I completely agree the game could use another tank. But why take the class that is the opposite of a Paladin. A class that focuses on utter destruction with dark soul rending magic to be the guy who takes hits and protects party members.. It doesn't much make sense to me. I think if you wanted a tank that bad you should have make it so Dark Knight can be either a tank or DPS.
This is the second time I think I've asked if I've time traveled to October.
Interesting Fact: We don't know what Dark Knight will be like in FFXIV. You state that it focuses on "Destruction with dark soul rending magic"; but actually this might not be the current interpretation we get of the class.
I imagine Dark Knight is going to be something based on one of two things:
- Loss, and a desire to protect it, by any means necessary (Dark Magic)
- Potentially, fallen knights of some kind. Those who were once of Ishgardian Royal Guard taking a dark, potentially dragon-kin like magic to augment themselves to fight the Dravian hoard.
I think people are focusing too much on 'destruction' side of DRK. It could take another new path in the game completely.
I'm not all that upset that Dark is a tank class. I can see them doing some really neat things with it if they don't play it by the numbers....but you know.
It's not even out yet. Just because it's announced to be a tank, doesn't mean down the line they won't make it be both.
Besides, it's not that out of this mind to have a class that thrives on sacrificing its own HP also be a tank. Just means it'll need a ton of HP.
Wow let's jump to conclusions before we know anything about how the class actually works. That sounds like a good exercise in futility and wasting time.
There are plenty of tank-like aspects that Dark Knight has though, it's silly to say that it can't be one.
Okay guy, this is FFXIV .... it's FFXIV world , anything can happen
Why is my black mage not a healer, that's racist.
