New Dark Knight Tank

They already KILLED Summoner if they make dark knight a tank I think I might quit the game.

It's not a horrible idea. As much as I'd like DRK to be DPS, I think I'd get much more opportunity to play it if it were a tank.

They always wore heavy armor, so they've got that covered. The drains, enfeebles and absorbs could be used for threat and sustaining itself. The only thing that gets tricky is souleater, as sacrificing life for damage wouldn't be good as a tank. But perhaps sacrifice hp for a stoneskin/alod bubble type damage shield? or life for a reduction in incoming damage? A hallowed ground ability that takes them down to 1hp but makes them invincible for a time? The option to sacrifice life for damage to be used only during burst phases?

They could make it work.

Well, I hope you give it a shot since it will, in fact, be a tank. Looks like they'll make it good, but that's 100% speculation since they've released little more than the weapon type and very broad description of its playstyle.
