Absolutely true, but ask yourself this: If you had to choose between a PGL and GLA to tank the darkhold, what would you choose? If you had both PGL and GLA geared and rank 50 and were asked to tank, which class would you choose?

Even MRD can tank just fine if you know what you're doing, but nothing can tank like a GLA. If it's SE's intention to make GLA the only dedicated tank class, that's fine. But what makes MRD, PGL, and LNC unique from each other besides the weapon, and an ability or two? Before it was kinda like this:

GLA: defensive tank
PGL: offensive tank
MRD: crowd control melee
LNC: support melee
ARC: ranged damage
THM: arcane magic
CON: elemental magic

Looks to me like Yoshi-P's "class uniqueness" was already in the game. Now this is the direction it appears to be heading to me:

GLA: tank
CON: healer/support
THM: nuke/debuff/DoT
ARC: ranged attack
MRD: melee
PGL: melee
LNC: melee

Yes, it isn't this cut and dry yet, but as I said, it looks like this is the direction we're headed in.
