You're undermining people's argument's like crazy. And here you are asking SAM to be a direct replacement to WAR, which you've been stuck on and trying to switch from? How is that not entirely selfish?

Logical and factual arguments? DRG has heavy armor, but is a DPS? MNK uses leather, but had Taunt in 1.0?
Also, about the queue times. A different kind of tank, one that is more Mage-like, would help the queue times way more in the long run.
Right as I mentioned in previous posts, my opinion is biased but I will stand by it, I thought over a Red Mage tank as well and think that would be awesome so I can agree there, but this is a SAM thread so I'm trying to stay on topic here. Anyways to your point about my selfish
opinion about WAR? Your so wrong in thinking I'm selfish because of that... Melee can switch between the melee in a raid environment, ranged can switch between the ranged, "main tank" can switch between pld/drk, "main healer" whm/ast, casters blm/smner... Sch and War are essential jobs to raiding,idm if the new tank is a war rep SAM or not but I love SAM so I stated my opinion I would like it to become the new tank, my points stand about DPS opinions being pretty selfish and feeling insulted by people thinking we don't need anymore tanks, was more of a reaction from thinking this game only needs 3 tanks.
