I realize I'm making a serious post in a thread in which the OP has a known reputation on here, but I feel the discussion is serious enough to warrant a serious reply from me.

Back before BLU was officially announced, I didn't care too much about on Gunblade either being a Tank or a DPS. If it came as a DPS, then I would have just hoped for BLU to be a Tank. If it came as a Tank, then I'd just hope for BLU to be a Tank at a later date or come in with Gunblade as a DPS. But after we all saw what happened to BLU, I'm now pinning my hopes on Gunblade being a Tank. Though I don't think I have to pray too hard on that, due to everything we've seen so far. The whole showcase for 5.0 went and gave a few too many clues that Gunblade is going to be a Tank, IMO. In particular, I'm looking at that "Trust" system. It's pretty obvious that they're going to throw the major members of the scions at us first for that system. But... none of the current scion members would even remotely qualify as a Tank.

... Wait. What's that? Thancred got another appearance overhaul? And he's wielding a Gunblade? $5 says Thancred is going through on this change for the sake of giving us a go to Tank character for the Trust system upon initial release of 5.0

On that note, there's that leaker who's been scary accurate so far on his "predictions" (he's GOT to be getting info directly from SE somehow), like calling out that BLU would be out in 4.5. (And he was right) Honestly, at this point, I'll be very surprised if Gunblade is anything but a Tank at this point. Throw in DNC as a healer to accompany our likely new Tank and I'll be very happy. If we do get a third job to be a DPS, I'll be fine with that. (So long as it isn't DNC. I want a healer DNC ssssssssoooooooooo bad) But if we don't get a third job, then I'd simply like to remind everyone in advance that they said we'd get multiple new jobs when Stormblood was coming out... and we only got 2 new jobs. (Which, to be fair, 2 is technically multiple jobs) Soooo... don't get your hopes up to high.

For some of the comments in here, I can't help but notice that there's this underlying tone behind some of the posts that reek of "Tanks don't deserve any cool jobs". It was like this in Heavensward too. Hell, to this day, I still see people moan and whine about DRK being a Tank. That underlying tone really grates me frankly speaking. Why should DPS be the only one to get cool jobs? Tank and Healer mains exist in this game too you know. We deserve cool jobs too.

As for cue times, I don't care. In fact, back in Heavensward when the Tank and Healer cue times were choked for a little while, I was actually happy to see that. It meant people were actually taking Tanks and Healers into Duty Roulette. You know what I did during that time? I simply took MCH into Duty Roulette during the "Day of the instant DPS cues" days. (Yes, I still remember those days) For that matter, if I have to sit there and wait on a cue time, I still don't care. There's plenty of things to do in the overworld while waiting on the cue time. And there will be a lot to do come 5.0. Plenty of hunts, side quests, etc, to get through while I have that cue timer running.

*Waits for someone to say "Get our of here with your logic about cue timers!"*
