Lets Talk Dark Knight

[Jinrya-Geki]

Ok This is Kouji Geki im using my brother's profile cause it forces logout on mine. But to My point I wanna talk Dark Knight. How it will look, act, and feel. And if we could just get a little insight on what SE had in store for for Drk i could feel at ease. Because Drk is truly the job i am waiting for.

What will Dark Knight be in this game?
I find myself asking that cause it seems that most of the Abilities that Drk "should kinda" have are split for the most part 2-3 jobs, Mrd, Lnc, Thm. Bloodbath which is i knock off of the old Blood weapon (I know its really kinda not but Its an ability that fits under Drk.) Life Surge which in every game with Dark Knight or any variation of it has an ability to absorb damage done to a mob. Dread Spike, and Blood For Blood. The 3 job would have been Thm but they don't have the abilities anymore anyways. But if they give Drk elemental abilities and in this game then ill count Thm. And no i am not saying take the abilities away from those jobs so don't have heart attacks people.But what will Drk have that sets them apart from the Other DDs? Will it even be a DD or added to Tanks? What will they bring to the table?

What weapons will they be able to use?
I know this seems obvious but hear me out. Seeing that scythe falls under Botanist now i'm not sure we will be seeing that in our arsenal. I don't maybe SE will surprise us. I myself am a huge fan of Greatswords so i would like to see them use them. Though i have seen other weapons use by classic FF Drk. And wouldn't mind if Drk used sword and shield tbh.



How will Dark Knight look?
I am insanely jealous how Dragoon looks won't lie. So SE needs to put on their A game on Drk AF cause quite frankly, to not make Drk look like a sissy next to Drg. lets look at some other FF Drks. Cause Drk should look like the most intimidating Job out there.





so i am noticing a pattern here....... you can't see their face! Drk Af i should not be seeing my character's pretty face! Only the slight glow of my eyes!

What spells will they have?
i mean besides the obvious drain and mp siphon and absorb attributes. Maybe like 11 and get Endark. Will they get Elemental Magic and will it actually be useful unlike it was in 11.

Again with the way things are in this game i am afraid for Drk and don't want to relive the old 11 days where i'm sitting ther for 6-7 hours waiting for a pt that will never come because Loldrkislol. I'm not asking to be godly but it will need something to compete with Wars and Drgs dmg. Now i pick them cause they are the other 2 hander jobs. And SE really dropped the ball with paladin. So i am expecting the worst. All i want is Drk to be able to walk into a room and be like..........

Sup Noobs!

As long as I'm not locked out of Paladin because I'm a completionist and want Dark Knight as well, I don't mind. I'm sure they'll do fine with Dark Knight, just as I'm sure they'll eventually fix Paladin.

Amen.

I have been waiting for greatswords in XIV since the trailer was released. ;_; That greatsword looked so very nice and shiny. I was thinking only of greatswords and hack 'n slash action as I made my character.

Greatswords! Also, I'm cool with swords and shields too. :x And yes, please make it look like Cecil. Please. I'll even pay for a third account if Dev Team lets me look like Cecil. '~' Or a fourth. I don't care if it sounds like bribery, I'm a hopeless DRK/PLD fanboy.

Harvesting scythes are used by Botanists. They're different from weapon Scythes, as such we could still see a scythe-wielding class/job.

Actually Klive i wouldnt be against a ball and chain for Drks its new and not a drastic new that would upset everyone. and could hhave decent multi hit and aoe ws that COULD keep up with warrior.

[Jinrya-Geki]

Challenge Accepted.

Only gave myself 15 minutes for this one, so apologies if it's a bit rough...

As I have neither the time nor the spreadsheets to properly balance MP and TP costs, or any exact numbers for that matter, please use your imagination for the purposes of exact numbers.

In addition, given the current system requirements for a class and a job to be paired 1:1, this includes a corresponding class, Ravager.
