Guess that Tank love!

[EdwinLi]

Unless the other tanks get something as good as hallowed ground, paladins are going to continue to be a staple for endgame. I expect warriors and dark knight to be interchangeable depending on what utility they bring in the way of debuffs. If DRK has an intelligence debuff it can apply (like dragon kick) then I expect hands down it'll be the go to raid tank next to paladin.

Ya just for Raiding but everything else is the other.

So let play Guess that game again this time try guess what the popularity of the 3 Tanks in 3.0 after 3 months.

I say after 3 months because that should be enough time for the Tank population to balance out between those who will be choose Dark Knight as their main tank job and those who will turn back to Paladin or Warrior as their main tank job.

Of course by then 3.1 should be released around that time.

For my guess I say...

1st) Warrior
2nd) Dark Knight
3rd) Paladin

PALADIN #1!

PALADIN #1!

It did quite well in population when things settled down. It wasn't until they nerfed Rog/ninja when the population dropped even more.

The developers have been getting better and better with their new creations. The raids and dungeons have been getting more intricate strategies and ninja has the most interesting combat out of all the jobs so far in my opinion. I'm thinking dark knight just might be the most fun out of the three because the developers are better at their jobs now. But that also means they could add abilities to the other two up to lvl 60 that could make them a lot more enjoyable.

I'll level all the new jobs to 60 and probably end up staying with MNK XD Same with my second job on main, atm is PLD, if I like DRK more then ill second job DRK instead, otherwise, PLD ^_^

On my alt, I will try the new healer job and if I like it more than SCH (<3 SCH why I made an alt to gear up same speed as main) will switch. Otherwise I'll stay with SCH on her too.

Was same with NIN, static asked if I wanted to switch to NIN being main melee in static, my reply was I won't know till I try it. And I'm still MNK XD

[TouchandFeel]

I'm going to just take all 3 to cap.
Probably going to take DRK to cap first and then do PLD, then WAR.
As far as which one I stick on for main, it will really depend on what new abilities that PLD and WAR bring to the table for 50-60. IMO PLD really needs something to give it just a bit more complexity and to up the fun factor.
I will say though, that conceptually as well as animation-wise Dark Knight and Astrologian are looking pretty awesome to me.

[Chiramu]

Both PLD and WAR don't suit my play style so it doesn't matter for me about which tank is more popular, I'll be trying DRK and hoping that it's fun for me to play .

[myahele]

yeah, with the increased development time I'd imagine it'd be more fun and have a variety of skills
