Hey Dark Knights!

I love how we have a thread where people have to explain themselves why they will go DRK.

Personally I will be maining DRK because they are badass, end of story.

Does anyone know what we actually need to unlock the DK class? Do we need to have the Paladin unlocked to 30, and warrior to 30? Or just Warrior? Does anyone know the prerequisites yet for obtaining the class? I can't seem to find any concrete info unless of course none has been released.

All I know is I am ready to do some Dark Knight stuff! Anyone know if they have any life leeching type abilities or no?

I believe you spelled "Flare" wrong.
Then again, I believe the Monks are stealing that ability soon.

All you have to do is go to Ishgard, there are no level requirements at all. Some of it's abilities steal enemy hp under certain conditions.

It is unlocked in Ishgard. Can't enter Ishgard without completing the MSQ through 2.55. So have to be done with the MSQ. That's probably the only requirement.

Souleater is an HP absorb. Dark Knight abilities link

I'm going DK because I Damn well feel like it.....you don't deserve any other reason other than I'm going to do it.

Interesting...another thread "complaining" (I'm not sure how to label what you are doing, though I suspect part of it is trolling) about DRK. Got me to bite I guess.

You don't "have" to level up those other classes but if you are serious about tanking as a DRk having things like provoke, flash, and CC damage mitigation cool downs will be considered mandatory by most of the community.

So much edge.

But seriously I will be playing DRK because it is actually a damagey aggressive tank. I love pld's safety but it's boring and then warrior tries to be edgy and aggressive but is just even more boring.

If I play a game I almost always tend to go for the most aggressive classes that have the highest skillcap/floor. DRK, Scholar and Machinist fit that bill. (I wanted to say Monk but it bored me for some reason? I just didn't find the movement mechanic interesting and instead just frustrating because at least 60% of the tanks decide to play spin the bottle with the enemy mobs... == frustration).

A good DRK from the skills and stuff I've seen of the DRK will be fantastic and amazing. A shit one will be what the majority of the players of DRK will be.... and it will be horrible and make healers want to scream. I severely doubt we will see "just okay" / "medicore" DRK.

I believe the reference was a bit far-fetched
