any thing some dps have a balance problem.
