While this seems logical, it is actually not what "all tanks should level". In fact the opposite, if a tank is going to go a DPS route, they should level a ranged. This is because all raids thus far can be completed generally easier with a stacked ranged composition. It is correct a tank will attune better to a melee class in general, but that won't matter if 4/4 spots are ranged ones. In general, most groups take one token melee, and that is all they want. So in a raid group that needs a fill in for a spot, or simply one tanking a fight, a ranged DPS would be a far more logical thing to have as a secondary. Which one is up to the OP. BRD or BLM probably.
