That would be one badass Samurai intro for an MMO.

I'd main it. I've been waiting for Sam since 1.x hoping it'll be in the next set of jobs released.

I would also like to play samurai in FFXIV.

tank#4 plz

I have a strong feeling that a new 4th Tank will be added soon either (Samurai, Defender, etc.) regardless of the name.

Our current 10 jobs system 'normal' breakdown for (Tanks/Healers/DPSs) is 18.2%/18.2%/63.3%, but actually there is far less Healers and even less Tanks.

if the new Jobs will be added the 'normal' breakdown will boost both Tanks and healers from 18.2% to 23.1% and reducing DPSs to 53.8%.

If it were to me add new jobs, I would add 1 Healer & 2 Tanks.

Yet considering that:

1. Heavensward is a new game that 'should' have starting classes/jobs, it is vital to add all three types to choose from.
2. Adding 2 Tanks will create a dilemma Tank1 vs. Tank2.
3. Keeping the 4th Tank to some later stage will breathe life into the game, thus more returning/new players will come to play the newest tank.
4. There is no need to dispatch two jobs for tanks, because -for some reason- is Thee Tank that should be played, while the Mechanist will have the same spree as Ninja.

if we assume 50% of current players will play the new jobs, that will assure that tanks will possibly be out of the "Adventurer in Need" in favour for Healers.

Overall, that wouldn't change the numbers much though. Most people maining the new class would be career tanks anyway. Shifting from a PLD/WAR main to a DRK/SAM main doesn't do anything for the tank population.

if we assume 50% of current players will play the new jobs, that will assure that tanks will possibly be out of the "Adventurer in Need" in favour for Healers.

More like 50% of players would level up the new jobs, then go back to their mains.

How is this relevant to FF14?

Is not. People seeing good-looking stuff and wanting it here.

Our current 10 jobs system 'normal' breakdown for (Tanks/Healers/DPSs) is 18.2%/18.2%/63.3%, but actually there is far less Healers and even less Tanks.

You should not go under the assumption that the system's proportions of jobs will be the playerbase's proportions of said jobs.

1. Heavensward is a new game that 'should' have starting classes/jobs, it is vital to add all three types to choose from.

You won't be able to start the game with 3.0 jobs. They're meant for people who completed 2.55 story arc. Thus there is no real need to have the 3 types to begin with. This solution just allows to add new gameplays in every role.

if we assume 50% of current players will play the new jobs, that will assure that tanks will possibly be out of the "Adventurer in Need" in favour for Healers.

1) you're assuming a lot. People will level new jobs for abilities to grab if there are, story, cool-looking armor, then go back to their main. Eventually, I'd be surprised if more than 20% of the players end up maining the new jobs.

2) I'm not sure why adding a new tank is suddenly going to make them not "adventurers in need" anymore, as people still won't bother to take the tank duty and just go the lazy-ass dps route.


Don't take me wrong. DPS aren't all lazy people, far from it. But lazy people tend to go for DPS most of the time because you can perform horribly from a gameplay perspective and still succeed, while a shitty tank or healer will doom the group in most content. Gladfully, the last story trial will weed out a bit these people by forcing them to perform a decent job or by stopping them at 3.0's entrance because they can't get carried through.
