New Tank (Beastmaster)

[Kazrah]

Didn't Yoshi already say that he wanted the Samurai to be a DPS and not a Tank?

I was mostly making a shot at all the people I know who want samurai tanks. "Oh, you want a tank in heavy armor with a big sword that relies on parry?".....yeah, dark knight's that way. ------>

I do agree with you on most of those points though. I'm well aware of Aussie latency issues, which is why a pet tank job would probably bear about as much control over their pet as Machinist turrets (basically none at all). Either a greathammer, dual mauls or dual chopper axes would make more sense as weapons of choice given how unwieldy a carved-out massive wooden post would be. Some of the skills do seem either lackluster or broken as well, but I understand the attempt to link the Beastmaster to something more spiritualistic for the sake of job lore and ability inspiration.

BTW Sylve, if you're gonna talk WoW lore, orcs were the original shaman race before tauren. =P

I forgot about Orcs. Entirely. Whcih is sad considering my Shaman was an orc when i took down Lich King. /facedesk.

In my defense, i was primarily Alliance during vanilla up to mid Wrath... Which is no excuse at all, i cant believe i forgot about the orc shamans T-T

we got 3 tank jobs and 2 pet jobs we need 1 more pet jobs and we 3 healer jobs too. i don't think we end to destroy beast master to make another tanking class more like we need another pet class. seem to me you can find another job ff wiki to meet you goals it might be better

This basically said "Shaman (n): see White Mage". Given that white mages are the ones dealing with elementals in FFXIV, this would make sense.

yes shaman can be made for different class too notice they done it for many jobs
