the need for 3rd tank class

[Swagcity]

I share some of the same experience in my 11 years playing XI. However:





There are 2 things I never want to see from XI again. Especially in XIV.
- Jobs the Development Team designed for one specific role stripped of it completely by the community and the Team gave up on them.
- On the fly gear set changes in combat.

I see what you are saying, However, a tank is a tank imo, regardless of the job (As long as ppl are willing to play them). Ninja and samurai still served a purpose in-game despite what SE intended them to be. I do not play much 14 atm, but judging from this thread, there is a shortage of willing tanks. I mean, finding tanks in XI was somewhat difficult, but I do not recall SE adding incentives just for them. I understand your premise though.

Eardstapa stated that SE may need to add a coveted job as a tank (Samurai), I have to agree. Add SAM to 14 and subscription/sales may go up aswell XD. FF fans love dem some SAM.
