Dark Knight

[Dashuto]

I see you didnt either, because DRK was never a tank in FF4

It was the 2nd tankiest job in the game. Look at the stats of it and everything else in that game. Only PLD has more HP, Vit, Def etc by comparison to its mean.

Just because it had an HP sacrifice doesn't change it was built as a heavy melee with a shield that took damage better than everything else but Paladin.

Please also review FFtactics and its ridiculously tanky dark knight spamming drains and being nigh unkillable.

Check into FFX2, where there is some debate, but again dark is a super high HP melee, durable, and has drains aside from hp sacrifice.

FFXI is the only instance where Drk was a glass cannon DPS.
