Dark Knight

Fun fact: neither Cecil nor the king of Baron were "dps", both were more protectors and tanks. There is precedence for drk tanks.

Cecil was actually pretty good DPS. It is also worth noting that KAIN was a better tank than Cecil at that point in the game and he was a gorram dragoon.

you can't compare a solo game and a mmorpg, if we was following the ff lore, most of the jobs will be dps... they needed to add class that are tank.

and sorry if you don't like this, but a big armor, with spell that cripples the enemy and drain them make it a perfect fit for a tank.

Yeah most Final Fantasy titles don't even have defined roles, so comparing their MMO counterparts doesn't necessarily work.

Celes was an amazing "magic tank" and she didn't even have a class. Oh, you wanna cast a spell? Gimme.

YES!!!!!!! I wanted to be a DRK tank so badly. It was the best tank job in FFXI for many years can't wait to tank on DRK again.

I just really wanted it to be dps so I could have a sword and shield tank and 2 handed sword or sword and shield dps. Now my hopes of being Dark Knight and Paladin together for different purposes is gone...

"Drk is the way it was in FF4, FFT, FF X-2, instead of the way it was in FFXI! I'm MAD! I want it the way it was in FFXI!"

No matter how its argued or prettied up, this is the view of people who are mad about it being tank.

Its not like SE is going back on their decision, you're just gonna have to deal with it.

I welcome Dark Knight as a tank class.

Too many dps classes already, if you want to play Dark Knight you need to actually have some responsibility in the party than just pewpewpew damage damage damage

I mean that in the most non-saracastic, sarcastic way.

I think it's intriguing that it's a tank. ROG/NIN got a pretty balling skill-set list, I'm sure they'll hook DRK up.

Well, and those of us who really wanted a sword-based DD >_>
