Yet... You want SAM as a Tank heavily DPS focused with a "Dodge" mechanic.

You basically want to strip away some of the differences that make each current Tank job different. Remember there are no hybrid jobs in this game by design. If an OT WAR is doing more DPS than an actual DPS Role, that is a player issue and not the system.

It is no where defined that SE needs to follow adding one of each Role in every expansion. HW is a poor example:

- SE learned their lesson adding a new job in between 2 versions, but...
- Did you forget that Ninja was added in 2.4, yet HW still introduced another DPS.

Why do I say all this? Historically in the genre, tanks makeup the smallest percentage of players. Coming down to play styles in the Role.

There is a good possibility that 4.0 could bring in more than 3 jobs, 2 of which could be DPS. Especially with SE no longer wanting to do new jobs between major versions and classes not in the picture anymore.
