Dark Knight - Great Sword or Great Scythe poll

[Karnyboy]

Some of you speak of the DRK class in FFXIV like you already know what it will entail. I will help you out real quick, you have NO idea that it will be an INT based class, you have NO idea what stat they will base any of it off of. You can speculate, but you cannot say for certain. Additionally, whilst I prefer a 2H sword for them, I am not against a scythe albeit being terribly cliche.

My personal preference, I will reiterate, I prefer my DRK to have a 2H sword, command a presence and tank like any self respecting man (or woman) in heavy armor would do.
I would envision them as a class that utilizes aoe dark spells to lower the damage received from targets around them and increase their damage/enmity

Kind of like a mixed bag of a warrior and a scholar with respect to the health and shields of each respective class.

Maintaining a rotation to basically keep those buffs/debuffs active at all times.

Nobody even knows if it will appear in the game at all. However, we can make educated guesses at what it could happen based on FFXIV mechanics and abilities. People often suggest things that would be useless, redundant, or insanely hard to implement; these just aren't likely to happen regardless of what weapons or jobs appear. For example, a Beastmaster with 9 summons is not likely due to redundancy.
