Dark Knight is broken.

[Silver_Blade]

War has Shake it off 2 self heals +Raw intuition+holmgangs 180 cd vs DRKs 300 CD that they die with if not full healed Worse cd+longer cooldown? Shadow wall, Worse +longer cd +no slash debuff.

Paladin has divine veil Passage of arms Cover intervene a heal and bulwark +block

Without slashing debuff bringing a DRK over a warrior is a massive DPS loss + a burden to healers. DRK has no block or stacking crit / parry buff or inner beast

Bringing a DRK weakens any group as PLD / WAR bring more

This is an awful feeling. Knowing your group is worse off with you
Please either give DRK a DPS boost and give them slash debuff or utility

For instance make TBN affected by dark arts. When under DA it affects party members within 10y and when TBN is broken it restores mana 15% if used single target 3% each if DA version This would give them utility and increase their DPS a one change fix for all DRK's issues.

Please do not leave DRK broken until 4.3

I know this has been said and I am not alone but we need to let SE know that leaving DRK in such a broken state is driving people away from both the class and the game. When i saw the 4.2 notes and knew DRK would be broken for another whole patch I almost lost all interest in the game. Please voice your concerns if you have not already to let SE know this is a big issue to us.

I'm not sure what more can be done. My joining this forum is entirely for the purpose of the issue of dark knight. I remember when I joined there were so many vocal and visible people making comments and throwing ideas around, and many of them I no longer see making comments. I know some of them have left the game until dark knight gets some real attention, but if people leaving the game over the developer not responding to job concerns isn't enough to convince them to at least make an official statement concerning player concerns then I'm not sure what can be done.

It feels incredibly frustrating how the DRK has been continually ignored. It's actually the reason why I now have all tanks leveled and geared up together because Dark Knight in its current state is a joke compared to the other two. A sad thing, considering I loved having my Dark Knight as a main in Heavensward.

Tbh at this point I care more about how boring and brain-dead the playstyle of DRK has become...

Dark Arts Marathon can't possibly be boring.

You should not have to abandon your class because of absurd imbalance.

No changes in final notes. I guess they don't care DRK is a detriment to every group they are in.
We get to wait another 3 months and hope they actually do something.

Preliminary notes are always final as far as battle system changes are concerned. Final notes just add in crafting recipes and items to prevent crafters from getting a headstart and getting mats for better prices. It's always been a shitty move.

People that think things will change from Prelim to Final stage are fooling themselves. Stop that.
