Red Mage as possible new tank class

[TouchandFeel]

@Duelle

I am pretty sure the Rune Fencer from FFXI was supposed to be its version of Mystic Knight and that is why I suggested mixing the two to create a tanking Red Mage.

However, your example of having a Fencer class that can then evolve into either (Tank: Mystic Knight/Rune Fencer) or (DPS w/ Utility: Red Mage) as Jobs I could definitely get behind and would pretty much do what I wanted with having Red Mage as a tank, namely creating a new type of tank that uses magic for defense instead of just heavy armor and that would have a very noticeably different feel to the way they play.

If they implement it the way you suggested, I'm all for it.

If they do add in Mystic Knight as a Magi-Tank, I really hope they retouch/improve the "classic" look of them so they don't look so "guy/gal in a big turban", but they should definitely keep the Middle Eastern, more exotic theme, for them.
