So, I am playing FFXIV Heavensward. I made my Au Ra. Absolutely love him. And the way I made his background story, being a Dark Knight is THE jobclass for him… Which was absolutely stupid of me to do!
I have fallen in love with the Dark Knight ever since it was announced. It just looks absolutely awesome! The armour, the greatsword, the aesthetics of the skills, the dark theme… it’s just perfect.
However… it’s a tank class! I have ALWAYS played DPS classes in MMO’s. I have tinkered a little bit with being a tank and healer, but I feel most comfortable with being DPS, because then other people’s virtual lives don’t depend on me, because all I have to focus on is to deal some damage!
I am incredibly intimidated playing a tank. I’ve practised with some low-level dungeons and sometimes it went well, other times it didn’t go too well, and my concentration level is so intense that I am getting headaches, because I just don’t want to fuck up!
I might not be cut out to be a tank. Just thinking about doing some high-level dungeons or raids, it freaking terrifies me! And it saddens me so much, because I really love the Dark Knight jobclass.
Machinist looks rather cool too, so I might pick that up instead. I would have to re-make my character, as being a Machinist would be very out-of-character for him, and I can’t break my headcanon for him. So that’s my escape plan if I just can’t grasp being a tank.
Rant over. :3
