Roles for Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer

[Xlantaa]

I don't undetand why people becomes agressive when someone suggest Samurai as tank, as if was some thing of heresy ask for it. Think on it. Samurai can be both Tank or DPS perfectly of course, but if comes both Red Mage and Samurai together in the same expasion (if that happens of course), which really will be each? And please, not with the "mage tank is new!" or "we have too much sword tanks" (btw, red mage uses sword/rapiers) and that. Please think on how the game works. Picking the current job config, what you think fit better this classes with the current job configuration?



If Red Mage or Samurai are a Tank, they will look like this image. Samurai probably won't look neither good with that, but, think on it. Between Red mage or Samurai, which one fit that gear? If you ask me, that thing fits more a Samurai than a Red Mage. A lot of people complain about the indetity of the jobs in this game, but you will allow this to red mage only in order to obtain a Samurai DPS?

Of course, still, like I said, can be both DPS, but then they won't come in the same expasion, which is not the theme of this thread (unless they put Red Mage as healer, Sam as DPS, which, can be, possible too).

I will add. This game will never put a tank in robes. Too much thigns must me changed for that.
