You must be one of those dark knights in denial still. I can tell by your quotes that you really just like getting a rise out of people so let me reiterate the concept for you since you didn't read it the first time. I have a good deal of gear for ALL the jobs i play and anyone who has can simply see the difference. Please if you have further comments i will start posting data for my drg/drk/war/nin against what your opinion is apparently.

Well, WAR is clearly better.
DRG is better too...
But after that it depends on buffs. If you're getting Samba+Marches+haste then SAM will be better
If not, then DRK stands a chance against SAM
For WAR, it depends on retaliation really.
DRG is just freaking amazing from what I've played. -

My DNC outdamages my DRK. Hell, my WHM outdamages my DRK. Even my (god forbid) RDM can probably do that. I know most jobs do in abyssea. That doesn't mean that DRK is dead, it means people need to get the hell out of abyssea sometimes.
Sure, show me your numbers. I am in denial that DRK can be outdamaged by everything. Please help me rid myself of this scourge. -

I think it would be cool if dark's could implement an ability similar to ninjas, such as dark shadows or something, not just dread spikes to absorb physical damage up to 50 % of our max health. Or maybe have us expend mp to raise defense. Dark's were meant to sacrifice something to gain something in return, so I'm thinking its about time we can raise our DEF a little.

Well, defense is a pretty useless stat.
Shadows aren't though -

If you look at the other job threads, the thief thread especially.

There's highly detailed explanations and posts by camate actually relaying information from the dev team to us the community?
Can we please get a response Camate in realation to:
What direction are the devs taking us with magic: elemental, dark magic?
Are we ever going to see any boosts to drain and aspir potency.
Why do we have TACTICAL PARRY WITH RANK E SKILL. <---
Can we get reduced drain timers?
Are we getting more tiers of Aspir and Drain?
Where is our auto-refresh and magical attack bonus?
Some solid questions and even half-answer from the dev team would be appreciated by everyone. -

I think we got tactical parry because PLD got shield mastery. It's only fair!
In my opinion dark magic should have its own "MAB" since Drain and Aspir are unaffected by it.
Elemental Magic is pretty useless, and as suggested, we should get magic BURST bonus if anything. Auto-Refresh would be widely welcomed, but I assumed we got left out because of Aspir.
That aside I welcome a Dev's answers, see where DRK is going really XD
