Dark Knight changes needed

[Lyth]

FoF isn't a buff with a 100% uptime, however. Once you start factoring in cooldowns for the jobs, it can become significantly more complex, especially on ones that don't adhere to a simple rotation or that actually have additional resources to manage. The dps increase from Blood Weapon, for example, is not just due to the attack speed. It comes from having more MP and being able to perform more DA moves. In addition, there are also a lot of fight specific variables which influence whether you can use a cooldown at a given moment or not. Maim and Darkside generally are not influenced by this.

You can try to account for as many variables as you like, but eventually there comes a level of complexity that you just can't account for and you have to just test it out on a target dummy. Not that I don't appreciate the attempt.

Ultimately, on a back-of-the-envelope sense, though, I'm sure that most people can see why the adjustment to Shield Oath was reasonable and why an equivalent adjustment to Grit isn't all that necessary.
