Can we get rid of the sarcasm? How can you be surprised SE is not fixing drk? Many people sound like the job is fine.

Please stop posting rambus.. you bring no value to the discussion.

Anyone who thinks the job is fine is not a career DRK.

Anyone who claims DRK is fine and is also a career DRK is lying, an idiot, or fooling themselves.

There is a huge topic on the Dark Knight forums. Two in fact, that I made, that explains what modifications the job needs in order to catch up. So far having 2 stances (like Hasso and Seigan), one for Melee stuff and one for magic stuff. Melee, we get a longer Last resort duration, stronger perry, higher crits, but weaker and slower Dark Magic. Magic stance would work the opposite way.

We're not overbuffed, everyone's happy, and no more DRK fail.

If anyone, including forum staff, is interested in what topic I and Urteil mentioned, here it is:

I seriously hope SOMETHING gets done.

I know drk needs big updating, PLD does too but the comments I ran into sounds conflicting and confusing.

comment to general not to you Kagato:

limit or get rid of sarcasm please, I do not think it passes well to some people and people to other languages.

like comment on drk is OP because added effect can kill mobs, really? no that is not right.

What other languages are reading the English board O.o

It is hard to think something is wrong with DRK when so many claims the solution is a multi hit crit WS. That just makes it sound like you get less out of razed ruin atma and that is all.

They changed WAR Raging Rush to crit and didn't do the same for DRK Guillotine in one update. Why? I don't know. I like to think SE deliberately keeps WAR overpowered but that's another topic. Critical weaponskills are generally by far the best in terms of raw damage output, so Razed Ruins or not even updating Guillotine to make it critical would be a significant increase in its damage.

Can kinda blame the Kraken Club for that. :/

A crit WS only starts to fix DRKs problems. They are also the only melee job that doesn't have JA or trait to enhance WS frequency and DoT. Jumps,Hasso,STP,DA,TA,DW,MA,Counter,Retaliation,SATA,Pets,Zanshin are all spread across melee jobs to help their output and to help their WS frequency. Before the haste cap a top DRK could hit 86% during LR which gave it a slight edge for 30 seconds every 4:10 but now that thats gone DRK it left swinging the slowest weapons and using the worst WSs. Torclever might be a decent WS but compare it to any other Emp and its down right crappy and a lot of that has to do with the jobs that can use it. Anyone that says DRK is fine inside or out of abyssea is just trying to cockblock any attempt to get it fixed.
