Bad Speculation - How do you get DRK from GLA?

[Aegis]

Well there was the fact that when jobs were originally introduced Yoshi-P explicitly stated something to the effect of they were thinking of making DRK a job from GLA.

Also, both are (or have been) sword-wielding magic users.

There's also nothing stopping them retconning GLA's skillset.

Sure, they could... or they could just use Marauder's and not have to change much of anything.

then what would be the point of playing DRK if they just use MRD abilities ? they would need to retool any ability set to accommodate a job like DRK.

That's like asking what's the point of playing SCH when your playing SMN.

The job abilities would make the class. War has two main combo paths, one for Damage, one for Enmity. Simply put... the one for Damage could be utilized by DRK easily and the job abilities they pick up at 30,35,40,45,50 could help to round out the rest.

Regarding DRK from MRD: I'm probably a minority, but I'd rather see MRD branch off into Berserker if that ever got a DPS role.

He actually said he knew people were asking about it due to the nature of Pld and Drk relationship and used the example I talked about while specifically saying that just because he made the comparison does not mean glad will have dark knight. Then went on to say he would prefer to see dark knight with 2handed swords . The only thing we can do is speculate.

Also@ steady. Drk only used a scythe in 11 and mostly always use swords , I think the bigger fanbase would be sad to see another departure from sword weapons.

Actually the statement I was referring to was considerably before that one. Early to mid 2012 iirc. I honestly can't search it at the moment as work has some strict (albeit inconsistent: hence me being able to post here) filters. Perhaps someone else can google it up for me?

Ah thats okay. Just a misunderstanding as this has been brought up to him many times in the past. I have no doubt that you saw what you saw. I dont really see the point in us speculating on Dark Knight atm. With the way they did scholar we still dont have enough to go on for the implementation of newer jobs.

「シーフは弓術士からの派生が自然と考えている」
「暗黒騎士は剣術士からの派生、ナイトを極めたあとにクエストで取得。
一度暗黒騎士になるとナイトには戻れないのもいいかも」
Thinking of Thief coming from archer class.
For dark knight coming from Gladiator class, have to complete Paladin to obtain the quest, maybe it's good where once you become dark knight you can't go back to Paladin.

Now it was a long time ago and most likely isn't the going plan anymore. But it is worth noting that Arcanist was outlined more or less exaclty as it came out 18 months later.

巴術士については新生開始時には追加予定らしい
ソーサラーよりのクラスで魔法とWSでデバフを扱う、遠近両用のテクニカルなペット職らしい
とりあえず1.20のクラス再配置で足りない要素を何でもかんでも詰め込んだっぽいな
For Arcanist planning to include at start of 2.0
It's more of the sorcerer class that uses magic and WS to debuf and range and a technical pet class.
