Non bladed tank please :)

[seigun]

I am really happy with all the classes offered, but with the variety offered with DPS and healing, would it be possible to create a tank class that does not use a blade of some sort? A hammer comes to mind. (Actually, I think welding a hammer or a mace would legitimately be very cool.)

I\\'m sure that there are other possibilities.
I ask partially because it feels lacking in variety, and it would be neat to try a different style that used a more blunt weapon with deeper, different, and thuddy sounds.
Thanks!

Rhitahtyn Arvina, duel shield-gun magitech tank from ARR..

the lore and weapon is already there, just let us play with it..

Nero could pass on the tech to us in the job quest line, or any nameless tech for that, and the plot could center around protecting Garlemald and training new protectors while they rebuild while facing past enemies who justifiably want to see them wiped out for past crimes, but giving the potential for them to find common ground...

just an ideal <3

Give us a Juggernaut. Let us wield a big 2h Warhammer and shake the earth with pulverizing might. The Roegdan I know are already warriors, but why not throw them another beefy tank job.

Notable features:

• Equipment is a heavy Hammer + Shield combo OR Double Shield with the Dual Shield passive
• Cover on steroids, extremely high defensive values
• Using Weight stat (Heavy) and Brave Points (amount of spendable turns) as job mechanics for heavy hitting attacks, mitigating loads of damage and dealing with the speed penalties and other status effects
• God of revenge damage.

...brought it up since Pictomancer got added in Dawntrail, which is both a FFVI and a BD2 job.

Didn't they confirm in a recent interview that hammers and dual shields were both being considered for new Jobs? I expect we'll find out once we're closer to 8.0 which, assuming they stick to the same roles added in previous expansions, should come with a new Tank and Aiming DPS

If you can get a hold of which interview it was that'd be awesome, I'd love to read it.

Well, I found where I initially saw it mentioned, but frustratingly enough they didn't link back to a source in the thread itself. This account tends to be fairly reliable (they do breakdown threads on the Live Letters and etc.), though

No new tanks pls.
They can't even balance the 4 tanks we have now without making one of them the best at everything.

hate to tell you that no amount of dev team will stop the warrior enjoyers from complaining if they dont have highest DPS/HPS/Utility..
you can enjoy DRK as the ugly stepchild it is, or give up and play the only tank that will actually see any time in the sun.

Yoshida said they have something of a contest for new job ideas. Some ideas included a job with a hammer that went far but was rejected. Another was a tank that used a shield on each hand.

I feel robbed.
