I want to tank, but I'm not at all interested in PLD or WAR.
I've had to settle for DRK as the best option out of three, but personally find the 'edgelord' a bit to strong and the DA spam annoying.

If either BLU or the gunblade class was a tank, it'd be awesome and I'd finally have a tank class I'd enjoy.

Blue mage has never really been about damage, it's always been utility, with a mix of gimmicky healing, mitigation and debuffing, plus usually has pretty decent physical capability.
It wouldn't be out of place as a tank at all.
I concur, alas apparently, according to some datamining, a new DPS is in preparation and will be using caster equipment. That leaves BLU with a DPS role. But I'm fine with gunblader at tanking I guess ? Though I would have seen gunblader as a 3rd physical ranged that could go melee half the time (much more than RDM who was an utterly false promise for casters).

I don't know, I feel like you that BLU wouldn't be out of place as a tank either. I think I'll love it in any role he is given anyway.
