I don't think the DRG artifact armor is too practical by these same standards.
Grim Reaper actually matches up with Necromancer much better than it every could with Dark Knight. The only way scythe could be feasible as a weapon is if it was bladed on both sides of the blade.

If SE decides not to make DRK a tank, I want it to have 1 handed sword and that's it. They can use their free hand to use their blood abilities and use their sword hand with extreme precision, kind of like sword masters would.

Except Cloud was more of a Warrior/Fighter than a Dark Knight. Wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Greatsword is FFX-2 crowd.
