Then don't call it one then. Don't plop a popular class in the franchise and butcher what it has always been just to get people to try Tanking. It's misleading and fucking pathetic. So pathetic I won't be surprised when expansion time comes the job gets a bit of a touch up. It's poorly designed as is. People who have stuck with the class are merely "dealing with it". They may even "like" the clunky playstyle. Don't even give me any "but XIV is special" bullshit.

DRK should have been a sustain tank...which means tons of damn Lifesteal everywhere. But no. Here it is the one tank that relies on it's healer the most. This is classic DnD Thayan Knight syndrome right here. The healer in this instance is the damn Red Wizard.

And you know the very first Job Quest had an interesting mechanic with Darkness stacks and then it disappeared forever after that. Damn shame too. Since it would have made the damn job dynamic and it's own thing instead of well it's a mish mash of PLD/WAR minus a bunch of Utility.
