How do I stats and do I need to cross class?

Thanks for the help. I guess I'll just do pure vitality till 30 and then experiment with the different stuff the job gives me going forward. I'll make sure to get provoke, I was just hoping I didn't have to go WAY deeper, like deep into paladin just for abilities. Oddly the players I talked to told me dark knight was a reskinned paladin, but it doesn't even use a shield, so odd. can you link to these upcoming updates if possible? I want to get decent at this game whilst leveling especially as a tank so people don't hate me.

DRK is basically a different flavored PLD... at first. But only very early in DRK's levels (30-40). Soon enough you start getting into the mini-game of MP management while tanking, that PLD's don't focus on at all.

The specifics of the changes aren't known yet until the patch notes get released, but you're safe keeping your points allocated in Vitality. Just put them all in there, after the changes you won't have a reason to put them elsewhere. Provoke is necessary, but you can skimp out on Awareness for quite a while until you feel like getting GLD/PLD up the rest of the way.
