Please Reconsider Splitting Main and Off-Tank Roles Based on Job

They were very explicit and Yoshi himself repeated during the dev panel that MT/OT split applies only to Evolved mode, 2min is dead in both modes. Slide at 6:11:54 in day 1 livestream VOD.

Yeah to me this just indicates that tools that explicitly are more about others (Heart of Light) etc are now a thing for one role, while tools more about yourself (the new counterattack, such stuff) are for the other role.

Yeah. I hope we get to see some OT gameplay in Berlin because right now it seems like PLD has it all, though I think it's worth noting that PLD lost the heal on Divine Veil. We already have some split in party mitigation between barrier + heal tanks (WAR PLD) and magic / half phys mits (DRK GNB), I can see a world where the OT party mits are just stronger and/or have shorter cooldowns. MT will still have the tools, just like regen healers have mits / barriers, but barrier healers are just better at it.
