Instead of healing, it has The Blackest Night. Abyssal Drain is a good heal during big pulls and there is one on Souleater for single targets, Shadowed Vigil and Living Dead.

DRK has lots of AoE:
Unleash
Stalwart Soul
Quietus
Flood of Shadow
Salted Earth
Salt and Darkness
Shadowbringer
Abyssal Drain
Living Shadow

I'll agree that DRK could use some love, but I don't see what the specific moves you mentioned have to do with anything. I like DRK's AoE, and I don't want a 4-hit combo.

I never said they needed a 4 hit combo but my point is they can't even do that. I'm tired of job identy losers coping with dark mind too. It's garbage like oblation. Trash. I never use oblation unless my healer sucks and I'm desperate but I'm still gonna die. Play drk in tower or zot compared to the other 3 and tell me if it's remotely on par let alone 100 content. Yeah I'm angry because the changes needed are dire and are non brainers. Tbn needs to be at meat 35% now because nothing was scaled around it

Yes it is. It's a joke. I pay a sub like everyone else I expect to be able to main a functional job. It doesn't have to be S tier but God damn at lest somewhat uo to par

It would be ideal if they would just merge Oblation into TBN to reduce bloat.

I think WAR is just a little OP. But honestly? I leveled DRK and did a number of DT leveling dungeons with it - I was virtually handling myself without the healer by actually using my CDs like Shadowed Vigil, TBN, and using Abyssal Drain in a similar way that I'd used Equilibrium on WAR.

I have healed DRKs in leveling dungeons where they needed no healing whatsoever - such as Ktisis and some of the DT leveling dungeons. But at the same time, I've also had squishy DRKs that left me spamming my main heal (after exhausting my entire heal kit). The gear and skill of the DRK can have a massive impact tbh.

I wouldn't mind if DRK had healing over time from Salted Earth. I think that would be a fitting way to do it that doesn't just copy+paste other tanks.

I don't mind it being buffed; it just needs to actually break and, in content where it doesn't break, the damage should not be that great when not using it. That might be why 25% is needed. You can increase the effectiveness of TBN by combining it with mit anyway - one of my favorite past times is combining it with Shadow Wall, so less damage gets through into the TBN and it breaks at the pace I need it to.

tell me one reason why you ever should play Drk over like the devs favorite class Warrior?

---

Because it's the Black Mage of tanks at the moment. The job you play to challenge yourself by not having the crazy heals of WAR or PLD and still finding a way to survive.

Honestly, kinda yea. WAR is so incredibly boring after maining DRK. I don't want my tank job to put me to sleep.

i like dark knight

on some lvl it might be a bit weak but its not that bad on higher lvl.
there are a lot of healer who dont know about drk. they just hear how bad it is and whenever they have a drk they are like 'yeah drk are shit, it cant possibly be my own fault the healing is difficult'
often its also the drk player who doesnt use his skills optimally.
and also: after getting used to 'heal' warriors some healers just became lazy.

I love DRK.

DRK feels great to heal, I would like to see it get more dps, possibly in the form of more dps buttons but yeah... I love DRK.

Agreed.

When it was announced that AST and DRG were getting reworks for DT I was like
"Wrong letter! Should be DRK, not DRG"

Then again, seeing how AST turned out, maybe it dodged a bullet?

In the next rework, Dark Knight switches to a Batman theme. Martial arts fighting with throwing knives and rappelling gun to move around or pull in or to monsters.

Still a tank but with pure chad energy, draped in darkness.
