Dark Knight

[Erepio]

Summoner should use their summons to deal dmg once then dissapear, they should also be able to use dark magic

Scholar skills should only identify mobs weaks points and nothing else

Dragoon should also be able to use shield

NiN should have the ability to throw items from inv to dmg the enemy

Dark Knight should also be able to use White Magic

i can keep going if u want



NiN in ffxi was made a tank, if that can happen i dont see why Dark Knight cant be a tank in FFXIV.. heck it even makes more sense

Lets not start this again - SE never intended NIN to tank in FFXI, that was the lazy player community who made the Job like that - abusing what was meant to originally be simply a 'get-out-of-jail-free-card'. Once Utsusemi went down NINs didn't last long at all if they had hate, showing full well they were not tanks. They were literally paper tigers.

Scythe is already in the game. Rightly it's a tool for gathering.

I'm a die-hard FF fan and I'm not that upset over it. Yes it's been a DD in past games, but as long as they use the same skills but in a tank way, I see no problem with it. (Then again, I'm also up to seeing a blue mage to be any party role depending on the skills it learns from monsters, including tank, so I guess I'm just more adaptable)

After all, it's not like there are that many true tanks in the FF jobs, and we do need more tanks!

The amount of brats full of uninformed, dramatic, entitled whining in here...

We need another tank.
Dark Knight makes sense as a tank.

Butchering classic is a bit ridiculous of an assumption just because it's not copy + pasted out of whatever your speculation has been.
Who's to say it won't have higher damage output, lower survivability?
Or that it might be a very solid job?

You people have way too much free time.

DRK always used heavy armor and always had lots of hp, its transition to a Tank is not surprising.

No one else likes this being a tank? We do need more tanks, what's the problem?
Can't wait for gameplay.

Do tell. Queing for Coil 5: Everyone else - five minutes. The last stupid tank - 5 hours. I never tanked before but am still glad we get more tanks. We have like, what, five damage dealer job, three healers and two tanks. Plus the ninjas are comming. so make that six dps jobs-

No one is saying we don't need more tanks, it just would have been preferred to have DRK as DPS and Samurai (or some other job) as tank.

But whatever Im still excited for it. Almost makes me not even care about Ninja now
