We (maybe) did it. DRK is being looked at.

Um...so, I have a question. How is Dark Knight doing now currently after the update in comparison to the other two tanks?

Because of more times the boss is untargettable, WARs burst DPS makes them do even more, and with DRKs lack of burst, means PLD also does a bit more.

With TBN and Dark Mind, a DRK can handle most Tank Busters pretty well, due to most being magical. Except they lack fluff mitigation for the auto attacks, leading to nearly 50% more healing through out the whole fight.

And of course, DRKs struggle to hold hate w/o grit/powerslash, even with shirk, unless they have a NIN, just like in HW. (Mostly on SAMs)
(Also doesnt help PLD and WAR still have abilities to help cheeze mechanics and make fights easier. Supposedly the floors have all been solo tanked, but none of those solos were possible with a DRK.)
