New Dark Knight Tank

[Giantbane]

Scythes only existed in FFXI, so don't get your hopes too high.

But with the flashy animation, it'd look really cool, yes

not exactly FF, but it's still from square

not exactly FF

Great understatement to say that Chrono Trigger has nothing to do with Final Fantasy.

but it's still from square

Super Mario RPG is from Square...should we expect the Mushroom Kingdom as a future zone ?

chrono trigger is ever so much closer to FF than Super Mario RPG

not to mention it's awesome

i rest my case

I'd personally like Samurai tank but it's kind of like a black sheep only really being a tank in XI, where it failed to do its one job.

Eh, i think most entries have it wearing heavy armor and use of defensive abilities, which make it a reasonable fit for a tank

From what I remember of Dark Knights in XI, they primarily focused on 'drains' and 'absorbs'

Those were the bad DRKs.

But the idea's sound; they could certainly make a drain-oriented tank here.

Could also do a variation of what XI had; give them a trait that makes them uninterruptable for a short time after a parry, like PLD had with shield blocks. Give them Lancer secondaries and then you could even have times the tank would use BfB if they had a Dread Spikes ability. (short term "shield" where damage received gets drained 100% to a max amount, effectively negating all physical damage for a short time)

But yeah, too many DRK dps fans would rage.

Someone said DRK was tank in IX?? If so I believe RDM was a better TANK. ^^;

There was a phase where drk/nin or nin/drk tanked stuff.

They already KILLED Summoner if they make dark knight a tank I think I might quit the game.

V.V I can't agree more 2 of my 4 favorite jobs are disappointing to me now. Lets hope something good happens with red mage (if it ever comes out!) I'd rather not only play DRG
