Dark Knight

I think they are gonna change the normal dark knight we know coz its ff 14 its not 4 we are playing with warior of light not cecil basicly the same using hp stuff gonna work but maybe for defence buffs u can just sacrifice ur hp for more buffs maybe or a passive like low hp more resist maybe more dmg also. so if keep ur hp at a certain amount u will have dps and also power to tank but thats only my guess also dark knight has absorb magic ability from old ff's im expacting to this we will see the same stuff in a different way and for the people who say dark knight can be tank think about warior with double armor then normal amount in gear cap u wont need hp like that so if they optimaze the character it can even yolo with 1 hp u cant just make a character that only gonna be played to kills itself if square fails about it they can buff the character thats pretty simple

FF14 is it's own game and while there's a good amount of homage and fanfare, they can do what they want to any of the 'original' classes that we're all accustomed to.

@London Fan Fest they already said that "Instead of blocking with a shield there will be more Dodging/Parrying" and "Wield the power of darkness" blah blah blah.

For all of those that didn't play FFXI, DRKs had access to "Spike" spell buffs, which created a kind of shield that activated when the enemy hit you with a physical attack.
Of course a lot of these spells would have to be reworked but some EXAMPLES:
*Dread Spikes = Covers you with magical darkness spikes. Steal HP from enemies that hit you. Ineffective against undead. <- the text for the scroll that lets you learn it
You absorbed X% of HP from the enemy that hit you.
*Fire Spikes = Dealt damage when enemies hit you
*Lightning Spikes = Dealt Damage + Stunned the enemy for 1 sec.
*Ice Spikes = Dealt damage + Paralyze


so on and so forth, it'll be interesting to see how it's done in Heavensward but although I was looking forward to playing it as a DPS I wouldn't mind breaking from my PLD to play DRK, as long as it's not 1 2 3 all over again which I'm pretty sure we can assume it isn't.

IF people are THIS disappointed in the new Tank Class I wonder how they'll react to the new Healer class when they said that "It's NOT going to be what we expected"

what I am expecting is a tank with more magic resistance than the previous two, we already have a paladin shield tank with block/parry, a sponge like HP warrior tank, what would SE think of next?

Edit: If they don't put spell reflect on dark knight....
