DRK uses Cloud-based animations (Souleater *is* Climhazzard, for instance). So there's nothing to find odd regarding that.

As far as a DPS that two hands a sword, SAM uses katanas with two hands.

Op would want a heavier weapon like a Nodachi.

Fair enough. Still, I would say specs aren't especially necessary in a game where you can play every job on a singular character.

Just to be clear I am less fixated on wanting a job to be a cloud clone in terms of kit, even though that would be cool.

The point still stands that there are no dps jobs that use big two handed heavy weapons (I.e., 2 handed axes or sword or mace) . Sam to me despite using a katana and (STR) to me is still an agility archetype of dps. Samurais usually attack swiftly, precisely and quickly with light to medium armor to be mobile.

I am looking for a true “warrior” or “berserker” archetype for a job that can do damage. Heck I would be happy if warriors were designed to be either dps or tanks. Though there is just so much room to make a really cool dps job that uses a cloud type weapon or a giant over sized great-sword. Almost every mmo conceivable has a class that fills this archetype usually designed around huge demoralizing burst attacks. Not sure how it would work in ffxiv but clouds charge based attacks would be sweet.
