"Swear to me!" - A showcase of your Dark Knights and experiences thus far.

I couldn't find a thread that showcases Dark Knights - if there is one I apologize.

I'd love to see the many Dark Knight glamor's with the class so far - both before and after the changes in 3.2.

I'm at work right now so I'll post screen shots up once I have a moment.

A thread about glamours I can totally get behind, but mixing it up with a rotational experiences may make the thread a bit muddled/unfocussed imo. Maybe stick to glamour-only thread? We already have DRK guides and such if one would like to know about optimal enmity generation and I think few deviate from that. If they do though, they'll probably relay the experiences in those guide threads. This also seem to make more sense for me from a user-searching PoV. Imagine trying to find those rotational experience in between glamour posts, you'll get two conversations in the thread getting mixed up all the time.

Anyway! To stick to the suggested experience topic, DRK was my first job I got to 60 when HW was released, taking the time to postpone story progression just to lv it to 50. I was maining a PLD before that and I could already tell the darkness vibe and ability-wise mix of being a PLD/WAR would be ideal for me for tanking. I found PLD a bit too straightforward and loved WAR variety, but never really liked the whole "unsing axe as if playing baseball". It's also nice that at the time my glamour, The Demon Armor of Fending, was quite dark knight'ish.

I still love the DRK, but sometimes when I feel a bit more helpfull to my party I like to play PLD again, as I love the support they can offer over a DRK (Heals, Cover, Stone Skin). The one thing I'm really missing on a DRK is a silence. I find it strange how they're missing one as they seem to be the anti-magic tank, but I guess you can't have everything. xP

Ps. will add pic later when I get behind my home pc

Good point! Glamor it is!

Showcase your glamor! I'll post tonight! I never got home at a reasonable time (maintenance was up)

Recently posted these in the tank glamour thread of my current DRK high allagan glamour

Here my current glamour based on the ilvl 100 pvp set i think i'm gonna change the weapon with Nothung when i finally finish the quest

Those pics are amazing! Sorry I've not kept to my commitment of uploading. Some personal real life stuff happened and I had completely forgotten.

Tonight when I get home! I'm always trying to perfect my glamour game =)

I recently found the Uraeus Coat and loved the look of it. Punching Gloves, Proto Midas Boots, and sunglasses. And Sephirot claymore. :)

Pretty generic... except I am contemplating another look. I noticed the Allagan coat is being used a little bit much these days - not that I am complaining.

This look has grown on me quite a bit, I've tried changing it, but I like it too much. It supposed to have Nothung, but right now Nothung can't be dyed and I find the silver filigree on it rather ugly when paired with the silver on the skirt and the gold on the armor itself.

"Nothung" wrong with that =p

My Dark Knight glamour. It mostly consists of Odin armor, but with the Law Headpiece. When dyed black, the gold accents on the headpiece match the armor pretty perfectly.

That's for two reasons. The first is that it is a lot easier to get these days with an unsync'd party (or you can just pay for it, if you're a gillionaire and too noobish to just get the clear). The second is that the Heavy High Allagan Coat of Fending is still one the sexiest Tank coats in the game. It's sleek, good for both genders, and goes with practically EVERYTHING. Seriously, you could slap damn near any weapon in the game onto that coat and it will be a good match, even in its default colours. It's a shame we haven't gotten any tank coats that are up to this standard since Second Coil (though the Final Coil coat was also pretty darn nice, in it's day).

The biggest problem with the Dreadwyrm Armor of Fending is that it has... curious placement of the wings. It's one of the reasons I've stopped using it, I can't stomach seeing the wing on the front clip into Sakura's shoulder while she's a Dark Knight. It just looks wrong. Also, more Heavy High Allagan Coat love:

I didn't mind the wing so much, but that was on Pld or War. Drk didn't exist at the time, so it probably wasn't designed with that in mind. I think the biggest problem I had with the dreadwyrm set, though, was the colour. It wasn't as universal as the high allag set. It did go exceptionally well with Ramuh's weapons, but some of the others clashed a little.
