@Naoki Yoshida-> Make Samurai a Tank class!

[Katana190]

I was thinking, if SAM is released and is a DPS. And we only get 2 DPS in this expansion, what would that mean for 5.0? Surely we would get a Tank and Healer? But a big argument people make about adding DPS is their appeal and their selling point for new players, as DPS is the most open and have the least responsibilities (In casual content). Going by this logic 5.0 would either see 3 new jobs AGAIN or 2 new jobs... and 1 would have to be a DPS. Leaving either Tank or Healer in the dark for FOUR YEARS. This doesn't seem like a healthy decision for the game.

I still believe SAM has a 50/50 of either DPS or Tank but that doesn't mean I think it's the right decision. But I've heard some fair-ish arguments... like how there is a pattern to how they've been adding Jobs so far. Melee DPS - NIN, Ranged DPS - MCH, Tank - DRK, Healer - AST. And now back to Melee. Or how currently we have 2 str, 2 int, 3 dex, 3 mnd and 3 vit. So adding SAM - Str and RDM - Int, would balance the attributes.

We'll know for sure in 2 months, and I'll physically be at the event this time! I personally really want SAM to be a Tank but I've prepared myself to not be disappointed since DRK was given Tank, meh.
Just my input on the matter anyways.

+ Said it a million times, I really hope it doesn't use a 2-handed Katana but Dual wields Katana's, DPS or Tank, mainly because as a Tank we have enough 2 handers and as DPS... so I can laugh at them getting another dual wielding job, I kid. But seriously 2-handed Katana is so typical and boring IMO, but I'll still use it because I'm a filthy weeb I love the aesthetics of Samurai
