Dark Knight

[Lexxuk]

I don't understand how it doesn't have a base class. This am not make sense.

Because they figured that people who wanted to be an emo-goth for 30 levels before unlocking DRK would never be able to hit level 30 because of dying all the time.

Combination of parrying and dodging seems interesting. Wonder how much evasion it will actually have.

[Rosalynd]

We have about five seconds worth of information, at least wait until we get a one sentence summery of the class before we jump to 'butchering classic'

A class that has for the longest time been an offensive powerhouse that uses its own HP to augment its offensive powers has been relegated to the role of tank, a role that really shouldnt be using its own HP to augment its offensive powers.

Yeah, i would say that it has been butchered quite thoroughly. :P

Starts as the job from Level 1?

[Beskar]

Lol at all the complaining already. We hardly know anything about this job apart from what's just been showing on the slide. For all we know it might involve dealing lots of DoT's over time to enemies to get it a DPS feel of doing damage.

Oh and if any Dev reads this, please make it so that the battle stance is like Cecil from FF4 please ^^

All these folks upset that its a tank...

The original Drk in Final Fantasy was a tank.

Many MMO have drain/endrain tanks, Lineage II's best tank was basically a Dark Knight. I'm fully confident they will make drk work just fine.

[Ashrak]

Really disappointing how the XI-fanboys already go to the barricades for the tank spec. Only FFIV-DRK are tru pro MLG with Mountain Dew and Doritos. Scythes are so casul.

[Gardes]

I wanted DRK to be a tank just so I can have a laugh and my wish came true.

Up next, I'm wishing samurai to be a tank too. Pray with me!

looks like im going to become a dark knight and tank the only reason i haven't tanked currently is personally i hate axes and i rlly hate shields and paladins. Dark knight sounds perfect for me to tank with ive always loved 2 handed sword fight and just the idea of being a knight of darkness ive always loved

Equip the weapon to jump straight to the job? Or maybe classes are going by the wayside, and we're getting Jobs with cross job skills ? I don't know lol, does sound weird.
