    I originally wanted to be a Warrior because I thought (prior to doing research before the game was released) that Warriors would have two different weapon types to choose from, like how Black Mages / White Mages can use Staves or a Wand/Scepter with a shield.

    I figured the Warrior would used both giant axes and giant swords, and I was aiming exclusively for the giant swords :P
    I'm not disappointed with being stuck with only the axes, as some of them look BA in my opinion, but i've always been a sword guy. I roommate has a couple axes but I own swords lolz.

    I can see a 2 handed sword class easily added.

    Base Class: Knight (Tank)
    -Job # 1: Rune Knight (Tank) (Basically a Rune Fencer from FFXI)
    -Job # 2: Dark Knight (DPS)

    2-hand sword class would be more a DPS

    Warriors also use axes, not 2hand swords ^^
    They can use the axe blade as a shield

    The reason why I said it should be a tank class is because we already have enough DPS as is. Basically a knight is supposed to defend their companions but the dark knight is actually a corrupted knight in my opinion.

    which makes them more concerned with offense rather than defense.

    next tank will probably be Samurai which will make use of Parrying a lot of attacks.

    It wont work because Paladin is actually called Knight on the JP client. Japanse in general doesnt have concept of Paladin and these holy warriors are often referring as the Holy Knights.
