What if DNC is SHOMHOW a DPS?

[DamianFatale]

Eh...no. They are knights with a little bit of supplementary magic. Lore-wise Dark Knight does not even use magic AT ALL. He uses the darkness that dwells within him.

As I said, Paladins are as much magic knights as this iteration of Red Mage is a melee job. A proper magic knight would use magic-enchanted sword to deal damage with possibly using spells straight out here or there (Rune Fencer/Spellblade etc.).

Yes, I want a straight out caster tank. But that does have little to do with how Paladins in this game are not magic knights.

This. Magic Knight would be a job of its own.
