Next Tank Job?

[Lucke]

Ok first, we're getting a Ranged DPS next - Musketeer. That will prolly turn into Gunner. Archer could also evolve into Ranger which gives us another ranged DPS.

Mime/Mimic could be the class that BLU evolves from. I don't know how SE would implement it since skills/spells are learned automatically when you level up. There's no need to learn Mob abilities.

I do wish they'd take more jobs from FFT. I wanna see how Calculator, Geomancer, and Animist, etc would work.

Reaper could be a class that uses scythes which turns into DRK. Could be a tank that uses Aborb spells like Absorb-STR, Absorb-HP, etc to help them take less dmg and have some self-sufficiency.

DRK as a tank would be acceptable. I imagine them as the Death Knights from WoW... except cooler.
BLU I believe Yoshi-P said that he didn't know how this would work in the game (given that monster skills would be ridiculous to try and work into a class).
RMG Is the class that Yoshi-P wants to implement the most apparently but he said he wouldn't now where to begin to balance it
SAM would be a good class to throw in and would be pretty fun to play I think. Tank or DPS it would be pretty cool regardless.
NIN probably going to end up in the game eventually and will most likely be a DPS, ranged DPS or Melee, we'll see (think Yuffie).

All the other classes still have a lot of speculation around them, the ones above just seem to be the ones that get brought up the most, lol.

I would like to see a mage Tank. Either a shapeshifter mage or one that can cast a protection spell on itself. Would be more interesting than another melee tank.

SAMURAI should be a support DD.

Like AoE TP Regain, or able to inflict a mob with status effect so you don't need to position yourself flank or rear but still receive dmg buff.

Skillchain ....

The next tank should be templar! They already have all the means to set it up. Base class could be lancer.

This. Not entirely sure how it'd work though, given Lancer is set up with directional combos.

Maybe have a stance that adds different affects to those two abilities when used from the Front (as well as defensive and +enmity stuff). Something like - Impulse Drive has increased Enmity when used from the front, and Heavy Thrust decreases enemy damage dealt when used from the Front.

I'd actually really like to see SAM as a tank personally. I think its the only way I'd end up playing it. But I'd also be very surprised if they did that. I think a lot of people would be very upset if it wasn't a DPS. But then again, I think everyone would rather see every class as a DPS.

I just hope the next Class released comes with two Jobs and that they aren't both DPS. I also hope if/when they add new Jobs to the existing classes that they aren't all just the same Role as the one they already have (ex.- adding another DPS Job for PUG or LNC, adding another Healer Job to WHM, etc.)

Is "Templar" really FF?
Other than being an enemy exclusive in FFT I don't remember seeing this job show up on any of the Main FF Titles...

My wish is to put the Dancer to a Tank role.
PLD -> Damage mitigation via skills
WAR -> Damage absorption via sheer HP + more potent damage dealer to end the fight faster
DNC -> Damage recuperation via self-heal (a job branch of PUG since unfortunately daggers belong to GLD)

On a side note, I really wish Dual Wield to be implemented NOT AS A NIN Exclusive but available to any single hand weapon jobs.
However with the current Armoury system and lack of class "trait" sharing it's more likely for a new category of weapons called something like "Dual Blade" to be created

FFTA and TA2, bangaa-only job, spear-wielder and has a variety of anti-mage abilities as well as requiring tanky jobs to unlock.
Not even that arcane of a job, i'd say.

Most likely their combos will be adjusted when you equip a Templar Soul Stone to be more Tank Role focused.

Enmity effects can be added to their basic combos while their position skills are changed to work when they are infront of the enemy if LNC equips a Templar SoulStone.
