Red Mage (Tank) Please!

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Red Mage being a tank would allow people who like the casting play-style of classes play it. We need different kinds of tanks and honestly, War/DRK/PLD play close. Warrior is the only one that is a bit more complex with its use of Vengeance and Defiance stacks. Dark Knights are "NOT" caster tanks, they do not "CAST" anything, they are "Magic" Defense Tanks.

I want a "Caster" Tank, because the play-style isn't in the game yet and the only Mage that really fits it is the jack of all trades Red Mage.

Not only does it sound cool, it would look cool as well because honestly what I see of a Red Mage is:

"A leader who uses a rapier and dances across the battlefield casting healing and damage spells."

Which means, he may in fact be more up close and personal then the other casters. Which makes him the perfect tank.

He may not wear as heavy armor as the other tanks, but he makes up for it with Earth and Wind magic making it easier for him to block attacks with each and enhance his body and use the wind to increase his evasion. He also has a magic shield which he can switch on and off.
