Dark Knight Wrote:"The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protectthe weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations.

None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them?

A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as "dark knights."

These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacones to guide the meek through darkness."

Today I learned I've been playing a non-Ishgardian Dark Knight since 1.0. Cool.

I can already see the plot of their quests as a mix between the Rogues' quests, with Ishgardian clergy and knights instead of pirates, and Warriors' quests, with darkness instead of the inner beast.

I think I'll make my Au Ra be a Dank Knight.

And to be honest I like this chivalrous take on Dark Knights. Dark Knights aren't just emo edgelords: they are knights.

I had almost no intention of using the DRK lore anyways, but I kinda feel like they should have just called them Knights instead of Dark Knights if they were going to make them... not so dark. In either case I'll reserve my opinion on them until I can see their job quests.

I'm pretty sure the 'Dark' comes from the source of their power and not their moral standing!

Kellach Woods · **04-17-2015, 07:45 AM**

It also comes from the fact that if they defend the downtrodden from the abuses of the Holy See, they'd have to work in the... Dark.

Awwwww yis.

IMA be tanking for days with DRK.

Aaron · **04-17-2015, 07:50 AM**

Also if you read the lore,
[Image: story_job_txt_01_01.png?d3bebdav1]

They're called /Dark/ knights because they're going against the wishes of the Ishguardians to protect those outside the law.

It's like they're traitors in a sense. Or Civil Heretics lol

*puts on his tinfoil farseeing cap*

Dark Knights are pariahs in their own lands. THANKS, SE, FOR GIVING US YET ANOTHER ISHGARDIAN-SPECIFIC CLASS.

Because the arguments over DRGs being all over Eorzea aren't enough!

Finally some stuff! I don't like the fact that they made one of the au ri clans solitary and only adventuring on a "rare" occasion, mostly because it's rather restrictive when you go an RP it.. And though they left the door open, if you have twenty people doing it in your RP group/where you usually RP it probably wont feel as rare as it's supposed to be.

Have you not seen the number of Miqo'te men out there? Tongue

It's actually pretty easy to work around. All a character would have to do is hear rumors about the Bat dark knights operating under the noses of the Holy See, then get inspired to do the same. I'm not sure where TEH DRAKNESS comes into play but that almost doesn't matter - the intent of the class seems like more than enough to get people to unite under that ideology.

"Is the system the problem" has been a recurring theme in my RP for a bit. Warren won't be becoming a Dark Knight, but I'm probably going to switch him to a Greatsword maybe? Knowing that he's not "alone" in that sense would do him some good, though.

We Batman, Inc. now.

Lol Aleria might become a DRK. My roomy already squealing over that stuff.

She needs to get her own PS4 now tho >_<.

Aaron will probably be a ROG DRK (See what I did there?)

Kishi · **04-17-2015, 08:25 AM**

Sorry I had too XD!

mongi291 · **04-17-2015, 08:28 AM**

They already gave the bat PvP gear to Ninja, tho...
Petition to change this, anyone? SE can't make all those reference and then leave us without a bat costume :c
