Dark Knight

MRD/WAR is pretty much the opposite of DRK. WAR actually heals itself with a couple abilities and lessens its damage to hold more hate, whereas DRK has almost always hurt itself to do more damage, and made itself more vulnerable to attacks (despite sometimes wearing defensive-looking armor). I have no clue why you people keep thinking it will be a tank job.

NIN or SAM will be a tank before DRK.

This is why:
The only people I see who think the DRK should be a tank are those who loved X-2, that exploit nitch group in XI, IV fans that think Cecil was tough (Sure he was tough, he was the main character and had to survive on his own at times; however DRK's side was damage dealing), and trolls. Another group would be damage dealers who don't want more competition for DF ques.

So don't worry about it, at this point I am 95% sure it will be a DPS. I also agree that NIN was supposed to be a DPS in FFXI, and probably still will.
