Dark Knight

[Volsung]

Now, the reason why DRK probably won't come from Gladiator is there are too many tanking abilities that would more than likely be overpowered for a DPS class. Much like if Geomancer came from Conjurer (Medica for a DPS class? Hah!)

Depending on how much they nerf your mind while switching to GEO (stats change when using a soul crystal), and what gear they let GEO wear, medica could become worthless, its the same reason smn can only physic for 400, but sch can physic for 1K+. You're right it would be silly for a DD to have an aoe cure, but entirely possible if they do stat swap right, and let geo wear thm/acn/blm/smn stuff instead of cnj/whm/sch stuff. And they could change the ability entirely, like sch summing a healer fairy. It could be changed to an aoe buff on on a different job.
