I'm making pretzels.

No saltiness here. I expected a DPS DRK, Got a tank. Maybe our Tank will find a new class they enjoy in DRK. I'm going to level it all the same. I don't really know how it's going to work but I can take a guess that it'll be another shot at a life drain tank.

I don't mind that it's a Tank class I just hope that it plays differently enough from Warrior and Paladin to be entertaining to play. I have both at 50 and they're different enough but the experience is basically the same to me. "Stand in front of mob, build hate w/skills, mitigate damage." Maybe it will mitigate damage through parrying or counter attacking?

Considering how DRK works in other games it's likely to be a blood tank. It won't mitigate the damage it'll offset it by draining enemy HP, or mitigate through attribute debuffs/drains.

LOL what if samurai becomes the healer?!

Not gonna complain. I've always been a fan of the DRK, so I'm just happy to have it in the game. Sure it's not a DPS job, but at least its in the game. Good enough for me.

I'm extremely disappointed in it being a tank, I was picturing eating away my own hp to deal out heavy damage, but seems that's pretty well out the window now. But what can you do? Their vision and mine were vastly different. Dunno if I'll pick it up now, which saddens me cuz I've always loved Dark Knight in my classic FF's (Never played XI, can't say how they played out there.) Oh well, though such is life.

I don't think it would be a bad idea if they went this route. Bard, Ranger, Summoner and Scholar could have been separate :D

Next we'll be introduced to the ability to have a sub-job's :rolleyes:

I have no problems with Dark Knight being tank, I'm actually very interested in how it will be mechanically and what their story is. I'm half expecting Samurai (if it gets announced) to be the new DPS job.
