So his opinion definitely matters.

I don't feel like he will make it DD or tank for sure (things change, etc, etc), but for people who are posting like "it's going to be tank" there is more to say it isn't decided or fixed than to say it is. It was not some offhand comment saying that it was going to be DD/Tank for sure, just that I don't see where people's confidence is coming from rather than just their own wish that it would be (due to DF, or personal role they'd like it to be) - as a lot of people seem to be posting it as a matter of fact. Personally would not be shocked if it was DD or Tank.

I would be surprised if it was a healer though, that'd catch me off guard.. lol.
I'm pleasantly surprised to find someone with the ability to think rationally! Yes, you have your own personal thoughts/theories/desire, but you're still able to put them aside for a moment to think about other possibilities. /salute

Like you, I was expecting SAM to be a tank, especially after Yoshi's comments about the job just before the launch of 3.0. However, after reading that same comment, I have been now considering the possibility of SAM being a dps. My personal wishes are that it'll be a dps, but I'm expecting it to be a tank.
