What future weapons will tanks have?

[liljramos88]

So I made this topic on healers and just wondering what your ideas. We have swords,axes,and great swords. it looks like you can have any combo with a shield andstill be viable as a tank.personaly would like to see a mace for some type of battlemage tank or even take out the conjurers wands and add a mage tank like illusionist(think of a magician using illusions and tricks to hold your attention) anyways wat would u like to sdd

I'm surprised it has taken them this long but OmniKnight style two handed hammer/WarClub. Can even give him the Blunt resist Down skill to synergize with MNK

One-handed Flail : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail_%28weapon%29 (Paired with Shield for Blunt Resistance Down Debuff)

Double or Single Headed Meteor Hammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxPO6nwQvxY (Dodge based Tank)

Guzheng Musical Instrument: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujzMHLac404

I personally would just like a musical weapon that I could sit down and play while idling in Idyllshire for everyone else to enjoy if nothing else. It'd be a sort of AoE based music field where players could walk into it and listen to various songs. A handle on the end of it means it could be swung, thrusted, and have the ability to block. It'd be sorta' silly but some fun stuff needs to happen during combat too, not just super serious do or die stuff.

EDIT: We should have glamour instruments that would function like this anyway. Guitar-axe for warriors, Harp for Bard, Wind instruments for healers, Violin for Paladin, etc. Just something silly and fun. It has the potential of being absolutely beautiful though if they do stuff like the Guzheng I linked.
EDIT II: Actually.....you could go so far as to give instruments skills that are strings of notes you could pair with other strings to make your own songs from bits and pieces. It would take a lot of time to do something like this, but you could be a sidewalk musician where people give you small tips just because you brighten up their day or make them feel really inspired.
EDIT III: I'm bad at thinking and suggested a tank have a weapon that exists already. Henceforth it's been deleted.

Guandao type Polearm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guandao

Polearms are already a DRG thing

Polearms are already a DRG thing.

GG me, I'll remove that from my suggestions since it'd have to be paired with a shield or something just to distinguish it from dragoon.

Bad suggestion is bad.

Tsunami blade...get it? anyone?









I'll just let myself out.

A stick!

Na I like to see Geomancy with a Hammer a Tank class since he's gear isn't as a squishy mage.

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

A rapier or an epee. I realize it's just a pipe dream, but I seriously want a red mage tank job.

Club hammer, blunting resistance attacks would be a must have.
