What do you guys think about Dark Knight?

i loved drk in ff11. i would want it as a debuff centric dps class

If its implemented, I hope its a tank. There are just too few iconic FF jobs that make sense as a tank, and Dark Knight is one of them.
There's tons of other iconic jobs that make sense as DPS.

Dark Knight is much more of a DPS than a tank though, by Final Fantasy standard. If it is ever implemented, my guess is that it would be a DPS and not before 4.0.

You're right. Just like rogue could never use daggers because gladiator already has them.

Better come with a Bat-mobile mount hue hue

I would play DRK, and my husband would play DRK and never play anything else again. It was his fav job in XI. And he was very good at it. :D

He is absolutely right. Warriors should not exist at all because they use Axe which is the primary weapon for BTN for logging.

There are plenty of viable Tank jobs in Final Fantasy history:

Blue Mage can double as a tank with certain spells
Samurai has been a tank in some cases
In Final Fantasy XI you also had the Rune Fencer that served as a Tank
Red Mage could also be a feasible tank

and that isn't even getting into the Guest Jobs that are present in Final Fantasy Tactics that could serve as Tanks:
Holy Knight is essentially Paladin
Divine Knight (an even more advanced version of Paladin)
Holy Swordsmen (kind of a combination of Paladin and Rune Fencer)
Soldier (yeah that was actually Cloud Strife)
Ark Knight

Yeah there are just so many possible places to draw tank classes from from within Final Fantasy history. We really don't need to mutilate the Dark Knight class in order to make it a Tank.

Then by all means start a new thread.

Classified as swords, but looked like daggers.

Hatchets are not battleaxes. Unless DRK obtains War Scythes (which don't look like the ones from FFXI), scythe will remain on BTN.

Again, scythes look ridiculous.
