Dark Knight DD or Tank

Like everyone here has stated.. DD lol

GLD is a hybrid and then PLD and DRK are polar opposites, you cant make Dark Knight a tank without screwing that up lol

I like the idea of implementing jobs like SAM/DRK/RNG potentially as DDs but I really feel that we need another tanking class just for variety! Ninja was awesome when it was balanced in XI and many other games are implementing the idea of different types of tanks.

The funny fact of 11 was Ninja was never intended to be a tank job. The dev even went so far to make it... what was it lose hate the more you cast utsemi or every shadow absorbed made you lose hate. Samurai was suppose to be the DD tank job.

I personally HATED ninjas as tanks as my Drk they could never hold hate off of me i would pull hate from ninjas missing. Me wiffing was able to pull hate off of most/pretty much all ninjas.

Why would you want it to be DD AND based on GLA? GLA has weak weapons and holds a shield; it would be wasted on a DD class and DRK would need an extremely high STR stat to make up for the poor damage output of swords.

I never said that. At least on my bad english, it shouldn't come with GLA class is that DRK should come from other class :p.

Ahaha, oh sorry, I completely mis-read your comment =b
You're right <3 Hehe

It'll probably be a Greatsword/Scythe class (Not that I want it to resemble XI at all, it's just the only thing I can think of =/)

>.< I must be super tired. when i look at thread title of this thread i was thinking of batman :p. time for bed! lol

I freaking LOVE DRK! I really hope they implement it into arr... as far as dd or tank, i suppose you could pull a war trick and spec it for dd or tank, but I personally feel that it should be dd, and I agree with a post back about magic dps dd... It would be nice to see Dark Knight and Red Mage, and seeing how arcanist is supposedly going to be the debuff job, i think Red Mage should be a happy medium between debuff (dia, bio, etc...) and self buff/aoe enspell buffs. I loved taking Red Mage and enbuffing myself and going to town with my sword, where as Dark Knight could be the opposite with enhancing spells like drain spikes and stat absorbs. I Love the visual of DRK with a scythe even though great sword seems to be a fan favorite lol. I think Scythe would be something different for ffxiv seeing as is already a sword using job, but I can see it going either way. Now I feel Like I'm rambling on...
