DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

A damn near 70 page thread and absolutely no response whatsoever. GG SE GG.

Now that they released UCOB without a fix or mention of the possibility for a fix to DRK I'm starting to lose my motivation to provide further feedback. Hopefully others still have some energy left in them to fight the good fight though. I've been watching twitch streams constantly and have not seen hide nor hair of a DRK, even in lesser groups proging on Twin.

actually it might be the best time to demand changes as ultimate progression will show the imbalance that we have atm

Maybe. Kinda beside the point though IMO. It shouldn't take content of this difficulty to give SE the proper slap in the face. And if this is the only thing to wake them up and they seem oblivious to the feedback we've been giving since the weeks leading up to 4.0, it really just paints a picture for them of DRK being 100% working as intended outside of the absolute hardest of hardest content in the game. Not really the message I would have sent, but... yeah... w/e.

Honestly, I'm losing energy for the forums feedback as well. With not developer feedback, I think I might branch off my feedback to gaming websites and social media.

I actually have not seen a group progging ultimate with Dark Knight. Has anyone?

Nope, none that I've seen so far. Xeno one of the hardcore players in the game and an outspoken individual, once said during one of his prog runs that: "You would be stupid not to have a WAR/PLD comp in this fight." Make of it what you will, but that alone says lots about DRKs situation at present in regards to coil ultimate but its also the only opinion i've heard at the moment from the hardcore raiders, i'd imagine that they are all singing off the same hymn sheet. Non-world first groups may be taking DRKs on the attitude of "play what you want." But logically speaking, in a fight where the difficulty is that high and even one death could derail a pull, you would want to bring as much DPS/party mitigation as possible.

Yeah. Me.

The job's usefulness is sort of becoming a joke as how MNK was a joke in 3.0. Eventually we're going to see groups only looking for PLD/WAR. This is no longer just a meta thing for speedkill groups.

As SyzzleSpark predicted, hard content would highlight the flaws of Dark Knight. Really not hard to tell given how much feedback the developers have gotten from the player base couple with the development team doing absolutely nothing except buffing warrior.

Right know Ultimate just made the Drk situation worse.



The raid wide mitigation is just too good to leave it behind for a job like Dk that not add anything valuable at the table.


Right now the Dk don't provide anything of valuable for the paty in the form of dps, mitigation or utility over the other tank.



And while we have spoken about this problem in advance for the past month, yet SE didn't spend a post or a note to reply to our concern.
