FFXIV Dark Knight and Reaper vs WoW Death Knight and Demon Hunter

[Shougun]

I like all of them but given I played the ever living murloc out of Warcraft 3... Both WoW classes have really special places in my heart. I also like in general WoW does a better job with roleplay class fantasy (for example dh can glide, and dk can walk on water).

I reeeeweweeeeeeewaaaalllllllllllllll ..... Lllllll ....y like the visual fantasy of the demon with wings that DH has (Ilidan metamorphosis for the win) and I would have nearly cried from joy if Reaper had a Diabolos mode... But otherwise I think both FFXIV jobs have way cooler special effects / animations (the wraith is very cool looking, I do like it a lot, and the avatar mode is very anime so I bet some love it, though to me it's the alright part, and I would have rather turned into Diabolos lol).

Probably the only reason why Jobs in FFXIV don't have specific special abilities like that is because it would then cause other people who don't have that job unlocked that one special ability they want to complain, even though they can spend the time to level up that job in order to get that special ability, since FFXIV doesn't link their jobs to just one character each. It would be freaking amazing if FFXIV just through caution to the wind and did that, though! Sage being able to glide through the air, Dragoon being able to act as their own mount and jump through the skies and Black and White Mage having the ability to defy the laws of physics and teleport wherever they want within a zone and hovering over all surfaces, including water. It would be so freaking amazing!!!

In the future, maybe we'll have the ability to customize Reaper's Avatar to make it look like what we want, and in so doing, have an affect on our Enshroud form. So maybe one day we'll get a Diabolos glamour for Reaper and its avatar! You never know!

DRK and RPR equally (although gameplay wise RPR since I haven't sunk my teeth properly into DRK yet) because I can have my very own edgy pet. I do remember making endless stories of my DK and DH characters but while I liked the context that made them, the aesthetic and looks were kinda meh.

Hehe, prepare to be surprised later when you level up Dark Knight up to lvl 70! x3
In the meantime, I hope you have fun with leveling it!

Maybe Blizzard one day can upgrade Death Knight and Demon Hunter's customizable appearances, so you can have your very own unique Death Knight or Demon Hunter that stands out among the rest! I don't know what other abilities Death Knight has besides ice spells and necromancy, but Demon Hunter, maybe it could get other customizable forms in the future based off of other demons besides Illiden. Wouldn't mind some forms based off of the Old Gods. :3
