What about creating an ACTUAL Dark Knight?

They are too scared and pathetic to consider HP costing abilities. They seem to be less interested in risk and reward and rather have a borefest that leads to high risk no reward.

I think they want the class fantasy to be basically everything you try to do is unfair to you.

FFXIV, sadly, does not have a high risk high reward concept. The hardest classes to master are not stronger at all if used optimally, hell quite often they are weaker.
