I’m curious about the best greatsword class in the game, especially one that’s similar to FFXIV’s Dark Knight. I really enjoy playing characters wielding big swords and casting spells. Any recommendations?

Reaper is your best bet for that Dark Knight feel! It’s a light armor class but can look like a plate-armored knight with the right skins. Vindicator is also a solid choice, blending Dark Knight and Dragoon elements nicely. You can’t go wrong with either!
If you’re looking for a magic-using class with a greatsword, I’d suggest the Necromancer and its Reaper specialization. It’s quite tanky, similar to a Dark Knight, and can dish out solid damage without needing to swap weapons. Revenant is cool too, especially if you like the Dragoon aspect.
Technically, all Revenant specs can wield a greatsword, but the damage output isn’t as high as with sword/sword. If you’re after pure power and the Dark Knight aesthetic, either Reaper or Vindicator will fit your needs nicely!
That sounds like the perfect combo! Dragoon Dark Knight really appeals to me.
Vindicator and Reaper are definitely the way to go. The Vindicator gives off those Dark Knight vibes with some cool animations, and the Reaper feels very fulfilling once you get used to it. If you enjoy a tanky playstyle, the Reaper should be perfect for you!
You might want to check out the Reaper and Vindicator classes. The Reaper has that grim reaper vibe and wields a greatsword really well. Vindicator incorporates more spirit magic and has a dragoon-like jump for dodging, which adds some flair!
Oh thanks! That sounds great :) I was looking at the Revenant, but wasn’t sure since I think they unlock the greatsword later.
Thanks! I feel like checking out both Necromancer and Revenant classes.
