Beast Tribe 2: Ganath

2nd Beast tribe: Gnath, kind of looks arachnid? NO THEY ARE NOT CUTE you guys are insane!
The Gnath primal is absolutely…. bad ass looking: Ravana a FFXIV original

Dark Knight

NEW JOB confirmation DARK KNIGHTIts so sexy lookin!
Party Role: Tank (NICE! we need a smexy tank)
Main Arm: two-handed greatsword
No shield, so more parrying and dodging
No base class… WHAT?
When you buy Heavensward, type in code, install game, you can MAYBE be DRK right from the beginning, WHAT?
Well definitely a good way to hook in new players who want to go straight into DRK, but what about armoury?
Based on Darkness (Magic, you will recall this being talked about a lot in the missions if you paid attention!)
