Yeah that’s a bit confusing, too. And sure, Endwalker brought a Healer and Shadowbringers brought a Tank, but they both also brought DPS, and now it’s a DPS only expansion making queues worse again. They need to do 1-2 expansions of only adding a tank and a healer.

Yet another DPS. And then a caster after this… Why can’t we have some more tanks and healers?

If you’re looking for the real logic behind it, its because the majority of the player base is dps. Every expac has to have a dps as a new class. Otherwise the majority of the player base wont have a new class to play for an expac.
Last expac was healer/dps, one before that tank/dps, and before that dps x2. Its cyclical. So we were “due” for another double dps expac. Obviously the devs and director are free to make whatever decision they want, but this is the logic yoshi/the devs have talked about on their quarterly chats. (To my understanding)

Frankly, gunbreaker should have been a melee casting dps, and samurai should have been a tank. I’ll die on this fucking hill.

I just want classes with big two handers. All of them being tanks sucks. Sam/drg are just a skinny 2h with big muscles. Drk dps rotation though lets me sort of live my fantasy though i suppose
