Physical Ranged TANK

[Seraphor]

Um... Melee DPS have positions to hit, usually at the rear.

People queue into content as a DPS to play DPS, not to tank. If they wanted to tank, they'd play a Tank.

Why? This whole thing reads like a tank-for-players-that-don't-want-to-tank. A literal Blue DPS.

A literal Blue DPS.

Leave gunbreaker out of this.

Yeah, the buff would remove positional requirements for melee DPS. (otherwise this would lead to a DPS loss for the group.)

That was one of the two primary inspirations for this job.
(1) Was how to do a "Pet tank" in FFXIV, due to terrible pet controls, and how mechanics work (in this case, the pet is the other player)
and
(2) How to "get more people to queue as tank" by technically not actually tanking. (and in turn, might actually lower the number of people who queue as DPS, since the only way to avoid being targeted by this job, is to BE this job.)

But as I thought about DNC, and changed to tanks, I realized the actually implemented methods which made this semi joke of a job possible. (Even though its inspiration was a joke, I'd totally make it anyways.)

Not sure if it work, but i think if this job exist, it will be too OP since now every party only need 1 tank in their party rather than 2 thank, to main reason of 2 tanks is for tank swap, so if there is a job that can change other job into tank than why bother with it 2 tank while that job can just changing partner after tank swap

Beside forcing an DPS player play a tank role is kind of annoying, i rather have pro tank for hardcore raid than half-baked tank that try to do as much damage as possible because of their parces
