Boycotting Dark Knight

Starting to hate this word "viable".

This is a red herring; if you'd been actually reading these threads you'd know - you keep talking about viability, but nobody else is, and viability has everything to do with content and very little to do with DRK as a job or its balance with other jobs in its role, which is what most of these threads are addressing. Its viable because the content is easy and the job is not broken per se, but it is suboptimal and there is nothing it can do that either of the other tanks can't do better, it has no niche, no speciality.

Piddly potency buffs and +6% mitigation with 15/40s uptime won't fix this. All it will do is make DRK into PLD/WAR Jr. with no raid mitigation tools, which is basically a slightly better version of what we already are.

Cool the hostility, the comment about viability was in regards to the post directly above my first one in this thread.

The "piddly" buff would equate to roughly 5% dps, which is about how far behind drk is from the other 2 tanks at top level,and the 6% mitigation makes it just slightly less than the average you get from raw intuition (6% with 50% uptime vs 20% with 22% uptime). At that point the only thing they're missing is raid mitigation, lots of suggestions on how to fix it in the various threads.
