Sorcerer/ sorceress job

[SorceressVal]

A tank class that uses instant casts at the same cast and cool as a normal tank .
Due to speed it of course would land within the tanks damage threshold.
Weapon- main hand - tattoo designs on arms -off hand - amulet necklace -
Its pull would be a accual draw in effect on weaker enemies and like normal on stronger ones . Effecting a area and able to attack normal from a distance or up close on its regular combos giving it a unique ability to control mob movement and matinance
As for stats it could use similar stat focus as drk with less focus on str and more on int
For gear - it can ware the normal tank gear as it wouldnt be that different from drk stat wise . Of course it would get is unique gear at completion .
Stance - 1 for tanking would speed up attacks increase def and aggro generation - 2 for DPS would give it caster time spans increase damage normal aggro generation lower def.

Well it can't be ranged.

Just make a tank class with a great hammer and give it animations like this: https://youtu.be/7wEWBKkFViY?t=4m17s

That would be war... There is a hammer weapon for it or I should say was way back in the beginning on ps3 ... But yeah in terms of ability and use it would be almost identical to war .

uh...if they made a different class with a different weapon it wouldn't be almost identical...they would give it distinct skills and abilities to set it apart. And I'm not sure why you'd think that just because "in the past" they did it one way, that it means they HAVE to do it the same way now.

[SorceressVal]

Yes it would be almost identical - give at alil imagination u can picture it same swings same speeds same basic style as war . Not to mention war accualy had a hammer as a weapon so the different weapon thing is off the table

[SorceressVal]

We get it u like hammers but yes it's the same .... Seeing as war accualy had that as a weapon I don't see how it could not be the same . ... I know I'm not the only one who sees that

A great hammer is nothing like an axe.

And that's in the past. You can do things differently you know.

You keep mentioning this, yet I don't see any proof of warriors actually having a hammer weapon in XIV, not even back in 2.0. Can you give us a link of this hammer?

Also, a ranged tank simply wouldn't work in this game, with how most bosses do melee auto-attacks.

[Tegernako]

I think they were maybe talking about another FF game? Maybe XI or whatever the other mmo was.

[koroko220]

Yeah ffxi never had Any great hammers. And I've been around since 2.0, there were never any great hammers for warrior either. Like your idea for sorcere(r/ss) tank. I don't think they'd let them have too many ranged skills, but still a neat, unique idea as far as ffxiv goes.
