Summoner - Class feedback - complaint

@Razard
Ah you are correct, appears a few articals are using the incorrect images again. unless its referanced because it will look similar?

in the numbered series yes, but there is many other games out of the numbered series, yes the scythe idea has only been used in game twice, but in concept it has been used a number of times.

@Delily. Wielding a Scythe would be nice and more impacting, it certainly will make the job stand out just like Hand to Hand weapons do for Monk or Duel wielding blades for jobs like Ninja.
Soul eater is the iconic ability, but maybe creating a weapon to make it stand out physically will work
if they decide to ditch the scythe idea, it still needs to stand out. Since DRK is normally considered a DPS, the weapon would be a nice vocal point for that, if they decide to go for the tank route, it will be armour focus, otherwise i worry the job will just blend in to others.

Leon (FF2) the first DK and Cecil (ff4) the most iconic DK as you can see both use swords. Leon's best weapon in the FF2 remake was a spear Longinus.

You're going to be disappointed with Dark Knight more then likely if you require them to use Scythes and be DPS. They are one of the only jobs in FF to have a signature weapon, Deathbringer, and it is a sword.

As far as "DRK is normally considered a DPS..." that is a unfounded statement. They are traditionally a heavy armor high hp melee class with HP/MP damage and leaching.

A side note Cecil being a dark knight is why Dragon Knights Kain got renamed to Dragoons back in FF4 because of the old char caps would had both abbreviated as DRK. LoLDragoons : /

IBS>So in 3.0 the Darknight will be a lancer class job that uses magics and drains to tank with a spear!
