Who plays paladin anymore? Just make it a healer and give it all the CNJ cross class abilities + Holy.

Sarcasm aside yeah it'd make paladin less viable then what people already perceive, when you can clear content in this game with any class in your group, but I hope they do tweak paladin it used to be my main tank but now I drift off to war for it's slashing/path and Drk for it's great MT dps as well as fun play style. For me paladin just isn't an option since the other 2 tanks to me are more enjoyable.

DRK:

Blood Weapon:
Fixed MP restoration cut in half. 10% of all damage dealt is directly converted into MP for Blood Weapon's duration. (However, the most MP that can be restored from an attack is 150% of a normal MP restoration from Blood Weapon.)

Dark Passenger:
DA Effect: Potency changed to 260. No blind effect.

Unmend:
DA Effect: Potency increased to 360.

Dark Dance:

DA Effect: Procs any ability with extra enhanced effects.

1. Reprisal: Potency increased to 300.
2. Low Blow: Target's slashing resistance reduced by 5% for 15 seconds. Stacks with Storm's Eye/Dancing Edge.
3. Unleash: Target's (and only the target's) magic resistance reduced by 15% for 6 seconds.

Once the enhanced proc is activated, the recast timer of Dark Dance will be increased to 120 seconds.

No thanks.

If Unmend was buffed to that extent, it would be better to spam it than Souleater or Delirium. That's beyond absurd.

One of the major changes to Dark Knight I'd like to see is combining Power Slash and Delirium into one ability; buffing spinning slash to accommodate the lost potency. Basically, give DRK an excuse to actually use their aggro combo for frequently.

Just give DRK some DA enhancements on skills like Plunge/Salted Earth(that have none) and give more Grit only effects (just on Souleater atm).

The Unmend request is not happening ever and removing the blind on DP is stupid. It just is. Especially when DA DP+DD is an amazing combo when used effectively.

to be honest: i still would use the combo wich gives me mana, not the one with aggro or debuff.

but if you put the mana reg on the aggro combo, increase the potency AND put the delirium debuff on it too... i would say no, this destroys the whole gameplay and fun DRK offer. i want to use more than only one combo.

Moard edginess!!

- Darkerside, trait: if 0 MP Darkside will drain HP instead. Cannot be used under the effect of Grit.

- Darkness, ability: Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 250 to all nearby enemies. Can only be used when succumbing to the*Darkside.
Cost: 5% HP
Dark Arts Effect: Silence
Grit effect: Consumes MP instead of HP

- Add Slashing Debuff to Power Slash combo
