Dark Knight

[Ericyu]

My view of a Dark Knight w/ Great Sword but i don't think SE is ready for something like this...

[Warrlordd]

make the blue fire into blood and u got it.

All that I ask if they were to give us Dark Knight is please please no two handed sword it looked ugly in 11 and itll probably look ugly here, and lol I haha I see what you did there Warrlordd very clever signature lol.

...didn't Dark Knight use Scythe in XI?

Ericyu's rendition does look pretty cool. But holding greatsword with one hand..o_O

DRK used both. Depending on the year one was better then the other.

Great Sword would be my preference for 14.

Well, just a thought. We are on page 25 now and this thread has not been bumped to tank or general thread. So I think this might make it safe to say that the DRK is going to be DPS. Yay!

I think SE won't say anything unless they are committed to releasing Dark Knight soon.

I main BLM, but DRK has always been my second favorite job in XI. I've been so excited for it I can barely contain myself and that pic ^ made me SQUEE.


But I figure that they'll make DRK a DPS. I just don't see it being a tnk and I honestly don't want it to be a tnk haha. But I'm ready to Drain some bitches and use a cool scythe.

But I'm open to whatever as long as I get DRK.

I figure they'll make SAM a tnk job.

I think whether it looked ugly depended on which race you were tbh. Some races looked good with certain stances and weapons and some didn't (Elvaan SMN animation gyah!).

I'd rather they went Great Sword, because a Scythe isn't a weapon, it's a farming tool.

honestly I liked the Scythe as a weapon, it makes the dark knight look more badass, like a grim reaper. Im curious as how they will make DRK different than a dragoon class. Both are melee and burst dps. Would be a neat idea if the DRK created an aura buff for the entire party based on what stat the DRK absorbed from the mob. ex, Absorb Str, would provide the party with a STR buff, only 1 type of attribute can be absorbed at a given time, this creates interesting gameplay, depending on your party make up. Of course they will still retain their soul eater ability as a CD for high dmg burst, and Drain for life steal.
