On the opposite i think the DRK numbers will probably drop due to several reasons:

Paladin looks real sweet now
Reaper is basically DRK aesthetic X 5 so thematicallly many DKR will go to RPR
Dark Knight is virtually the same as ShB and barely evolved, heck even TBN is not as good as it once were due to everyone but DRK getting buffs and Living Dead still being garbage despite every other invul buffed to 10 seconds not counting the boring rotation

My prediction is that many tanks will switch to PLD and eventually some tanks specially DRK will flock to DPS jobs. Healers will grow in numbers temporally to drop to usual numbers after novelty is off

I've honestly been pretty discouraged from even playing Endwalker because of what's been going on with DRK. I've been stubborn and stuck to it through StB and ShB but I really don't think I could go through this for another 2 years.

Another problem is that I'd much prefer to be a tank and the other 3 tanks don't interest me in the slightest.

Right now I'm heavily leaning towards just skipping Endwalker for the time being until the job design team can get it together..

Not a fan of the Paladin aesthetic, nor swords and shields. Warrior feels boring (Which is also my current gripe with Dark Knight, felt differently about it in HW), and I can't really explain Gunbreaker but every time I try to like it, I just don't.

1)TBN 25 seconds heal after pop OR 15 seconds 3000 mana that refunds depending on portion of sheild destroyed after the duration end.

2)blood gauge abilities heal per enemies hit

3) darkmind heal for a portion of ALL damage taken not just magic on reactivation or at the end of the duration

4)lvl 60 trait making spell speed get affected by skillspeed

5)living dead cooldown swap with holmgang

6)remove the heal on abysal drain and make it give blood gauge

For its own sake I hope the Job dies to come back better.

DRK needs its Dark Knight Rises/Bane moment.

I'm wondering how high the chances of getting a "rework" are in EW. I'm expecting low though because its not a dps

Adjustements may be possible. Stuff like tweaking values, adding a property to an ability etc.
I doubt we'd see stuff like changing how delirium works, modifications to the synergies or MP/Blood/Darkside etc. That will only happen in 7.0, if it happens

Tell they fix it I’m not touching it just like War in Shb
