New Tank Mounts Reskined

[Krojack]

No other jobs even get their own mounts...

White Mage has had one since 2.0.

Oh right, the one no one uses and hasn't been upgraded like the tank mounts.

[Reinha]

I hope we get a third re-skin for doing Shadowbringers content and that it has a glow or flame effect.

Actually the Unicorn mount Does fly now. But nobody uses it because everyone has it.

Will we even get tank mounts this time around?

We got them in the past to incentivize playing the least popular role, but in ShB the least popular role will have a fancy new gunblade job.

we got tank mounts in 2.0 we got drk in 3.0 which got its own mount added, we got flying tank mounts in 4.0, GUN is coming 5.0 other than it getting a mount or mounts i don't see anymore happening till 6.0 earliest and by then it would be nice to have mounts for every job won't happen but be nice to have

This.

I doubt the existing tanks will get a new set of mounts in Shadowbringers. I don't anticipate a 3rd achievement mount for each tank until 6.0

In HW the least popular role got a highly requested job with a badass sword... and people still wouldnt play it.
Or rather: They did, but they only leveled their DRK and their AST to 70 and then returned to their DPS-main, if they were a previous DPS-main.
Their reason for not giving us a new tank and healer in SB was that giving us DRK and AST with HW didnt actually increase the overall number of tanks and healers. And I seriously doubt that Gunbreaker is gonna be any different in that regard - most people are gonna try it out, maybe level it to 80... and then return to whatever DPS-class they were playing before. People wont suddenly enjoy tanking, because they can now do it with a gunblade. And they definitly wont enjoy tanking the more difficult duties like EX-primals and Savage (where tanks are even more in demand than normal dungeons - luckly they changed the achievements and you get mount-points for dungeons and roulettes aswell, but its pretty clear that the original intention was to get tanks into endgame-content).

Just the gunbalde wont be enough of an incentive for DPS to play a tank (more often). It will be enough for tank-mains to consider switching their tank-job, probably. But there is a reason that we have a thread requesting to turn Gunbreaker into a DPS: Most people dont want to play a tank and they wont even do it, even if its the job they wanted to play since 1.0.

Tank mounts clearly aren't getting people to tank either though, using the logic the devs worked to in SB that means they should stop doing them.

Don't get me wrong, I want a cool Gunbreaker mount, but a lot of people just seem to be assuming a new set of tank mounts for 5.0 is inevitable. I'm not so sure.

They're getting me to tank.
I want that panther mount and I do every 70 and Expert roulette as a DRK for it. Which has in turn made me a more proficient DRK.
