I'm talking about a tank that deals entirely magic damage with not just instant cast spell like abilities but on its actual weaponskill attacks and auto attacks as well. One of the points noted on the forum is the fact all 3 tanks primarily deal physical slashing damage and a number of players are proposing tank ideas for damage types that synergize with DPS jobs that deal blunt or piercing damage. Granted the only damage synergy I can think of for a fully magic damage based tank would be with BRD using requiem as I cannot immediately recall any party buffs that boost magic damage specifically. Just ones that boost all damage or physical damage.
