    It will be a cluster___ in other words. Dps queue times are already obsurd.
    A tank and healer was needed, not more dps and 2 for the matter

    A new Tank and Healer wouldn't be likely to make DPS players switch from DPS'ing to Tanking and Healing instead. People will main one job, usually of a role they like. None of the people who tank that I know of have said, "I'm dropping WAR/PLD/DRK for SAM," yet. They all intend to keep Tanking, because they enjoy tanking.

    Funny thing is, I dropped BRD for NIN (due to me being a NIN in FFXI) when NIN released. I then dropped NIN to go PLD/DRK (since my NIN is a tank in FFXI). This round, I already know I'm staying PLD/DRK (PLD for learning new content and Savage while DRK is for almost everything else).

    I liked SAM in FFXI, but not enough to make it a focus. I prefer tank and support roles, though. I'm not really dps-savvy.

    I know 2 tanks that are going SAM and one healer going RMN. I know another healer that wanted to switch to DPS in the expac but feels he will likely end up forced to go back to healing for the raiding regardless. That actually annoys him more than there being no new healer or tanks. It's the fact that since he is known as a healer he will end up feeling pressured by others to heal rather than make the switch.

    Me, I tend to dislike doing questing as a healer or tank so I will probably take it slow and lvl two Jobs at once. I generally don't rush to end game.
