DARK KNIGHT HEAVY TP PROBLEM

[Ipkonfig]

Paladins have no means of TP regen. Until HW Warriors were in the same boat. Also what fight are you burning through that much TP? In the current content (not including Alex cause it came out today) there is no reason you should be out. Both Ravana Extreme and Bismarck Extreme have plenty of downtime to allow you to get back to full.

it's all about managing and when to use blood weapon. a fire that burns twice as bright burns half as long. just gotta know when it's better to use mp rather than tp.

blood weapon boots gcd refresh a lot (like by half a second.) also paladins have stoneskin and clemency to give their tp some down time.

Both Shield Swipe and Clemency are kinda like TP regen skills, not good as invigorate or equilibrium but its better than being afk durning boss fight.

Shield Swipe

Swipe doesn't work when you're OT so that's not really relevant to OT situations. PLD ends up better off than DKR because DRK gets a very big skill speed bonus that's up often and pretty much needs to be used on CD for MP.

It's kind of funny WAR ended up with a TP boost. WAR hardly had TP problems as MT because of the Wrath-spend skills that used no TP. Now WAR has the 0-TP Abandon-spender skills and a TP boost. Even while OTing before I rarely ran into a situation where I was running dry before a melee DPS needed TP-song.

DRK's main issue, IMO, is what they bring to the OT position. They can really bring some sweet burst from Bloodweapon + DA souleaters but they burn out very quickly and the only utility as OT is the int-down. I think they probably should merge aspects of Abyssal Drain/Dark Passenger/Unleash (after all dark arts basically lets any single skill slot do two things if they want) and use the openings for TP and/or party utility.

Paladin may not have a hard TP restoration skill, but they are much more TP efficient, and can output higher damage for longer because of it.
