This is correct. Like the ninja, the DRK was never meant to be a tank. Its designed roll is to be a damage dealer. Yes in this game there is some strong similarities between a DRG and DRK, however if you have played a DRK in XI, you know what its about and whats unique. A dragoon does lancing damage with hug jumps (yes a simplification). A dark knight uses dark arcane powers to enable him to pull tricks off running the gambit and deal devastating blows to the enemy due to his willingness to do damage and risk himself.As to RDM I very much believe we will see it as a tank. A RDM can do everything, jack of all trades, and the only class type that can do everything is a tank. Its just that simple. As to this and DRK as a tank; no, DRK don't really wear heavy armor as a common aspect of the class. Please read the link in the OP. While this can occur, it is not apparently a common-place aspect of the class. If the wiki is wrong, please give evidence/links.
