To be honest, I was trying to avoid this thread, considering how some of the stuff the OP said is pretty... non-agreeable, but this line of conversation and learning the finer points to the perks of differing subs is pretty nice.

I was going to ask about survivability, I have a Red Mage friend who tends to go along with Ninja sub for survivability, and I was wondering how survivable Dark Knight sub can be (especially over complaints that Black Mage sub is not very helpful for that).

The only thing I can think of at the moment would be the key sword weapon skill you pick up (still don't understand why it wasn't native like AE is). Care to give your experience with Dark Knight survivability?
