Dark Knight

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

Very much this, i just wanted to actually kill things with a sword without having to tank. My group of friends i play with already have a huge problem with EVERYONE wanting to tank as it is.

I have also never played XI, so good luck trying to play that card with me.

Should be DD

THANK GOD IT'S A TANK.

Phew, that is a crisis avoided.

Imagine being a healer and having to heal someone with Blood for Blood on all the time and they only have as much health as a DRG?

That'd suck.

Also, I'm willing to be the Sword DPS job will be a fencer of some sort.

"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.

Not that I don't think that DRK is cool as a tank, but FFX-2's DRK wasn't really a 'tank'. It was probably more akin to a DD, especially with 'Darkness'.

I just wanted a DPS option for the classes/jobs that wield the most iconic melee WEAPONS in human history. (Swords, Axes, etc.)

Hell, it's a GREAT SWORD for crying out loud. Anyone's initial thought with such weapon types would be to CUT THINGS!




Atleast I won't have to worry about gearing it up... Sigh.

hm..... IMO DRK in FFX-2 was extremely tanky.

Gotta love life sometimes... I go to re enlist, SE announces expansion goodness abouf the time i should be getting in basic. Oh irony lol
Anyways on topic: I vaguely recall it being said that the exapnsion would bring a tank, healer, ranged dealer and heavy dd (if someone had a link that'd be awesome, I'm at wotk atm) my predictions for new jobs are;
Dark knight- tank
Samurai - heavy dd
Ranger - ranged dd
And idk about what the healer will be.

There goes my dream of being a Drk again.

Oh well...

Healer Job will be Engineer based on Muskateer class, the ranged class you are hoping is ranger.

I'll bet on it.
