I would prefer it that way too. After all we already got 2 tanks with a sword, and none as a dps if you dont like the oriental feeling of the samourai. It has been a while that i feel like we lack a more common dps sword job as most people usually picture them to be.

Plus i cant really get how to have a good set of ranged abilities as a tank (cause a gunblade screams ranged skills on top of the melee ones) when most of the time they keep a wall behind their back so that mobs dont aim at the rest of the group, or have to stay still so that the dps can use their positionnals correctly. Ranged skills are more for dps imo.

In the same way i wouldn't be against BLU ending up being a tank if one day SE unlock the duty finder for him. We already got 3 dps mages, getting a 4th one doesn't feel very varied.
