Next Tank Job?

Yes, I love this idead.. It fits. Samurai are kown as protectors so them being a tank isnt to far from the idea. We need another tank class to help with tank population I believe.

I want to believe that, but outside of those that want to level one for the "experience" I doubt another tank class would boost the overall tank population in the long term. No doubt the "new car smell" would increase the population in the short term, but really...outside of a few people, only those that truely enjoy the tank role will continue. Tank player base has been small in just about every MMORPG regardless of the number of tank classes involved. The only fluke from my experience was SWTOR.

Edit : Still want my spear weilding samauri tank!

I personally think that more people would tank if they put out bigger numbers for damage. Using wow as an example, tanks still hit HARD in dungeons, and had alot of aoe to make it feel like you were still doing damage despite being a tank. Tanks feel super limited in their abilites. On average you are cycling through the same three moves over and over again until u have to hit a cooldown. PLD is especially boring...
