Dark Knight Confirmed

[Felis]

Batman glamour gear, I say it
Or Hildibrand in the Batman role.

Somehow, I think everyone knew it was on the way.

The real thing I wanna know is if it is having its own class...

My guess is the dev team might look into dropping the armory system in 3.0 so they can be more flexible in designing new jobs. To the op, thanks for sharing this I loved dark knight in xi.

I really hope we get DK and Samurai and that they are both tanks.
2 new tank jobs and 2 new healer jobs would be great!

I think my personal "top 5" list of new jobs I want to see for 3.0 would be:

Dark Knight (tank)
Samurai (tank)
Dancer (DoW healer)
Chemist (DoW healer)
Red Mage (DoM melee dps)

More healers and tanks would just be really good for healthy role distribution.

I'm interested to see if they can balance 4 jobs against each other as well as they have balanced 2. Right now class balance in this game is really very good for an MMO (imo), but that seems sort of easy to do when you only have to balance 2 tanks against each other and 2 healers against each other.

Yoshi dropped huge bomb that dark knight will be in 3.0! Discuss!

At end of dev discussion, fans asked for a hint at new jobs, yoshi said battle lead dev was going to wear a shirt but couldnt find it.. it was his batman shirt, specifically Christopher nolan's batman

- next job is morpher with 1st morph being bat.
- next job is ninja and ninja pvp set is a bat set (big hint, you hear it first!! ).

Samurai and Dark Knight...Jesus Christ, just when i thought this game couldnt get anymore addicting.. bring that sh*t on!!!

[Ultimatecalibur]

Last resort

Isn't that just Blood for Blood?

This talk confuses me.

I don't know why people are assuming these jobs would have anything to do with one another or would be branched off of an existing base class. If anything, I would think that both SAM and DRK would be the jobs of entirely new classes; for example, Blade Master (Katana/Great Katana) -> Samurai and Knight (Greatsword) -> Dark Knight. Their fighting styles are not compatible with one another; great katanas (which are curved, single-edged swords) are simply not wielded in the same way as greatswords (which are bigger, straight, and double-edged). DRK could also end up using scythes, which no current DoW class is anything close to.

But a DoL already uses scythes?. The again ROG, LTW and CUL all used Knives, CRP, BSM, GSM and ARM use hammers and MAR and BTN use axes.

Than again the various types would have to have a naming convention to seperate them form their counteprarts. Maybe "Reaper Scythe" or "War Scythe"?
