Blood Weapon / other DRK suggestions:

If they want to sell DRK as the answer to anti magic then I need to see a silence on this thing. And it don't have one.

I would suggest removing a lot of Dark Art Effects or changing them to be more meaningful or different. Problem I have with it is DRK does not have infinite Mana and there are clearly better choices to DA.

Maybe I should learn Japanese?

I see a thread on complaining about Dark Knight mana consumption AND Parry being worthless (rofl)

I have wanted to post but it just feels rude to try and communicate when you don't fully grasp the language.

Nay. You want to change DRK into a paladin? People already complain that shadowskin is a copied rampart and you would like to to make DRK "even less funny" as you stated two pages ago?

And as we are already at statements made two pages ago:
"Warrior does so much more damage and a real DPS class does so much more damage then Dark Knight its not even funny."

DPS not making more dmg than tank is a sad dps.
Tanks dps are almost equal. WAR is slightly higher, if DRK is not MT. Honestly, you are not using parsers at all right? Otherwise, you woudn't post such things. :P

I would rather have different mechanics then the ones given altogether and change the flavor of the class to be less like Samurai and Paladin, Warrior altogether.

Like, really though. Magic Defense Tank? Parry? Really?

Warrior Stance dancing is so much funner of a mechanic, also very rewarding. Dark Knight feels more like a chore to play then fun, you don't really get a rewarding feeling for playing the class.

Dark Knight would be a heck of a lot more interesting if it was based off sacrifice, lifetaps and sustain through magic and had its own flavor and well; just not be a copy of the other two classes with Samurai skills thrown in. Look at the Dark Knight abilities in FFXI:

Look how interesting those abilities are. It can work if you PUT effort into making it work.

What I suggest, is merely making the Tank more like Dark Knight should be.


Flavor and Lore should be the biggest part of any class. When you don't have either you have something broken.

No, I don't use a Parser. I look at abilities and see a higher potential of damage. However, admitting to using a parser is a bannable offense, do you use one? If so tell me so I can report you. :P

If you don't use parser, don't post about damage dealt, because you know nothing about damage dealt!

Magic defense? no, it's a trash, why, 30% off from special abilities reduction with 60 sec cooldown is a trash.
Parry needs a fix, but not Dark Dance you refer to.

You don't like DRK (or maybe just too hard for you? WAR and PLD are indeed easier classes)- don't play and stop making mess here. DRK is a fun class, this opinion is shared by almost all main DRKs, so maybe just give up?

...

No, of course i don't use parser! Of course not! Please don't report me! ;___;
You expected something like that, maybe?
