Physical Ranged TANK

[MaraD_]

It's a stretch to call the gameplay perfect, you haven't defined much about it's gameplay at all aside from it acting as a role swapper.

The phrasing is a bit hard for me to articulate in this case, when i said gameplay, i more so mean the gimmick. Obviously we havent touched on the gameplay. But let's pretend it a 1to1 in DPS rotation/abilities, and CD use of another tank, like GNB.
If you feel GNB isnt perfect, then which ever tank you feel is the closest to perfect. (The word "perfect" is an exaggeration, but meant to get across the idea that the gimmick lacks any serious flaw in its ability to function in content.) Obviously im not saying it SHOULD be a clone of said tank, just to use for testing out the gimmick.

I mean, if you have to resort to throwing DPS buffs on people to make it look more attractive.. It should sell itself.

This statement is true, but I'd like to clarify first, this only applies to OTHER groups of people wanting to bring the job along. In an EX party, would groups forbid such a job to come? I think its possible, but some are desperate for tanks.
As for the second part, the job can sell itself to those who want to play it, regardless of this buff.
So I think its good to clarify you mean those who would want, or not want, to invite it to parties. Not those who would or wouldnt want to play it.

Absolutely. When I queue up as a DPS it's because I want a break from tanking.

Technically you could have that very thing by BEING this job. Of course, you cant play as it forever, and sometimes you're trying to level up other stuff.

EDIT: I think if the group hasnt actually fought any mobs yet, its easily provable the job was kicked for being said job.
Unlike other scenarios where you need to see text talking about it.
So not only is it reportable, it would be bannable.
(The answer would be to pull mobs until times up, then kick. To which, I think most players would just keep going if there's no issues with the 1st bit of the dungeon being already over. but I could be wrong)
