u Armando
Big Ben was the best.

OP: I'm guessing you're coming from WoW.
No, Dark knight (death knight) in FFXI is NOT a tanking class. It is primarily intended as damage dealing class. It doesn't have any big defense buffs and will easily be slaughtered by most mobs later on.

Re: a noob asks can drk's tank?

... I tank well as a drk thank you...
<-<;;;

Ok that said and done. Drks No are not attended to tank, like the nins but the got around that with the shadows. Drks can tank, given you toss the att+ with the heavy def+ gear. at higher lvls with Drain II and dread spikes drks can tank at short bursts or trade the att for def we can be ok tanks...

But I didn't say drks are just saying drks 'can' tank just not as well as plds, nins, or wars

Big Ben was/is annoying. I'm sure he'll show up.

Re: a noob asks can drk's tank?

Damn, I was expecting at least one person to have been around long enough to remember him. You guys seriously missed out. This one's my favorite.

Thread name: Galkas: What's the point?

Don't worry, I've been around long enough to remember him. :p If you can read it, it's pretty epic stuff :O

Man, that Galka thread made me want to cry/laugh. And not just for BigBen's post.

I'll give you a hand, Itazura.

LOLOLOL /COMFORT THF, BIG BEN SAYS DON'T WORRY IT'S OK, DANCING EDGES IS BETTER THAN GUILLOTINE ON INCREDIBLY TOUGH MONSTERS SO DON'T CRY, /HAPPY, OK MOST (of the) TIME DANCING EDGES DO 700++ DAMAGES AND GUILLOTINE NOT DO SO MUCH ON INCREDIBLY TOUGHS (and) IT MAKES BIG BEN (make) SAD FACE =(((( (this is the sad face by the way, with extra ('s for emphasis) CAUSE (I) WORK SO HARD FOR GUILLOTINE AND STILL NOT AS GOOD AS THF =((((99

OH AND REPLICA THAT WON'T WORK CAUSE SPINSLASH IS FRAGMENTATION PROPERTY AND SHARKBITE IS FRAGMENTATION PROPERTY SO FRAG TO FRAG DOESN'T WORK, IT MUST BE FUSION AND FRAGMENTATION. IN NBA PLAYOFFS RASHEED WALLACE WAS FUSION AND BIG BEN WAS FRAGMENTATION AND WE MAKE CRAZY LIGHT SKILLCHAIN ONTO LAKERS' FACES, WHAT NOW LAKERS???? WHAT NOW??? I'M CHAMPIONS NOW THATS WHAT

And...

OLOLOL HEY RICO GUY, YOU SO FUNNY YOU MAKE BIG BEN GIGGLES INSIDE, GIGGGLGGLGGLGLGEL

ANYWAY BIG BEN THINK LIKE THIS: ITS LIKE HEY GUYS WHY BE RACIST?? RACISM HURTS EVERYBODY ON (the) INSIDE (and) MAKES BIG BEN SADFACE. ITS ALL ABOUT SKILLS CUZ WHEN BIG BEN HAD TO WORK ON FARM AS CHILD, BEN HAD TO MAKE FARMING PT MADE OF ASIAN MAN, BLACK MAN (THATS ME), MEXICAN MAN (and) CZECHOSLOVAKIAN MAN AND IT WAS BEST FARMING PT EVER CAUSE ALL (the) MEN HAD HQ SHOVELS AND TRACTORS AND KNOW HOW TO PLAY SO FARMING WAS QUITE GOOD

SO BIG BEN COME TO CONCLUSION RACIST IS A NO, EVERYBODY EQUALITY NAY MEAN DAWGGGGG??? (Know what I mean dawg?) WHAT UP BLOOOD WHAT UP BLOOD WHAT UP GANGSTAAAAAAAAA

Hopefully a few commas here and there and unscrambling the letters in the many scrambled words will make it readable. Didn't want to remove the caps or add too many commas or it'd lose the Big Ben feel to it though.

Man, that Galka thread made me want to cry/laugh. And not just for BigBen's post.

2004 ftw lol.

EDIT: Almost forgot, the official translation of the first quote:

Haha. Don't worry, friend. Take comfort, because Dancing Edge is better than Guillotine, especially on Incredibly Tough monsters. You will be joyous, because the damage output on Dancing Edge easily does more than 700 plus damage in most instances, while Guillotine is hard pressed to keep up. This was especially frustrating for me, because as a Dark Knight that worked so hard for level 60, it was depressing to see other weapon skills outdamage mine.

Oh, and that skillchain would be unfeasable because Spinning Slash is a Fragmentation weaponskill, along with Sharkbite. In order to create a level three light Renkei, one most combine a fusion element weaponskill with a Fragmentation type one, so the original combination is not compatible. As an analogy I, Ben Wallace, would be the Fragmentation and my teammate Rasheed Wallace the third, would be the Fusion. Because of our long arms, quick defensive instincts, and my ability to guard the low-post while Rasheed handled the weak-side, we were able to turn a good defense into a legendary one. It is because of this reason that my good colleague Rasheed, or as I like to call him "Sheed so Nasty", likes to say "We smashed your faces."

Faces smashed Lakers, faces smashed.

I remember Big Ben quite well, one of my favorite posters. Very few people put the effort into developing a true forum personality like he did.

Re: a noob asks can drk's tank?

English is my second language; those things you've quoted are way too difficult for me to read.

>_>

Don't worry, they're funny for how horrific the English there is, it takes me a bit of work to puzzle some things there out...
