Dark Knight

[Tsubakii]

Now... I'm depressed I feel like I should quit. The class I waited the most for to only disappoint me... I really wanted DRK as a DPS, makes no sense to be a tank when they have always damaged themselves for increased damage output.

Sigh obviously my own personal problem but still this is the most heart breaking thing that could have ever happened.

10/10 full agreement.
I feel this is a bad mistake that is going to see my favorite class get hugely underutilized. I'm sure it will see a lot of initial use but I don't see it being a dodge or Perry tank, and as we already have a block and a sheer HP tank and more would be redundant. I can't see it working out as those are the only 4 tanks I see thrive in most games. But who knows I may be wrong. Just can't help feeling really let down by this

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

I have a strange feeling that DRK is going to use the reverse spell (healing magic hurts you, damage heals you) where they sacrifice their HP to build attack power and enmity then lose the Reverse effect to deal less damage, gain less threat, but also actually get healed. Could add a level of complexity unheard of up till now in this game.

it can be stance tank also as u said 1 stance for dmging it self while generating emity and 1 stance for dmging enemy while getting heal all can work as similar as life steal attack but no idea about aoe emity generate

Did you seriously say a tank is going to be underutilized? How in the world can a tank be underutilized? I think we need to wait and find out what it can do before we start saying it's going to suck. By the way, Just so you're not surprised and disappointed the gunner job is going to be a healer class.

Am I the only one who is misreading DRK as DPRK? ; ;

More players will play tank now I don't have to wait 1hrs with 6 people for a tank to show up.
