Red Mage (Tank) Please!

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Not invalidating your request. There are no magic caster tank jobs, and it would be neat.

Personally, I'd like to see more varying playstyle in casters.

I'd watch your posts though, you've contradicted yourself. i.e.

"Hybrids cannot work in a game where all classes are designed to be one role. The only class that has multiple roles is tanks which can heal and dps well."
vs
"White Mage is also a ranged caster, so is Scholar. So is Astrologer. It has the same playstyle when you throw on cleric stance."

We have Bard, We have Machinist, We have Summoner, We have Black Mage for DPS
For healing casters we have White Mage, Scholar, Astrologer.

For Tank we have.. Nothing.

Also, White Mage/Scholar/Astrologer indeed do have that same role when they use Cleric Stance, however whilst they do the tank is getting his face melted

Tanks are generally considered "boring" because the nature of their role does not allow them to possess the mechanical complexity inherent in dps. If tanking required as much mechanical skill as dps without a drastic shift in encounter mechanics almost no one would do it.

Can still make a fun tank with some interesting mechanics as long as its not too complex.

Well it could be a tank or a support really. Personally I'd like to see a tank class ppl won't avoid like the plague cause "its boring". News flash: All roles press a sequence of buttons resulting in causing cascading numbers to appear in your screen(how larger numbers affect fun I'll never understand) so please SE, give us more " interesting " tanks to utilize.

I agree =3
