Quick Fix To Make Dark Knight more viable

[Ashelia_Ferron]

Uh, since when did DRK have to be more viable? Based on most opinions, it's PLDs that are struggling damage wise. Most statics I've seen use DRK over PLD

It's not necessarily that it can't perform well enough: all tanks can perform well enough and all are viable. It's about improving the job in a way that sets it apart from the others more without changing any of it's main skills. As a 60 DRK and WAR, I always feel like WAR is the far superior tank to bring despite enjoying the DRK playstule more. WAR is in a great place right now, obviously...but I don't think it needs a nerf. This was just a suggestion to give Dark Knight more useful tools and a more unique approach to tanking.

blood for blood which would give us an offensive cooldown to give us something like fight or flight/berserk.

Really?... isn't Darkside and blood weapon enough?

In my opinion, no, these are not enough. Blood for Blood isn't the only skill that Dark Knight could benefit from. I'd be more excited about invigorate and keen flurry, myself. Warrior get Equilibrium on a minute cooldown for TP, has maim which is extremely easy to keep up 100% of the time, the ability to keep slashing resistance down 100% of the time, and Berserk. I'm not upset about these things and don't think WAR needs a nerf. If you only had maim and the slashing down, would you be satisfied? My suggestion was to make DRK more viable to take because as it stands, WAR is the undisputed king. PLD wasn't a part of this discussion, but I believe there are already plans to address PLD in 3.1.
