Changeing DRK

[Enkidoh]

I'm curious about the future DRK rework though that SE have planned, likely for the next expac. Perhaps the job is changed so that it does use a Scythe instead and the long blades used currently are reassigned to a new job. That would be interesting to say the least, but definitely DRK is mostly likely staying as a tank.

I hate to say it but that has about as much chance of happening as FFXIV version 1.0 being restored to service and replacing ARR. DRK's symbol after all is a stylized great sword, so it's conclusive that it will always be great sword exclusively.

The Gladiator and Marauder symbols say otherwise. Granted they evolved in to jobs but let's not believe symbols are ever a permanent representation. Anyway it was just me sharing a fantasy dream out loud, you could humour me with your own suggestion rather than dismiss it, but hey ho to each their own.

Enkidoh meant the symbolic weapon tied to and worn by a job, not the class / job icon. The icon of DRK symbolizes an arcane magic symbol, not a greatsword.

If you see an axe, it symbolizes WAR / MRD here.
If you see a one-handed sword with a shield, it symbolizes PLD / GLA.
If you see a greatsword(-esque weapon), it symbolizes DRK.

It's the actual aesthetic Enkidoh speaks about.
