Dark Knight: Damage Dealer or Tank?

[Doctor]

Maiya, I would also prefer to have SAM as DD rather than tank and have another job such as Runefencer to be a Tank. What I meant to say in my above post is that Dark Knights seem to have a more DD vibe than Samurais.

Dark Knights should be a tank that comes from the Lancer class. Or a DD that comes from PLD.

Well when you think Dark knight 3 things pop up in most people mind.

1 Drains its own HP to boost attack power
2 Has a nice 2hand weapon
3 Its the polar opposite of PLD

That and to be fair if it was a tank odds are it will have the same debuffs as what we all ready have like Mara -10% damage GLD Blind effect and SMN Virus.

I all so hope that DK will have a Scythe and or GS.

Just my opinion, but the dark knight using blood magic and darkness, its gameplay should focus arond a big hp pool or high capacity of hp regen. Depending on how this is equilibrated, this could both lead to a tank or a dps. (The facing idea would be take big hits but absorb much faster. Sadly, the Wars are already here to serve as damage sponges)

On a side note, a 2 handed sword can be confusing, as it could be a katana (samurai) or a claymore (which fits the DK pretty much imho)
Also, don't say SAM is a tank... I heard some wishes that but seriously, tanks should remain what they are. True, a SAM stands in the battlefield, diing the sword drawn and still standing, but they don't fit a tank's role. No meat, no shiny shield, no hp leech..

Because it makes no sense which seems fitting at this point. >_>

guess what ? I'd actually like to see it... Blood magic could perfectly fit a healer.

LOL! This is hilarious. thank you! LOL

You know what, while they are at it, let's give it a bat that acts as its pet as well that you summon with MP. =P XD B/c again, that would make TOTAL sense at this point as well LOL

I really like the idea of using HP to deal damage, but that means it's gotta have the highest Vitality buffs in the game so as not to enrage Healers...

A tanky Damage Dealer is something I would use as my second class. x3

I would like Dark Knight and any other job they add later to fit with the pre existing lore for Final Fantasy. So I would like Dark Knight to stay as strictly damage, while using great swords.

Why not both
