Problems with DRK - Advice needed please!

not sure if you trolling or having so hard understanding, who said you could use it twice.?

To clarify, Gildarts means that those are the places where you would use Reprisal if it procs. So if it procs before Spinning Slash you use it then, if it doesn't proc there and procs after Spinning Slash you use it there. Hard to represent that visually on FFXIVRotations.

The rotation that you posted shows reprisal used as two consecutive oGCDs without any explanation. There are multiple people who you have confused with your notation. As a follow up post, you suggested that "you don't know when reprisal will trigger," when it's clearly not going to trigger in the next 30 seconds. I would advise that if you're posting guide rotations, you should at least be amenable to feedback and criticism, especially when some of your oGCD decisions are less than ideal, at best. Nothing personal.

While I already stated it's not my rotation in first post yet I have to do it again zzzzzz, I have abit slight changes in MT rotation
seeing how you continue to post these funny posts
Any Mediocre DRK would have figured out at first glance;3 Nothing personal Ogcd master.

So now that people mentioned what skills to use I'm gonna mention a few other things.

Are you using Grit? Did your friend use grit? If no Grit then you might be able to beat it then.

Also keep in mind DRK's DPS will vary due to damage in com, proc low blows and MP gained from Blood price.

Another thing is did you friend use food or a POT?

Also what weapon your using? Your friend may be 3iLV lower but if he has a better weapon then 3 iLV diff is nothing.

Well, if you yourself are disavowing it, then I suppose there's nothing more to be said.

i'm not ~ its personal preferences and so on, yet i already said its good rotation and one who came up with it one of best dark knights there, just because i change sequence doesn't mean its bad.

People are grossly over-estimating the difficulty of the fight if they are swapping PLD for DRK just because of "one more magical cool down." The Tank Busters are the easiest part; and PLD always has Hallowed, Sentinel, or Rampart for every single Punishing Heat (minus the one after the first Inception which I notify the healers in advance.)


I'd also add that Divine Veil saved us during progression far more than Dark Mind ever would. Shielding: Prey targets, people headed into Timegate, second Inception mechanics, and before Holy Bleed.
