True. But doesn't help that SE doesn't push for it, after NIN became a tank they dropped all support of SAM and WAR's as tanks. Sam never even got to see the light of day tanking before they were made DD's. T_T

Really they just to throw in some new armor that WAR and SAM could wear at lower-higher levels that are pretty good tanking gear, then sort of push players to try them like that. God knows if they don't push us to play a job correctly someone will screw it up (I.E. Debuffing/DD NIN initially, becoming tanks, SAM tanks becoming DD, SMN becoming ghetto WHM's, etc.) Really the FFXI community isn't the best at playing jobs right or allowing new combinations to form. To this day I still get crap for leveling my melee 20-30 with a /DRG sub instead of /WAR, even though I out DD all the /WAR's of those levels.
