Thread: 4.0 Ideas

Now you mentioned stance dance, i reminded myself that samurai-tank started to be a tabu topic.

Actually all this hype for RDM tank made me think a little about 4.0 tank introduced. So SAM will not be stance-dancing tank with HP increased tank stance with single-target focusing skills? since DRK is similar to PLD, i would expect next tank to be similar to WAR, having dibs on self-buffing style of gameplay.
So far my speculations were like that. But since no one is saying a thing, i start to believe SAM will be a DPS, while tank role will be taken by some kind of weird class that existed only in certain FF episode. Like Viking... Ew.

Because i still discard RDM as tank idea.

He he he he... A-am i c-crying? ;__;

yeah, i don't even have hopes to be honest. i am afraid SE focuses all their attention around new ideas and gaming experience (like those that will be introduced in 3.3 :P) rather than improving/changing/expanding classes and jobs.

"it works! Don't touch it now, or it will stop working!"

You made a funny joke.

The dps stance was called Hasso, it gave attack speed, accuracy, and damage. The defensive stance was called Seigan and essentially when used in conjunction with another buff you would dodge or counter physical attacks aimed at you.

Considering how much inspiration they took to make Dark Knight I'm gonna go with not much.
