Dark Knight class

[RitsukoSonoda]

IMO to make a Dark Knight Job. First we need a scythe wielding base class. I'd say the sub req either be LNC or MAR to 15. This would be a heavy armor DPS class with very high single hit damage on high delay with damage boosting skills that are also self destructive.

Atleast that's how I would implement it. Though I'd like role changing secondary soulstones like arcanist has for all the other classes currently in game. Though a couple classes I have problems finding a way to change the role but can change its play use a bit.

Marauder -> Berserker (dps)
Lancer -> Templar (tank)
Conjurer -> Geomancer (dps)
Archer -> Sniper (dps) Applies various debuffs via shots.
Thaumaturge -> Sage (healer)
Gladiator -> Fighter or Soldier (dps)
Pugilist -> Grand Master (tank)

Also I still want Fencer -> Red Mage... >.>

I don't actually see DRK using a scythe though, given the fact traditionally the Job used swords or great swords throughout the series - it's use of scythes was something peculiar to FFXI only (and even then it was a later addition made as part of an update). Scythes are already used in the game as tools for BTN anyway, as they should be, given their true purpose as farming tools, so it would have to be removed from BTN to be made into a weapon, wasted resources given SE could just give DRK and it's initial class (whatever that may be), anyway.

If it's going to use a scythe, it should just be MRD > DRK (dps). A number of axes currently have a scythe like look to them (the "Bills"), and the animations and moveset would work well enough with a scythe.

If they're going to make DRK come from its own class, it should be greatsword. Not sure if it's better as a dps or tank. It *should* be a DPS since it's thing is to sacrifice HP for power, but I'd want to main it and it's easier to get in groups as a tank.

oh, and GLD + THM (WHM cross class skills) = RDM
