My take on Samurai as a tank

[ADVSS]

RDM healer. mo thanks. To be perfectly honest i feel like we just think that those two are going to be the ones we'll see because oof the rising event, and it does make sense, but I've been seeing WAY too many references to time mages as of late, even though i figure astro killed that avenue, in several references its used as a healing/returning to normal state sort of magic/type useie:Alexander and hildebrand more recently. Butttttt I do trally want to see RDM eventually. As far as SAM im open to dps or tank, but in past its "AF gear. if you would, is totally a tank. By regards of making DRK a tank i am almost positive the decision is based on aesthetics, why do i say this? Well when you have 2 jobs that could be the next tank, and you choose DRK cause it "fits the theme" of Heavensward, well... you know. Not to mention EVERY tome set/pvp set/new gear set is tied to an aesthetic theme. realistically in past FF sam has been a frontline damager, with the good health pools and heavy armor, it could be either dps or tank, and do either fine, a high dps tank even would fit the job, maybe theyll smarten up and just make tank damage scale with vit only finally.

In my opinion, they probably won't add another armor type. If samurai is a dps per Yoshida's vision I see it sharing the Striking gear with mnk.
