New jobs upcoming, new tanks?

When I said "some job will cope better then others" I was obviously pointing out the PLD in the party. You said that the only game where DRK was a DD was in XI, then you can only mention 1 FF where it was more likely? a tank. Logic?

Just because you want to bring up games where it doesn't exist doesn't mean anything remotely close to proving your point.

talking so much bullshit, you came with all the names, only 2 i mentionned were 4 & 5 to prove my point.

There are 2 ways that DRK could be introduced into ARR: as a DPS variation job for GLA (it becomes DPS not because DRK makes more sense as a DPS class but rather because you *really* don't want to double up on tank jobs for a single class) or as a tank job attached to an entirely new class.

There is also another way, which is about making a new class using whatever they want to introduce (I.E Great sword) then they can make the class go into the jobs such as DRK or RUN possibly. alike SMN & SCH.

Now here's my advice, what about you stop writting books full of bs on the forum & start getting real arguments?

I mentioned *4* FFs where Dark Knight fulfills the qualities that are tapped for tank jobs. You brought up one game where the Dark Knight doesn't even exist and one that I *already* used to explain how Dark Knight is a tank rather than a damage dealer. Are you even paying attention?

Also, holy crap, your syntax and grammar are almost painfully hard to parse for your intent.

You're seriously arguing that the fact that you have *fewer* games to reference to support your claims while simultaneously having them be *weaker* examples, since one doesn't even *have* Dark Knight and the other already *has* Dark Knight as a tanky class? Do you even understand what you're saying here?

Are you even sure you understand what actually *comprises* a legitimate argument? I gave you explicit examples that categorically disproved your claim that "DRK is a damage dealing class, it has been since the begining". In the beginning, the Dark Knight had more in common with a tank than a damage dealer. As it progressed, it continued to have more in common with a tank. In a single later case (Final Fantasy XI) that is notorious concerning how poorly it implemented classes relative to their historical design, it was turned into damage dealer.

If you honestly think that I'm full of BS, try and actually bring up some evidence rather than supplying conjecture that is either completely and totally inapplicable (your "evidence" concerning FF4 and FF5) or completely and utterly *untrue* (you claiming that Dark Knight has always been a damage dealing class). You may not like the fact that I actually enjoy discussing the game (and series) as much as playing it, but, seriously, if you're going to try and tell me that I'm getting something wrong, try and make sure that you're not the one that has been making up your entire argument as it progressed.
