Dark Knight Megathread

As much as I'd like to make it interesting, I sadly do not trust the devs to do it without absolutely making the move useless. They have a poor track record with DRK for the most part and can't be trusted. I still think the Living Dead fix was a fluke.

So, literally pre-trait Equilibrium?

How would that tie into the themes or motifs surrounding the name, or DRK in general?

At the very least, if having AD conflict with Flood, you'd want to put AoE falloff on CnS.

From an aesthetic side AD gives me more of a sense of sucking the life out of your enemies, rather than doing it passively through Quietus/Flood. Mechanically though yeah, I wouldn't disagree putting a heal on Quietus/Flood would be better and wouldn't necessarily say no to that either if they did that.

I was also thinking that it'd let them separate CnS and AD again since I always saw that as an awkward fix for alleviating our already bloated opener, but I guess in the grand scheme of things it's a non-issue.

I'd prefer to see any additional self-healing just be built in to existing offensive abilities.

I'd really like the dev team to try something daring next expansion and try to just improve on tanks' offensive gameplay and mobility. The defensive kits have been expanded on enough.

Having it build into existing offensive abilities will just make it even more similar to warrior though

How does WAR having a 1.2K potency cure with an extra regen tie into the themes or motifs around WAR? It doesn't.

what about getting healing on salted earth ticks on enemies? would also help in giving some much needed values to that skill

It'd be good in dungeons but pretty bad on single target though, plus if the enemy moves for a mechanic it'd be wasted.

yeah, but do we really need more in boss fights? DRK is already a powerhouse with its dps for savage, if we add too much single target sustain it could get way too much, dungeon pulls on the other hand are exactly were we are so badly lacking

Then they need to change the recharge timer to 30s on AD and CnS when AD is used, and up the healing potency per enemy hit to 400. This gives us one strong burst heal in dungeons, and speeds its use while not really effecting our single target game much. That or the cowards need to put it back under MP costs so we can spam it if needed while in dungeons.
