So, over the past several weeks I've seen alot of posts about which new jobs people want to see or theories for future job implementation. I want to discuss drk! I've seen alot of people declaring gladiator as the primary class, and I disagree. I believe it will be marauder and here is why:

1. Marauder uses 2hand axes. Drk used both 2 hand axes and great swords in xi in addition to scythes. I feel all of these have more in common with a 2hand than sword and board(even if it is exclusively great swords).

2. Marauders/warriors self heal. Drk used drain in xi so these two go hand in hand. Furthermore I could see Marauder going into a class that would attempt to buff itself by debuffing the enemy.

3. Marauder/war has fewer defensive cds than glad/pld. The Drk shouldn't feel like a tanky bastard and I think gladiator would lead to this (imo).

I think there's no debating thm as the necessary lvl 15 for job advancement.

Anyhow, just my two cents about this topic!
