Weapon of Choice for future Tanks?

[EdwinLi]

So what weapon would you like to see as a future Tank Job weapon?

For me I am hoping for...

Gunblade because as times goes on it feels the storyline puts these weapon users as Tanks. Hard to not consider Gunblade Users as tanks when characters we encounter that use them tend to act like Tanks.

Glaive as a Tank weapon always peak my interests. They're heavy but have long reach by their design.

Dual Swords has always been a interesting one for me. Often they are either used for a fast attacking DPS or a Parry based Tank gameplay. It would be a interesting Tank to have that focus on different Parry mechanics.

The DPS Job Weapon and Healer Job Weapon are/will be on the Tank and Healer Role Threads.

Weird as it is, a whip makes sense, whip and a shield or chair for the lols, like a circus beastmaster/tamer, probably Garlean in origin. They really make up for the lack of magic in their lives.
