Physical Ranged TANK

[MaraD_]

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

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

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

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.)
