What tank weapons would you like?

[Marxam]

I would prefer if they just made raid weapons different from tome weapons, ex,

WAR tome = Axe
WAR raid = Hammer

DRK tome = Greatsword
DRK raid = Scythe

PLD tome = Sword and Shield
PLD tome = Mace and Shield

There's no need to dilute the jobs with similar weapon job classes by making every weapon a specific job. Would also give more incentive to run savage raids just for the glam. I'm still surprised that Nero's hammer isn't in-game or even on the mogstation, despite having the same exact moveset as warriors since 2.0. Edda's Scythe is readily available from the mog station so clearly it is possible for DRK to be both GS and scythe. If Nero's hammer went on the mogstation I might just buy it though I would prefer it be in-game.

I'd like to see "heavy gauntlets". Similar to Monk, but with more raw power behind the moves and less martial-arts. Haymakers, zangief-esque lariats, drop-kicks, etc.

You know what, I've been causing some grief over the idea of poorly implemented 'Hammer' blunt tanks for a while now, but I'd be totally down for this. In fact, let's go one step even further beyond. Let's make a tank that has wrist mounted Pile Bunkers

I'd totally be down for gunshields. It'd reduce the overlap with Monk by a good deal too.

Chain saw would be interesting
but we need more blunt weapons so hammer/mace/ball and chain what ever

The third one in this picture below ...shows up in the Paladin quests.

Hmm... So many cool weapons I'd love to tank with!

Naginata:


Glaives:


GUNFISTS:


Heck, I could even see some sort of Magitek Grenadier style class, where you use a similar device as the MCH does but you generate a bunch of grenades and other explosives and toss them at your enemy, with a feeling not too dissimilar from the Saboteur soul in Rift, tossing out different bombs to stick onto a target and then detonating them all at once! - The actual weapon model could be either some sort of Magitek-esk Grenade Launcher or even just some sort of Grenade belt (Either around the waist or across the torso)

I would like a dual wielding rune fencer who's gimmick would be to use runes to shield himself and allies.

We need rocket-powered gauntlets. Erupting Burning Fingers for everyone.
