    I played ffxiv 1.0 back before jobs. I mained gla and crossed class a lot of thm skills, making a unique "drain tank" that was infinitely more fun than any other class combination or jobs I have played since.

    I, for one, am super, super excited to have both a new tank role (which I have been wanting since 2011 when they forced me into pld) and DRK. The fact that they're one in the same, does not come as a surprise to me, or a disappointment.

    Also, to anyone who doesn't understand this, this game has been taking every single one of the jobs from FFIV. The only ones not added are NIN, DRK, and ENG, which we are getting 2 of the 3 for sure now, in that order. DRK was a converse to Cecil's PLD in that game, so it makes perfect sense from that position. Not to mention from a balance position. Too much longer without a new tank or healer and too many new DPS would verily hurt this games player interest.

    I've been saying this since that Titan Sprite Animation; muskateer will be ENG. It will be utility healing support.

    and About the lack of base class. It will probably be an alternate job stone to Gladiator.

    That the fun of evolving a game. Can't wait to see what the devs have in mind.

    Also I'm surprised none of you are speculating that Dark Knight will be the first Mage Tank in game. Meaning it will have high Magic evasion/dodge/parry, and not physical Doge/evasion/parry

    Which would make it very unique and interesting. And that example giving about High End game....with 2/3 of HP draining from Mega-flare. This tank would only loose 1/3 hp from mega flare...etc

    You could actually use a Black Mage or a Summoner to cast through the wall without opening the door if he was close enough. Flare him.

    As for the OP, I think a DRK tank will be interesting and fun. We may see thr return of spells like Drain, Absorb-VIT, Spike spells (defensive buff). It could definitely make use of some of 1.0's original THM abilities in a tank fashion.

    Or be ridiculously cheap and CT5 Holy. >_>

    But, on topic, I see the potential for a good tank here; it just remains to be seen if I'll like it.

    That would be fine, until Ravensbeak insta-gibs you for 14k since you have no physical mitigation. Just take a look at XI's Rune Fencer to see how useless a magic def tank is.

    Most of this games aoe and very dmging/mechanic driven attacks are magic based. This is why DRGs get mopped up like butter (mostly.)

    A DRK could just pop Foresight if need be, but otherwise, could be overwhelmingly better, in theory.

    Make no mistake, the new Batman class is very interesting, but doing away with the class system influences all the classes that I have now, and the new one that comes next week. Untill we know more about what the devs are planning, THAT is the most important question.

    Fun fact: neither Cecil nor the king of Baron were "dps", both were more protectors and tanks. There is precedence for drk tanks.

    While we can't guarantee that a /facepalm emote will be implemented, we will continue to add emotes as we go!

    They DID IT! <3

    Hope not. I won't feel like a dragoon with only one skill and starter clothes.
