Darkest Knight/The Last Samurai

Dark Knight
(http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Ho...e:_Dark_Knight)

Quote:

---

Dark Knight "Glass Cannons" is the polar opposite of Paladin. Enormous single hit damage and specializes in low level Black Magic instead of White Magic. Dark Knight abilities generate a lot of hate when used. To use Dark Knight optimally requires a lot of skill, and the player will have to be very careful of the hate threshold. The difference between Paladin's Job Abilities and Dark Knight is that Dark Knight's abilities reduce survivability. Dark Knights have a small MP pool, so your use of spells is quite strategic. Only the dark-based spells of a Dark Knight are useful most of the time. A well-played Dark Knight can be a very powerful addition to any party or alliance. A poorly-played Dark Knight can just die a whole lot or just be a crippled damage dealer.

If they add Dark Knights to FFXIV, they'll be tanks. The only reason they haven't been added yet is they're probably busy coming up with a way to make them distinct from Warriors.

The proud king of weapon skills. Opener of multi-skillchains. Lord of the Tachi. Samurai has the amazing ability to control his TP better than any other job in the game, allowing for a number of weapon skills in almost no time flat. Although very accurate and deadly, Samurai is one of few jobs who can take damage almost as well as he can dish it out. That isn’t to say Samurai can tank, it’s just that Samurai can survive a lot better than others. A great melee front-line fighter, and a great support job for anyone using two-handed weapons. Samurai also looks amazing on the front lines, performing some of the most majestic and amazing-looking weapon skills you could think of.

If they do that, they might as well make Samurai a Healer, because it'd make about as much sense as making Dark Knight a tank. While we're at it, they should drastically change White Mage and turn it into a DPS!

These need to be added/most of them. I am not saying all. I just copy and pasted all the jobs in FF history into that.


I will take my time making a chart on this. It's been 2 weeks of mind bending already. I will make sure its balanced for all modes PvE/PvP: Just standby for more ideas.

yep i found the problem ff11 wiki.

As always, speculation is just that.

Dark Knight by all rights is not a Tank. With abilities that reduce survivability to increase damage. It would seem almost comical to watch you get one shot consistently.

Samurai however could be a tank similar to Warrior, except instead of abilities that gained life. Perhaps abilities that manipulate when damage is taken.

A buff that absorbs damage, then when it ends, the samurai suffers a debuff (bleed) for the accumulated damage. gives the healers more time to keep him up, and prevents him from being taken out by Death Sentence-esque attacks.

I could also see Sam with parry/counter attacks that convert damage taken into damage dealt.

Need help from the Community.

Ability names and etc.

Say for which class it is and etc. I like some peoples ideas. Samurai will be positional damage dealers which same survivability as a Dragoon.
Passive ability is when they are on low HP, They land all criticals. (Str and Dex)

D.Knights will be DPS monsters in replacing health. (What I think they might benefit from allocating stats evenly. 15 str 15 vit or maybe 20 str and 10 Vit.

Reason being all the classes right now are one way allocation on stats.

I still say that Dark Knight should be a Gladiator Job, as a DPS analog to Paladin. It would have slightly more survivability with things like Sentinel and Rampart, but I see no reason why it can't be made to work.

As for Samurai, I can definitely see that as being either a Lancer Job, a Greatsword job, or some other 2H sword job.

^ What I can see is that there needs to be a Kendo Class a.k.a Swordsman?

Using 2h Swords:

Samurais go to 2h Katana's on job advancement

Dark Knights go to 2h Greatswords/Rune-sword? on job advancement.

Not having a class for them would be one. Unless you think Gladiator needs two ways to tank

Dark Knight should have its own starting class which can branch out to Dark Knight, or Runic Knight. Or hell, even Samurai(Just change the weapon skin/mesh)

Samurai abilities:
Paint the fence: Changes the color of a fence
Sand the floor: Removes the top most layers of a wooden floor, often resulting in a smooth surface
Wax on: Apply a coat of wax to an object in order to preserve it and protect it from the elements
Wax off: shouldn't make it in, it would be way too overpowered
Look eye Danielson, always look eye: Look into the eyes of your opponent so as not to give them an advantage by looking away

Post # 5 Updated for Dark Knight! Need more time / suggestions for more Weapon Skills/ Enhancements

I have mixed feelings about Dark Knight being a tank (as someone else suggested) but I'd probably be happy either way. Though I really hope they fix the job system before they start adding even more jobs.


Samurai has to be DPS :D
