Dark knight or paladin

[MrKazilios]

Hello people, there is something u probably saw countless times but I'm trying to make a choice between the paladin and the dark knight (my dark knight is 70 and my paladin is 60). I came to the game on january 2017 and played the paladin for 4 months then I look on the dark knight because in 3.x, he did the same things as the paladin but better: damage, delirium, magic damage cooldown and more ... Now in 4.X, at least for the moment, the paladin is juste better in any point. Si here is my question: should I change back to paladin ? (I forgot to say than I enjoy both class)

Just wait a second. Let me switch my Mind-reading-device on to remotely check the insides of your brain. I will calculate, based on your Age, your characteristics, your likings and your ethical values and moral concepts, the class that is going to make you the most Fun for Stormblood.


Hmm....yes....yes, I see. Certainly the best choice for you would be Warrior.

I too think that Warrior would be the best tank for you. Break free from the meta. Any idiot can play Paladin and Dark Knight. It takes a special type of self-loathing and dedication to play Warrior.

The less people who play it the more likely SE will be forced to do something.

Just don't play paladin, paladin mains do not have to have reason to play it....

Is that the same thing u could say in 3.X ? Because the warrior was the best tank in heavensward. (No offense, juste asking)

I would say just play what you like more and have fun with the game.

No one can answer this for you OP. You yourself say that you like both classes. Do you like them both equally? Do you prefer one aesthetic over the other?

All three tanks can complete all the content in the game. Unless you're a min/maxer, there's no reason to go PLD just because it got buffed too hard and DRK and WAR got the short end. There's not that much of a difference.

Personally, even with many of our skills gutted, I still prefer DRK. I was PLD main in 2.0, but only because I wanted to tank and I hated the concept of a Great Axe tank. So when DRK came around, it was my dream come true. I just love the aesthetic.

I agree with this, even if classes have issues you never know if you will like it till you try it.
