@Naoki Yoshida-> Make Samurai a Tank class!

I don't know..uhh, I really would not want this as my tank. Don't think we would last too long w.

In all honesty if you ever died as a dark Knight, you had a really bad loadout. >w> DRK was the only job that could avoid the majority of attacks with minimal effort, due to the fact blocks/parries negated all damage.. The only other job that could mitigate damage so well was Knight and Ninja with the proper accessory and reaction ability, but DRK was in every way a tank.

Course, it helped DRK had 200+ more Max HP than Knight did.

Yeah that is true, lol I remember doing that haha. But honestly though before this game did you really see DRK as a tank? Personally I didn't really, hehe they always used it to contrast Knight, which was supposed to be the guy in shining armor. I always saw it as Cecil, Leon and in FF3 and FFXI. I mean Yoshida made it work in XIV...in XIV any job can be whatever he decides. Personally I would have liked to see it as a DPS but that didn't happen ^^

I saw DRK as a tank, yes. They typically had higher vitality and HP than other heavily armored jobs and could frequently take several hits without really dropping while using HP smartly to deal incredible damage. Ever since I first saw them, I'd always considered them to be a high risk/high reward tank.

Well fair enough, because we all have our own opinions and interpretations of what it represents Well that is kind of what DRK is in FFXIV anyway. I thought it was very creative how Yoshida did it.
