Dark Knight

Of course, it was also a Magic-based DD. >_>

You mean it was something different from how XI does things? Blasphemy!

Indeed.

WHY
CAN WE NOT HAVE
A SWORD DPS
WHY

xc

This is really the only issue I have with it. They're free to do whatever, and I can kinda see DRK working as a tank, but I was really hoping for a sword DD. >_>

LOL what if samurai becomes the healer?!

Don't even joke man. That S$%t ain't/wouldn't be funny. Look at my sig... Do we look like wtf healers to you?!

Not gonna complain. I've always been a fan of the DRK, so I'm just happy to have it in the game. Sure it's not a DPS job, but at least its in the game. Good enough for me.

I'm extremely disappointed in it being a tank, I was picturing eating away my own hp to deal out heavy damage, but seems that's pretty well out the window now. But what can you do? Their vision and mine were vastly different. Dunno if I'll pick it up now, which saddens me cuz I've always loved Dark Knight in my classic FF's (Never played XI, can't say how they played out there.) Oh well, though such is life.

also curious on the no base class
wonder if SE will tear down the whole class-job concept

I don't think it would be a bad idea if they went this route. Bard, Ranger, Summoner and Scholar could have been separate

Next we'll be introduced to the ability to have a sub-job's

I have no problems with Dark Knight being tank, I'm actually very interested in how it will be mechanically and what their story is. I'm half expecting Samurai (if it gets announced) to be the new DPS job.

Excellent! I originally chose marauder in 1.0 seeing as it was the closest to DRK. When they added WAR and forced me to tank I kinda just rolled with it and now I actually prefer tanking. i was somewhat worried about having to change my roll again when DRK was teased and now I am extremely pleased to see DRK is infact a tank! It's gonna be a lot of fun!!!!!!

Just make certain you don't accidentally kill yourself if they decide to keep some of Dark Knights life sacrifice cost skills. Last thing you want is to derp during a Tank moment and accidentally kill yourself.

Though that would be a interesting way to start the phrase "Derp Knight " for players that accidentally kill themselves as a Dark Knight due to dark knight life sacrifice skills.
