So After some coercing from my friends, I picked this game up yesterday. I'm looking to get started and I'm not sure which job that I want to be. I'm looking at ShadowKnight but I'm told that its more of a tank, and deals very little damage.
I am coming from Years and years of FFXI where I was a dark knight, (Lots of damage, and dark magic, absorbing stats and life). I'd like to find the class here that is similar. and ShadowKnight does seem to match up from a lore standpoint.
I guess my big question is Is this the class I want, or will I be forced into tanking and not dealing any damage, or swinging a great sword?
Thanks for your input in advance
