DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[347SPECTRE]

Yeah let's just make DRK do 4000 dps in full tank stance(5k without!!) AND bring more utility than NIN MCH Land PLD combined....totally balanced, why didn't SE think of that before!?

We're not asking for an asinine, ludicrous buff like that. I'm fairly certain most are asking for
1. Another defensive CD or a revamp to Dark Mind to make it more worthwhile
2. An actual self heal AD and SE just don't cut it.
3. A second dps combo finisher. It'd be nice if they brought back Scourge as a third combo finisher. And it wouldn't be an on demand DOT like it was originally, it'd have 2 GCD behind it.

I was just poking fun at the above poster's changes xD

So you're asking for everything that they took from the class in the transition to be given back basically lol

My other thread is more and more spot on.

Though scourge would be very helpful I think they could replace it in a slightly different way. For example, imagine if we could dark arts TBN to deal dot damage or something of that nature. There are a lot of ways they could buff our dps though.

As far as more mitigation the only thing I really want is a lower cost on TBN (1800 feels more right) and a shorter cool down on shadow wall.

Here are a sample of the job adjustments planned for Patch 4.1

THIS MEANS THERE ARE MORE JOB ADJUSTMENTS! WE DRK PLAYERS HAVE A CHANCE YET TO GET SOME MAJOR CHANGES! YAY....*sobs*

I'll believe it when I see it, as of now that really doesn't indicate any sort of worthwhile changes to DRK.

The only change I can foresee is a substantial number of Dark Knight mains switching to Paladin or Warrior.

DRK resource management needs some tweaking. I think the class would be better off with an extension of its MP cap to slightly above the cumulative cost of 4 Dark Arts, rather than slightly below.

We may actually see some results if that happens. Either that or continue waiting till 5.0 :I

Maybe SE will listen then. I hope people do drop DRK. I know I barely play it anymore. All I do is spam souleater + Dark arts.

I don't even understand how one of the most simple rotations in the entire game with no real pressure to align everything perfectly can have dps so much worse.

Probably because DRK is the red-headed step-child of the 3 tanks, like PLD was in 3.xx. You would think SE would learn from this and keep it from happening a second time.
