And there goes one iconic class butchered by the XIV team....

Truly disappointed in it being a tank.

lol hate to be that guy who makes a snarky comment but, why couldn't NIN be a tank again? Making DRK a tank is just weird, I guess the gun class they reveal is going to end up being a healer lol.

They're running through them one by one. They already have Bard, Ranger, Summoner, and Thief under their belt.

I don't understand how it doesn't have a base class. This am not make sense.

We have about five seconds worth of information, at least wait until we get a one sentence summery of the class before we jump to 'butchering classic'

Just logged on to say that nothing screams "DD" louder than a job that historically sacrifices HP to deal more damage.

Thanks Square for destroying that.

Whoever wanted to play DRK right from the start (remember that poll in which DRK was one of the most expected jobs?), wanted to do it as a DD, not as a tank. There are *plenty* of other jobs who could've become one. DRK is also the opposite of PLD, yet the role is the same, too.

I personally have been waiting for DRK long since jobs were implemented in 1.23, and now I feel cheated.

This is, of course, based on a personal point of view, *my* personal point of view.

And, personally, once again, thanks Square.
