Multi-Role Jobs (Dark Knight)

[Toodles]

Why not both DPS & Tank?

Give us a DPS Soul Crystal & a Tank one.

***It's essentially the same as SCH/SMN are now***

This' already bound to happen in other instances anyway (ARC -> Bard DPS-Supp. & Ranger DPS or MRD -> WAR Tank & Berserker DPS)

You're basically just specializing into a role with your Job Crystal.

Job could stay practically the same, just have some actions/traits altered to better suit the role.

Take the example of a BLU healer based off of PGL:

Greased Lightning (dps) - increases damage & skill-speed by X%.
Greased Lightning (heal) - increases healing & spell-speed by X%.

Gear wouldn't be an issue as a Trait could swap STR/MIND & Skill-Speed/Spell-Speed statistics.

This may seem overly complicated, but you have to consider that a player has to queue into a specified role & "pure hybrids" won't work in that framework (they'd either be too buffed or too nerfed, there's no middle ground to being appropriately effective at more than one role).

So how about DRK be both a DPS & Tank? Make everybody happy.
