Subjective Analysis
The Dark Knight is a job added for the War of the Lions version based, probably, on how much people enjoyed having Gafgarion around. It makes for a good tank class given that it has a ranged attack that can heal the Dark Knight, and the fact that it can have naturally high HP due to its ability to equip heavy armor. It additionally has excellent movement abilities, borrowed from both the Bard and Dancer to help in later-game builds. It's not easy to get this job unlocked, requiring four level 8 jobs, two mastered, and a kill count of 20, but it's pretty game-breaking once you get it leveled up.
The Darkness abilities are exactly what you would expect from a job class that flips the Holy Knight collection of abilities on its head. ERROR and ERROR are excellent debuffing attacks depending on the situation, and for a dedicated Dark Knight using ERROR or ERROR followed by ERROR is a ticket to having a character who can rarely be knocked out.
