I don't understand how it doesn't have a base class. This am not make sense.

Because they figured that people who wanted to be an emo-goth for 30 levels before unlocking DRK would never be able to hit level 30 because of dying all the time.

Starts as the job from Level 1?

I guess it'd have to. That just blows my mind and now I'm wondering why they didn't do that with Scholar and Summoner. It'll be interesting to see!

I don't mind that it's a Tank class I just hope that it plays differently enough from Warrior and Paladin to be entertaining to play. I have both at 50 and they're different enough but the experience is basically the same to me. "Stand in front of mob, build hate w/skills, mitigate damage." Maybe it will mitigate damage through parrying or counter attacking?

Considering how DRK works in other games it's likely to be a blood tank. It won't mitigate the damage it'll offset it by draining enemy HP, or mitigate through attribute debuffs/drains.

Equip the weapon to jump straight to the job? Or maybe classes are going by the wayside, and we're getting Jobs with cross job skills ? I don't know lol, does sound weird.

Classes are going by the wayside. They have already said on many occasions, that they are re-doing the class/battle system come 3.0. starting with 2.4 onward they will be making subtle changes to prepare for it.

This is good, I have been waiting a long time for this to happen. Probably going to have to level sub class to 30 and with job unlocked, to unlock all new Jobs from 3.0 and going forward.

Yes, but how will it get reworked? Outright removing it would be stupid.

That the fun of evolving a game. Can't wait to see what the devs have in mind.

Also I'm surprised none of you are speculating that Dark Knight will be the first Mage Tank in game. Meaning it will have high Magic evasion/dodge/parry, and not physical Doge/evasion/parry

Which would make it very unique and interesting. And that example giving about High End game....with 2/3 of HP draining from Mega-flare. This tank would only loose 1/3 hp from mega flare...etc

That would be fine, until Ravensbeak insta-gibs you for 14k since you have no physical mitigation. Just take a look at XI's Rune Fencer to see how useless a magic def tank is.
