    A Thief tank would be interesting... Obviously Steal would apply to enmity, which would be different enough from Provoke, somewhat fits with XIs Thief as well. That would make it an evasion based tank that steals enmity, rather than building it themselves. I like that concept lol, you'd have your regular DPS skills from Rogue, and then Thief skills for gaining and maintaining hate. Actually reminds me of Zidane, he certainly wasn't a stealthy Thief, more of a mischievous, center of attention, type Thief.

    Only trouble though would be the evasion aspect. RIFT has an interesting rogue-styled tank that teleports around the monster to evade attacks but I don't think that'd work here with all the positional requirements of DPS. But nonetheless it would still be possible to have a rogue-styled tank. Perhaps that's why the tank is taking so long to implement - they are trying to create a balanced new tank style.
