Ya Know....

You- you realise that two of the three tanks have two-handed weapons, right?

My money is 100% in GUN tank, but that's because I believe the blufever leaks (BLU in 4.5, viera+ronso, GUN tank and DNC heals). So far it's been spot on, as have their other leaks.

War isn't a tank.... It's just a DPS the Devs decided to put enmity on their moves.... joking. And yea, the leaks are why I think Gunblade job is a tank.

I do too but at the same time I’ll feel bad for tank mains if it ends up being a DPS class.

Man, I'm really starting to see why people have such a problem with them adding so many DPS classes. I main tank but I've been wanting to level MNK and RDM...I know remember why I began playing tank to begin with...because the damn queue times are horrendous.

At first, I'm like regardless of what class they add queue times are going to suck but even after cross-world party implementation and clusters which I thought would help, it's still 15-20 minute wait times for certain dungeons and roulettes when you're playing a DPS because a large percentage of people either enjoy playing DPS classes, hate tanking or enjoy the appeal of the DPS classes alot more than the tanks. (There is a lot more variety in DPS classes)

I don't care if the Gunblade class (which I'm calling a SeeD for now) is a tank. I really hope it gives people a reason to try tanking.

I have my tanks at lvl 70 and I can honestly say I can't stand tanking. I hate leading the party, hate worrying about trying to keep hate on everything while still trying to DPS as much as possible. It's very tension building. I like focusing on my rotation and avoiding aoe markers. That said if Gunblade is a tank I won't be that disappointed. I'll still level it at some point but I wont main it like I would have if it was a DPS.

I think that's the thing that makes tanking so appealing to me. For me, the most important thing about tanking is keeping your party alive so I'll put postioning and cooldowns over concerning myself with DPS. From what I understand, the whole DPS thing comes from the raiding scene which I don't do so I could care less about the kind of meta those most people cocern themselves so much with. I do like big numbers but as long as I'm doing my job as a tank, I'm alright. The rotations are some of the easiest in the game in my opinion...I think DPS and Healer roles are much more difficult.

Tanking is a breeze, pull things, hold aggro, use cool downs (the healer will love you) and let the DPS kill shit.
