Dark Knight: Damage Dealer or Tank?

[MaiyaBeaumont]

Healer.

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

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.

You know first lore was Cecil who used sword and shield was a tank and could wreck face with dmg

First lore was FF3 who used Dark Blades/Katanas.

First lore was FF3 who used Dark Blades/Katanas.

Actually, first lore was FF2, where Leon was equipped with both a sword and an axe. But Cecil's still the most iconic face for the Job.

as far as I remember, the DK cecil just had a sword, and the shield came when he became a paladin during the story

The opposite. Dark Knight Cecil always wielded both a sword and shield, and you couldn't obtain two-handed weapons(specifically the Avenger Sword, which also turned you berserk) until after you became a Paladin.

First to be able to use specific Dark Knight abilities, maybe; but the first Dark Knight in the series is Leon from FF2 who was trained in most available weapon types in the game by default.


Not sure what role Dark Knights had in FF11, but seeing as its most distinguishable feature in the main series is using Souleater/Darkside/Darkness for heavy damage, I'd have to go with DPS.

[KoujiGeki]

Why not both

[Ryans]

It's normally not a very good idea for a tank class be draining it's hp to do damage and that is the signature trait of final fantasy's dark knight. So DD is the only one that makes sense.

I like to be proved wrong
