So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

I agree with this so much. Getting tired of people asking SAM to be a dps because they either:

- play tank and would rather play dps
- want to play a tank-like job and not be a tank in terms of mastery and responsibilities

The reason I find their points annoying is because they do not truly believe SAM will be better off as dps. It is simply them wanting SAM to be more approachable to them.

For a few reasons I posted before, I expect SAM to be a dps. However, I would prefer it to be a tank.

I main Tanks and Healers, and I want a melee DPS because MNK and DRG aren't really to my liking. NIN is okay. Your attempts to make tank players who don't want another tank appear "selfish" is kind of transparent.

Actually, it is not that simple. If one would say that they want SAM to be a dps while giving an example as to why that would be the better case for them or for the game, that would be fine. There is no "selfish" involved due to the game being a game and everyone having different things to their liking.

I understand your point about MNK and DRG not being to your liking and honestly my taste is in line with yours. My problem starts when I realize that even if I'd like to have a dps alt to my liking, for the case of SAM, I simply cannot think of a "better" version of the job being dps rather than a tank.

In other words, a job should be implemented in the best form possible and not in the most popular one instead. If that can truly be done as a dps for the case of SAM, it is more than welcome, although I doubt that a non-tank SAM can really be the better option.
