drk doesn't really have lockdown or teamfight utility the way a pld does. so far all intents and purposes, they are really just a tanky melee dps.


i think, as is the case with many games, it can be difficult to know the potential of a job until someone actually does it first and paves the way. there's one particular player on my DC who routinely picks up 20 kill games on drk like it's nothing and if he actually had good, consistent teammates and heals he'd probably already have had a 30 kill game or two. to be honest, i consider that to be an eventuality anyway.

if drk had chain stuns or cover or whatever else like pld, i'd say sure try to use it as more of a support tank. but if you look at the abilities afforded to it, it's basically a tanky drg. you can do big, big things with dark knight.
