What do you guys think about Dark Knight?

Just like the title says, I'm curious to see how many players would actually want a Dark Knight job, in hopes that they add it in the future. I'd totally rock out a DRK main if it was a DPS class!

sounds cool. just dont make it like WoW's deathknight class.

Would main drk myself... honestly don't care if its tank or dps, (i know, i know lol the community is split on that issue) i just hope it uses an awesome weapon like scythe or two handed sword, and as long as it still functions as a drk with souleater and other skills of the like. It can work either way! Couldn't say how myself but i know it can!

They could maybe go the split path and create a class which splits into mystic knight (Tank) and Dark Knight (DPS). Both would be magical melee classes wielding greatswords. (scythe lacks a lot of the defensive abilities a great sword can bring)

Scythe is already a BTN weapon so that's off the table. Not to mention, it looks ridiculous as per FFXI.

I'd play it seeing as it's likely the closet I'll get to my ideal class given they made Warrior a pure tank class :(

This. No scythes ffs.

I kind of want to see a 2-handed Sword Dark Knight. The way I see the Dark Knight is that it basically wears all the same armor as the Tank Classes (Heaviest Armor in the game) but it's primary stat would be Strength instead of Vitality. As such it is a DPS class and not a Tank Class. The problem with this is that most of the Heavy Armor in the game is heavily set up to favor VIT heavy Builds instead of STR heavy builds. This means that they would need to release a new category of Armor specifically for the Dark Knight that has the same Defense and Magic Defense values as the Paladin and Warrior Armor, but which favors Strength over Vitality.

No love for Ogre Battle :(

I don't get why so many people love it. There are far more iconic FF jobs that could be implemented.
