Dark Knight a more moderate Discussion and Suggestion Thread

With Reprisal, they should just make it operate like Shield swipe, meaning on the GCD and procs any time you parry.

With Dark Dance, it needs to be a bit more potent. +30% Parry rate and 20% Evasion when Dark Arts is pathetic, definitely not a good cool down. Should change it to a "Darkness Shield" that absorbs X amount of damage (some percentage of HP/MP probably) and when Dark Arts is used with it, it generates "Dread Spikes" that reflect all or a portion of the damage back at the attacker.

Shield swipe is on gcd and is handy but not always the best to use. Also hard to compare as sheild swipe is the paladins only tp management and many times fewer ogcds. If it worked like shield swipe it need to cost tp, take a gcd and likely have a worse effect than current. Shield swipe however is one of the we nifty things paladins get and you already reset low blow on parry. I doubt you would get two parry resets without nerfs.

There's no reason why. It's essentially the same mechanic. PLDs block, they trigger Shield Swipe, it does damage and pacification. Reprisal would be the same in this suggestion. DRK parries, triggers Reprisal, it does damage and -10% damage debuff.

Pacification gets ignored by a lot of crap, Reprisal doesn't. They should just remove the parry requirement. Gives it more reliable MT and OT contribution.


1. Take off the parry requirement on Reprisal
2. Why not make the low blows trait apply to both Parrys and Evades.
3. Why not just have the Unmend trait always make it so your next Unleash after unmend costs 30% less mana...
