Dark Knight feels pretty overwhelming.

You forgot about Salted Earth at 52. Also, I don't find Blood Price to be useful for single targets, but I could be wrong.

Also, Dark Arts with Dark Dance isn't too bad against physical bosses, since it helps to increase the chance of Reprisal.

No, do NOT Dark Arts Dark Dance on a physical boss, EVER! Dark Arts adds dodge chance to DD, not additional parry. But I also said in my post that popping DD before physical busters to force a reprisal and increased chance of parry on the buster is a smart idea.

Or for the HP drain to come with Grit - like Souleater. I think some consistency between those 2 abilities' self-healing would be nice.

I'm all for 50% or 25% drain rate moved to the base of the skill without dark arts.

Thanks for the correction, for some reason, I thought DA boosted the chance to parry.

Dark Dance adds a 20% evasion if you combine DA + DD. Having DA + DD is actually good, I for one actually main a dark knight unlike phoenicia. I think that it works prettyy well. Just make sure you don't have bloodprice up when you do Dark Arts + Dark Dance.

1. If you mean by "unlike Phoenicia" that I don't main DRK, you're vastly mistaken. DRK is 1 of my 2 60s. Also I do not need to main a job to know how it works.

2. I never said DA + DD is bad in absolute values. I just said you should not use it on bosses when you CANNOT dodge their attacks. You're just wasting MP and potential potency added by other skills by doing that. DADD works well when you can dodge. Outside of that it doesn't. Read my post carefully and you will see I encourage using DD for incoming damage too.

Have a nice day.
