    Give Dragoons a Tank stance.

    I'm not asking for them to be a Tank. However the ability to put up a stance and tank in a pinch would be a very fun and cool mechanic to have for the class. I've always thought Dragoon's looked a bit squishier then they should be, however I am biased because I love the play-style.

    Making their attacks increase threat instead of doing damage from the front.

    Keen Flurry.
    They're the parry-tank that Marauder was supposed to be.

    I've always been a bit disappointed I couldn't cross-class Keen Flurry onto Warrior....

    Even without a proper stance dragoons are well equiped to tank the floor.

    We actaully already have rediculous threatgen as well as strong defensive abilities. We're strong enough that we can tank on-level dungoun mobs where other classes would struggle, but not so rediculously strong that we can survive raid bosses at on-level (Though 've off-tanked bahamut once due to a mix of keener flurry and the timing of a skill coming out, along with plenty of healbombs. This is because I was overleveled though.)

    Would prefer if they're going to try and give us tanking skills they just give us a new soulstone for like, a "Holy Dragoon" or something.

    Only if it increases their physical defense and decreases their magic defense even further, thus making them more hilarious.

    Decrease magic defense even further....? You didn't know that DRG's magic defense had been fixed since patch 2.45? That was months ago lol. DRG's mdef is currently similar to that of other DOW classes aside from actual tanks. In fact, DRGs are currently the tankiest non-tank class, with higher Pdef, higher HP, Mdef that is on par with other classes, and lots of defensive skills/cross class skills.

    The only problem they have are the animation locks for jumps, which had been reduced many times (and confirmed to be reduced even further in 3.0), but that's why they have a higher hp and pdef... So they can take a hit.
