DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

HEY SQUARE ENIX IM GONNA USE CAPS FOR THIS POST IN THE HOPES YOU HEAR THIS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH

anyways, so I was trying to get through the new 24-man today, and I put Sole Survivor on an ad. Unfortunately I got killed before the monster died and watched sadly as the Another Victim timer expired- which gave me an idea for the skill.

Sole Survivor
Marks target with the status Another Victim.
Converts portion of damage dealt to that target into HP and MP to party members and self.
Additional Effect: If that target should be KO'd in battle, 20% of your maximum HP and MP will be restored.
Additional Effect: If KO'd in battle before the Another Victim timer runs out, and target is killed, you will be resurrected.
Duration: 20s

Recast: 90s

Including previous suggestions made for this skill
What do you guys think? You probably wouldn't actually get to use (the rez) that much, but as a very situational bonus I think it could be very fun to use. Also adds a whole other level to the name "Sole Survivor"

Dark Knight gameplay
This post is not about the actual balance of numbers (potencies, durations, cool downs) and how the numbers compare to the other tanks but about dark knight game play. Here are my ideas to add to the mix of the DRK left in the dark this patch threads.

Listed are some changes(or fix) that i feel would make dark knight more enjoyable to play.
Add your thoughts about gameplay not about the balance of numbers.

(adjust the numbers for balance as needed)
Unmend: additonal effect changed from 30% for a free unleash to a free Abyssal Drain

Dark Mind: Can only be executed when succumbing to the Darkside. Reduce magic vulnerability by 0%. Every time a Dark Arts is consumed add 5% to reduce magic vulnerability to a max of 35%. When skill is activated percent goes back to 0%.

Souleater: add partial hp drain out of grit (less then when in grit)

Dark Passenger: lower mp cost. should blind be a part of it or changed to something else? it clashes with synergy of other drk skills

Shadow Wall: Changed to 30 second duration. 1st 10 seconds 30% dmg reduction, 2nd 10 seconds 10% dmg reduction, last 10 seconds 5% dmg reduction

Delirium: oGCD attack with original animation. costs 10 blood, 5 second recast, 80 potency, grants a small amount mp, adds 3 seconds to blood weapon and 6 seconds to blood price.

Blackest Night: its seems many think a 6 second duration will help this skill

Sole Survivor: add gives blood if target did not die during duration.

Power Slash: add dark arts effect also guarantees a critical hit.

new trait at lvl 56. the level abyssal drain is earned.
Fully Unleashed: Turns Unleash into a oGCD with 50 sec cool down. When used, Unleash morphs into Scourge for 10 seconds and can be used once during that time. Scourge(old animation) is an oGCD attack that adds a DOT to target that lasts for 40 seconds. Hp is gained for dot damage dealt.

Would make DRK way more unplayable with some of those suggested changes which actually sound like nerfs when DRK doesn't need any more nerfs... also this regarding balancing DRK for those who are midcore and hardcore those suggestions are really bad for DRK since they wanted DRK to be tank role...

I've suggested before to change Sole Survivor into an instant heal that consumes blood, but what if thats based on blood itself, so 50 heals a part but 100 blood heals you for your max HP. With this change you can get yourself out of walking dead.
This way we're not healer dependant for our invul ability, like war and pld..

If this happened i'd end up never using the heal at the risk of not having it for living dead. Honestly livind dead just needs a rework. There's no reason for it to function the way it does when the other 2 are alot less detrimental. If anything they just need to change the adverse affect from being killed to ending up with weakness status affect.

I would like to see living dead become damage absorbing and restore hp. Some sort of middle ground between hallowed and HG. Basically you can pop it and go down to 1 then all damage taken becomes hp restored. When it wears off you just stay at whatever hp you were. Instead of living dead it could be call something like dark pact.

Already suggested something similar for the Stormblood Delirium but much more balanced.

Welp, I did get the chance to play Warrior after the changes.

It hurt even more.

I can't even. Haha.

add this: blood price is complety useless on shinryu, all is magic there making tank in grit being so damm painfull, they need to make MP retunrs in both type of damage.

BP works on magic... it's just, magic hits usually come at a slower rate.
