Are they ever

[Kogasan]

Anyone ever wonder if se will ever make special mounts for the rest of the jobs instead of just tanks. I understand that they are trying to make more people play tank jobs. But shouldn't they expand that to more then just tank jobs. Like to the healer jobs and the dps. I feel kinda left out that I see all these posts about tank jobs getting special mounts and I don't play tank jobs. I really think Se needs to get there heads outta just tank jobs get special mounts or pvpers get special mounts and not the rest of the jobs. Anyone agree with me?

"Wehhhhh mommy, they're getting special toys and I'm not getting any! I want some!"

That's what I'm hearing. And you know what? Tank still comes up as the most common "adventurer in need" on Duty Roulette. Even with all the incentives, there still aren't enough tanks.

But, y'know what? You're right. Let's give special class mounts to all the classes. And ninety million gil. And instant level fifty on everything.

Don't tank? That's fine. You don't get the special reward for it. Want 'em? Man up and tank.

Is all that really necessary? I understand your point of view, but really there's no reason to be a dickhead when someone is just stating an opinion.


Anyway, white mages also get a mount all to their own, so I don't really see why it would be out of the question. I often wondered about that myself. I know they included incentives specifically for tanks, but i think the main reason why tanks and sometimes healers are in such short supply is because of a lack of variety. I usually tank in MMOs myself, but neither paladin or warrior really appeal to me. I do intend on trying dark knight out in the expansion however.

Actually, looking back, I probably was a little harsh. I should probably refrain from posting after work...

Anyway, I didn't even know there WAS a CNJ mount. What point I was trying to make was when something unique is given to everyone, it stops being unique. And, I can see your point of a lack of variety in Tank/Healer, because it's hard to design around a general goal of "Keep all the things on you" and "keep everyone alive" with deviation. It's not impossible (see: preventative medicine with SCH) and high DEF vs high HP. DPS is easier because there are more ways to go "make things dead".

It is good you're willing to give tank a shot, though.
And again, sorry about being so brash.

Too bad the tank mount isnt even rewarded for roulette... It's for EX/Coil where tanks have all the incentive they need

That's kinda dumb.

Once you have the Lion and the Bear, you don't actually care and see their design faults.

Think theres more ponies running around out there than special mounts.

I don't use mine.

SE missed the point with the tank mounts anyway, since the content they're rewarded for - ex primals and coil - never had an absence of tanks to begin with. The content where this would have helped, dungeons, low level stuff, where the "adventurer in need" bonus pops for tanks all the time, doesn't really gain anything from these mounts. It only makes people do what I do: spam T4 200 times on each tank job for the mounts, just to switch back to my main job after and go farm something else. It is not an incentive to play one of the tank jobs in content where they are missing.

Even worse for WHM, which just requires getting to 30 WHM and doing a quest. So, it's progress. . .

As to OP, they already (failingly) did it with WHM. SCH could use one, maybe, but there's absolutely no reason to give it to the DPS. In fact, giving it to the DPS jobs is the exact opposite of productive. You want a unique mount, you fill a role people don't want to fill.

There'll be way more mounts in 3.0. And, with everyone and their mother getting a DRK in 3.0, the tank problem should be alleviated somewhat. We may not get good tanks, but we'll have more of them.

[HeavensSword]

We don't need mounts for every job. The whole point was to add extra incentive to tank content, as you have mentioned. So how does that work if every job got a mount?
