A new tank stance to fit Dark Knight better

[Ceodore]

In concept that seems laughable however in if you combine it with the new Blood Weapon and Blood Price...

You will gain a large chunk more health over time then you will lose. You will gain a large chunk more MP over time then you will lose.

=IF= you use them correctly.

If you notice, 10% of all damage received is converted to HP on Blood Price as well as increased healing received. Its different, but it works.

And you don't think you will take a ton of damage, or use a ton of MP during the 30 seconds that they are down? Or if you fail to make the full use of them in their duration, you go longer with the same problem. If you get stunned, you'll lose MP. If the boss goes invuln, you will lose HP. All things that can happen during these skills up time.

Yes, and that is why its an Advanced Job. Also, all of that can be countered by knowing the fight. If you know when things go invuln. Also, you can still turn Dark Side off when they do, for example.

There might be some fights where you might not even want to turn on Darkside until after invulnerability phases.

All of this is simply skill, knowing your class.

Its "Perfect" in my opinion. Advanced Jobs should be harder to play.
