Dark Knight

[Arcturius]

I just really wanted it to be dps so I could have a sword and shield tank and 2 handed sword or sword and shield dps. Now my hopes of being Dark Knight and Paladin together for different purposes is gone...

"Drk is the way it was in FF4, FFT, FF X-2, instead of the way it was in FFXI! I'm MAD! I want it the way it was in FFXI!"

No matter how its argued or prettied up, this is the view of people who are mad about it being tank.

Its not like SE is going back on their decision, you're just gonna have to deal with it.

Well, and those of us who really wanted a sword-based DD >_>

True that brother.

Very much this, i just wanted to actually kill things with a sword without having to tank. My group of friends i play with already have a huge problem with EVERYONE wanting to tank as it is.

I have also never played XI, so good luck trying to play that card with me.

if samurai will come, you can expect it to be a dps now

The class that should be DPS becomes a tank and the class that should tank becomes a DPS. Kinda backwards if you ask me, but its not likely to happen anyways.

SAM will end up being the tank of the next expansion, calling it now.

Maybe SAM will be he answer to your pleas?

Maybe. Of the two, I'd rather have had DRK be the DD, I think; but time will tell. Honestly, neither of them make me think of tanks, but a lot of the posters here were sure that one or both (or neither) would become a tank. I'm not averse to the idea, so I'm taking it in stride.

Of course, there's still an opportunity for SE to make SAM a magic DPS job.

Not that I don't think that DRK is cool as a tank, but FFX-2's DRK wasn't really a 'tank'. It was probably more akin to a DD, especially with 'Darkness'.
