I'll be leveling Sam either way as well, but I'd greatly prefer it as a dps. I haven't leveled a melee dps (besides to unlock a job) specifically because I'm saving that fun for Sam.

I do get why people want more tanks in game, though I do not believe they'll get the results they are looking for. Instead of turning our favorite dps into tanks to try and balance things out for the DF, wouldn't it be better to pull tanks out of the plethora of FF jobs?
