The completely REASONABLE changes to the Dark Knight job thread

[Xyphon]

I'd like to see delirium lower the magic defense of the enemy. I think that follows the same logic of DRK's being the mage killers that they always were

That would also allow another utility for DRK's in raids as either MT or OT.

Otherwise, the suggested changes sound quite reasonable to me ^^.

Not a bad suggestion, but my proposed change to Delirium was more to address the lack of synergy between MNK and DRK. Moving the debuff to magic defense down essentially makes this overlap with Foe's Requium. I doubt SE would let these two stack so it still hasn't really addressed the problem, just pushed it from one job to the other. Also, a magic defense debuff only would be beneficial if your party if it has a BLM or SMN. Mitigation debuffs benefit the whole group regardless of composition.

Reprisal - I agree that its really stupid that you can't keep the debuff up 100% of the time, but putting it on a 15 sec recast is a little too overpowered. A 210 Potency attack off global cool down every 15 seconds? I suggest they just increase the duration of the debuff to like 35 sec or put it on the global cool down (like paladins version) to make it more reasonable. Or they will have to make PLD's version off GCD and give WAR a similar off GCD counter attack.

Well, keep in mind that this is an attack that can only be used while MT essentially, so it will not be usable at all if there are tank swap mechanics and the DRK is not being attacked. Also, I mentioned in the original post that the potency definitely should be decreased from 210 if the cool down is reduced, so we are in agreement there. Being off GCD is a strength of the ability unique to DRK, since WAR and PLD both have to dedicate a combo chain to putting up their respective debuffs. I don't think that should be taken away given the other limitations with the ability.

Hey thats a badass idea! The only one who can lower it is bard. Getting another class would really compliment other setups!
