Dark Knight feedback

[Jandor]

Seriously, what is the Dark Knight supposed to be in this game, other than a TANK that has a visual theme and a playstyle - Do they even know? And without knowing what the Dark Knight is supposed to be (or whatever other job), how do we even suggest how to improve it?

I think Dark Knight is supposed to be the "active" style tank with the Dark Arts based attacking and the Blackest Night based defending, only tank really where you can actively block hits by pressing an on-demand button. I mean, yeah, it's on 15s CD but in real terms it's normally ready when you want it.

Except that paladin has sheltron, they both have different uses but function really similarly. Since you can recharge your gauge every 22 seconds it also plays in a very active mitigating style. However they differ on how actively they buff themselves, which is what truly makes DRK active.

Yeah I suppose, although Sheltron (in SwO) should take a tad longer to be ready than TBN.
Still, I think that active style was part of the intent behind SB DRK, it is just a guess though because as Salamander says they're not exactly clear on what the goal is over at SE.

Agreed about SE's position on DRK.

Sheltron fills in SwO every 22 seconds from auto attacks, which is only 7 seconds longer than TBN recast so its fairly similar in high uptime fights.
