Just as a historical background to the DRK, real Black Knights were a thing in the Dark Ages. Less then a noble knight, but better then a sellsword, Black Knights were trained knights who had no lord. To make a living they would take up residence in a village, protecting the place for food. Though there were bad Black Knights, most were looked on with favor, often considered to be local heroes. The name Black Knight comes from the fact that such a man had no squire to care for their armor. As to that they would use tar, painting their armor in it then baking it. The would then remove the baked tar, and the armor would then be rust resistant, but would be dyed black from the process.

TL;DR: Erik is very excited for DRK.

I'm still gonna main monk through and through but.
I'm so greedy. Insatiable, even.

Berrod of course, will remain a delicious slab of monkmeat.

that to me sounds more like a Hedge Knight. I think there were only a couple of people that would be refered to as a Black Knight, historically, and those would be personal nicknames for various reasons, such as the Black Prince.

then of course there are the Black Knights of Arthurian Legend and the Knights of Glin, a hereditary Irish Knighthood.

Black Knight comes with the ability "Flesh Wound" which ignores all damage at the risk of limiting your other skills.

each use of Flesh Wound opens up further skills such as 'Kick', 'Bleed on You' and 'Bite Legs'.

This all the way! I wonder if Mor Dhona will be some sort of starting area then after it's built up into this crazy huge fortress.

I really wonder why guns in Eorzea haven't rendered melee obsolete. It's gonna be fun explaining how a PGL IC doesn't die instantly to a Machinist.

RE: The New Classes - Blue - 12-22-2014

My guess is that Dark Knight will be an Au Ra primary job, maybe their own knights to fight whoever their enemy is? Basically picturing the equation

Dragoon : Ishgardians = Dark Knight : Au Ras

I am already sketching the idea of making an Au Ra dark knight who hunts Dragoons to protect the fellow dragons.

Blue will definitely go Machinist. Wanted guns for her since 1.0; it's no musketeer, but oh well.

I'll probably ICly kill Dylise and Valeria and Fantasia/Name change them into a female Au Ra astrologian and a male Au Ra dark knight. Gotta RP them all jobs!

^ The same way they fought in the war against Garland with magitek and gunblades. 

I don't know how they did it myself but if you think too hard you'll rage quit.

Every time I hear this question, I think back to the 1.0 fight scene with Gaius where Yda literally punches his bullets.

RE: The New Classes - TheLastCandle - 12-22-2014

I'm obscenely excited for DRK, just for the greatsword I always intended for Yvelont to be able to use.

For Machinist, I already have plans for a Lalafell mechanic packing heat. This is going to be fun.
