Wishing for Dark Knight

[Reynhart]

Tradition died when Yoshida gave Bard a bow and it came from Archer. I can see Dark Knight being a tank or hybrid of tank/dps. Seems pointless to me to make it pure dps, as we can see from the recent Arcanist Yoshida is aiming to make new classes/jobs hybrid.

Actually, archer is not that illogical for Bard. In early Final Fantasy, appart from buffing (Which our bard does pretty wel), Bards were know for being able to dish out damage from the back row. It's pretty much the closest thing you have to ranged damage. And by the way, doing ranged damage with a bow if far less silly than doing it with an instrument.

As for the hybrid part, you can say that for classes, indeed. But jobs are not hybrid. Scholar is a healer and Summoner is a DPS.
