Dark Knight DD or Tank

[KoujiGeki]

If SE could make a way to have Drks be stronger with a 1 handed sword than a GLA i would like it. My biggest worry is how is Drk gonna stand up to already overpowered Drg.

Drg is faster and Stronger than a War with Gaxe and Gaxe in 11 were i kinda forget it was either slightly weaker than Scythe but faster or it was vise versa stronger but slower.

If Drks horrible acc from 11 carries over from 11 while drgs have ws to use incase they miss. Drg already has Life surge which shouldve been for drk, and good god whats drk gonna have over Power surge? Last resort? Great a whm is gonna hate you if you cant heal yourself like a Drg can with second wind and life surge.

No im not asking to nerf DRG but what the hell will Drk possible get that would make it be picked over a drg in a party. cause i dont want Drk to have a repeat of never getting pt invites like in 11.

Death/Grim Reaper farms souls. Dark Knights are synonymous with death.

Therefore Scythes are for Dark Knights.

No you just want it FF 11 <.<

These are the same thing.

Darkness ability which you reduce your health to fire a blast of Dark energy which hit all enemies, and Souleater a buff that reduced your hp for your auto attack to hit 1 enemy. ya totally the same thing. gotcha

Darkness, Darkside (暗黒剣, Ankokuken?), or Shadow Blade, is an ability where a character sacrifices a small amount of HP to deliver a strong Dark-elemental attack on all enemies. It is usually associated with the Dark Knight job.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII

Zack can use Darkness by equipping the appropriate Materia. By sacrificing 12.5% of his HP, the player may damage all enemies within a certain radius around Zack, ignoring vitality. The ability costs no AP to use

Final Fantasy IV

Darkness, also known as Dark Wave, is used by Dark Knight Cecil. It hits all enemies at the cost of his HP. It did not appear as a command in the game's North American SNES version. However, during Cecil's encounter with his Dark Knight copy during his Paladin trial, the copy still uses this move.

I think Dark Knight would the one the Absorb HP/Drain spells goes back into, along with the rest of the absorbs. Perhaps the Absorb stat spells could effect the whole party like they use to with THM too.

Yes but IF they make Drk branch off Gla its 5 extra abilities are wont be all absorbs. I mean if they take Drk right out from FFT theres the 5 abilites right there.

That depends on what they do with classes, and if they even plan on actually making it branch off of gladiator. If it does.... I dont mind tanking as DRK.

[A_Hortensia]

Darkness (IV, X-2) = AoE, Costs HP.
Darkside/Soul Eater (VIII, XI) = Single Target, Costs HP.

Steel Cyclone XIV = AoE, Great Axe WS.
Steel Cyclone XI = Single Target, Great Axe WS.

Basically the same move and idea, just a difference of AoE or not...

Anyway, if DRK is implemented and their weapon of choice is scythe.. AF shoud look like this:



Let Samurai get mad about it.
