Dark Knight

[SkyHighDN]

Final Fantasy IV had Cecil as the main character.... and the majority of his time as a DRK was in the form of a tank.... When sheltering Rydia...... when paired with Rydia/Tellah..... when paired with Edward/Rydia...... when paired with Rydia/Edward/Rosa....... even when paired with Yang/Edward/Rosa/Rydia...... the Mt Ordeal instance with Tellah/Porum/Palum...... The only time he really was with some one with stronger gear than him was with Kain in the first mission...

If this model can be implemented, a DRK CAN be a tank.... Ideally, they would have to have EXTREMELY HIGH HP.... and hurting yourself to cause emnity could be the way to gain aggro...... kinda like a "smell blood in the water" type thing to attract attention....

I suggest it as an option, not a demand.... but with the XIV focus on movement... think of an ability where you can "cut yourself" and bleed over a path to attract the mob's attention to that area on the map... could be kinda cool

Another ability could be a "cleave" like ability that could permanently bind an enemy.... like chop off its leg, and the target will now be stuck in one spot (45 second bind)

Maybe a void ability in which all physical damage is converted into "regen" while magic damage is doubled..... or vice-versa

A taunt ability that acts as poision.... each tick will equal x amount of damage to yourself, but will cause increased emnity

and how bout a massive counter ability..... activating it would cause increased damage recieved for x amount of time (like waiting for the perfect chance to parry), and retaliates with decent damage dealt counter attack that adds a 30 second debuff and emnity
