So all current tanks are melee which limits the play style somewhat. They are all too similar. I'm imagining something radically different.

Share your ideas what one may look and play like. Here's mine.

Weapon: Baton on each hand, one long and one short. Used to cast defensive and offensive magic.

Play style:
  • Low armor and natural defense. Leather/cloth-based designs.
  • Relies solely on self-buffs for constant mitigation, e.g. an always-on mitigation stance.
  • Dancing between magic and physical stances.
  • Attacks like BLM but mostly melee-range.
  • AoE debuffs on enemies, e.g. slow/bind/blind/vulnerability up.
  • Less on reducing received damage, more on weakening enemy attacks.

What do you think? What should this tank be called?
