I think SAM should be DPS. Their offensive capability would be severely hindered if they are placed in the tank role, and I feel that SAM should be one of the strongest DPS in the game. SAM were one of the strongest DPS in FFXI and it just would not feel right, to me, to see SAM as a tank. While I do understand how SAM could be placed in the tank role, I feel that we do not need another sword wielding tank job, and SAM would be a great addition to the game as a sword wielding DPS.
