Who else's not looking forward to Dark Knight?

[Yuki_Tokita]

With the new videos and info coming out. Dark Knight seems to be getting labeled as the new "Cool Job". How many DPS who have never tanked before are going to be flocking to it? As well as all the FFXI players that played DRK as a DPS....

Don't know about you. But am going to be avoiding the dungeons until patch 3.0 cools down a bit.

I'm dreading all the bad DRK there will be when DD players try to justify playing it as a DD job and not a tank.

Not looking forward to DRK at all. It will be like loldrg only with a tank this time.

My question is: why aren't people more concerned about PLDs who can't count to three over potentially bad players flocking over to the Flavour of the Month job? There are people who will figure out how to play DRK effectively through theorycrafting and trail and error, so tanking mistakes and mishaps are to be expected. If anything, we should be more concerned about people thinking they can tank without properly familiarizing themselves with the fundamentals. Hell, I main BRD but I play WAR and PLD better than others who main those tank roles. Holding hate, mitigating damage, and dishing out plenty of damage which also helps with enmity generation... There are tank players in this game who cannot do any of that even if their lives depended on it.

Instead of you being negative about bad players giving DRK a spin, OP, I'm looking forward to what the new tank job can bring to the table and how it performs. Bad players are to be expected no matter where you go.

Anything new is exciting. And people playing sub-optimally can make things exciting too, as you have to work harder to pick up the slack. My interest in DRK increased after hearing hints about how it works, managing the power of darkness. It might be greatly different to any other job. I guess it being MP-based would make it the first DoM tank in the game.

I'm not going to bother with the new jobs, I'm just going to level my ninja to 60 then my warrior. I enjoy tanking but I don't main one, and I'm very content with my warrior being my tank job.

Of course there's going to be a bunch of new DK tanks. Of course they'll be terrible. Who cares? They're just having fun like the rest of us.

No! This is a chance for pre-existing original tanks elitism! I plan to be a massive arse to each and every DRK I see right from hour one, those hipsters have it coming!

(j/k, of course.)

I kind of see what you are getting at. However there is a little bit of a difference between not looking forward to a new job and not looking forward to all the bad people playing a new job because of the cool factor. I am looking forward to this job, and hopefully it turns out to be more like WAR in terms of complexity of getting the best out of the class.

HOWEVER

I am sooooooo not looking forward to all the bad player, esp those who have never played a tank or understand how to tank, flocking to the class because "it looks cool". Also, cue all those in clouds outfit rolling dark knigh coz i iz coolz yeah.

Oh god, its going to be DPS WAR all over again. "I am not a tank WAR, i am a dps WAR" will turn into "i am not a tank DRK, i am a dps DRK". I hoped those dark days were long gone.

I will join you in that . But since my main is healer, i will just shout at them in between having heart attacks.

I've been working on my PLD nexus lately, so I don't think tanking in DRK would be harder than old tank jobs.

But I will do DRK the very last, since I don't really like the job name itself. Just as I unlocked that job as the very last in XI (yes, I even unlocked Adoulin's RUN/Rune Fencer & GEO/Geomancer before it), so will be DRK in XIV. lol

However, I've been playing with RUN in XI and I do like the job so much, I've been maining it for last few months before I stopped subbing. As I see how DRK in XIV plays quite similarly with XI's RUN, I might give this a go.

I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it wont be as 1,2,3 as PLD but still with the knight theme.
