New Tank (Beastmaster)

[Iagainsti]

If you check the 4th tank thread, we collaborated on this before. I like the totem idea as a wep, just instead of having a pet per se, the "animals" summoned are just cool animations for stance buffs. Ex- Adamantoise buff that absorbs 30% of all incoming damage for 20 seconds or up to 15k hp, the action animation would be an ethereal adamantoise that stands by your side. A dps stance that increases action potency by 50 f

A beastmaster without a pet is the fastest way to ruin the class. I'm not one to say that the jobs can't feel different/be adapted to fit into FFXIV - I'm fine with smn and drk for example. But this would be bad.
