i played FFxi for a long time....mainly blm n drk. then when Dnc came out... that was my choice.I will say at that time Dnc were kinda OP... with a nin subjob to blink tank, u could easily solo or tank almost anything many jobs couldnt. It was by far my most fav job. If i was to go as dps, i would put a differ subjob on instead of nin. They had all differ dances... ones for buffs, and debuffs... like i know they called some mambas. Although it would take some planning, i could see dnc being any one of the 3 classes..dps, healer, tank. In FFxi i ran in full groups to do dps, or in groups with less healers to help heal, and in other cases just tank easily.
