Shogun Tank Request Thoughts

[Arutan]

SE should just start adding job's specialisation. If a WAR/DRK wanna DPS, then so be it, he choose DPS as his role and got talent associated. If SAM wanna be tank, the same. MNK could also be tank, we must find a use for those eart fist someday.
WHM could go DPS.

Nah personally, If this were added, I wouldn't want it to be the next tank that's for sure. Give me Blue Mage or Rune Fencer please. This would somewhat be more of an Original Concept, adding a Shogun. I would absolutely be the Saltiest person ever if DPS got new jobs such as Blue Mage because tanks got something like this instead.

I understan your desire for a Job you like to see. Even if they were to add a Shogun, it would not likely be the next tank, so I think you do not have to worry.

should give samurai a second crystal to be tank. I would like to know how the jp are taking samurai as dps over tank since yoshi seems to listen to them more

I belive a subsantial amount is not very pleased with it beng DPS. The general consensus was that it was going to be a Armored Tank Samurai. They are saying that this version of the samurai is more akin to Ronin or Swordsman.

I do understand and am sorry for those who wanted SAM to be tank. (I'll still stick to my Mage-Bard) Yet I would also consider to choose different "FF tactics jobs" to be tank rather than just reverting DPS SAM into a Tank version. You could actually use the chance to ask for jobs like Knight, Templar, Hell Knight/Neverseer.

Indeed, however in Japanese, Palidain is called Knight, so im not sure a Knight job would come. Other then that however, it is for sure that the next Job would not be Shogun, but something else. But I just want to raise awareness for the devs to know, that some people would still like to see a Shogun Job, that Yoshida mentoned before.

Oh I see, kinda thought about Paladin being "Knight like" to be honest. Anyway, I like the idea of a Shogun and being tank. But I think, it would still need something to be special about... So people dont compare it all the time as SAM dps and so on. What for a weapon would Shogun wield? How would its Artifact gear look like and would it look different from Samurai?

Yet I do remember that the Dev said that they do not want to do 3 jobs in a expansion with that small group... And they definetly wouldnt do a new job like NIN in the middle of an expansion cycle. ><

Since tha Katana and Scabbard is taken. It could be the Oudachi or Nodachi. Maybe perhaps a Katana and Wakizashi, but that would seem more DPS like. But tanks seems to, at this time, lean more to heavy weapons rather then light weapons. That being said, I hope they dont choose the Kanabou or Tetsubou.

Shoguns AF would look like the original Final Fantasy Samurai, and I'm guessing dual wield katanad or use a wakizashi and katana

Personally, I agree with the statement about holding it off. I would really like to see a Dancer/BlueMage/Mystic Knight trio come out hopefully itd make things up for healers and tanks that got left out this time around

[RaijinSupreme]

its not impossible, but its not probable, at least no time soon. I wouldn't even think its coming 5.0 or 6.0.

Not gonna happen.

And from the saltiest of the tank community

You can choose to do nothing and that would be one way of dealing with the situation. But for me I want to try and change something. As of now nothing will change, So I aim for the future. Even if its one so far away still.
