Trouble Picking Classes
I recently bought Final Fantasy XI (the MMORPG) and im trying to choose a class
My base class is Warrior, and I have 3 choices to make:
Samurai: Balance between fairly good damage and defense, high speed and evasion, slow to attack, but can use more special attacks
Paladin: Very high defense, healing spells, buffing spells, can raise dead players, can take lots and lots of damage
Dark Knight: Can cut a swathe through nearly anything, has second highest damage ratio in whole game, but has fairly low armor, can cast long range nuking spells and general damage magic
So yeh, I narrowed it down to Dark Knight and Paladin. So what I dont know is which class I should choose, usually I wouldnt have a problem but they both sound so good. Should I choose the Dark Knight and tear anything in front of me to ribbons? or choose Paladin, be the primary tank but have trouble dishing out damage (rather it would take me a lot longer as a pally to kill something but i can heal myself, as a Dark Knight I can kill hellah fast but need to regenerate, also have ranged attacks)
So ya, im stuck for a answer hehee, be the evil dude who kills **** fast or be the honorable leader whos incredibly resistant and can survive almost anything. I dont know really. What would you guys pick? or recommend i pick?
