Dark Knight Changes

Based on everything we've seen from DRK in SB, I'm convinced that no one at SE has any idea of what DRK is supposed to be or how it should operate. No one plays it there, and if they do have a "DRK specialist" who gave the go-ahead for the SB changes, that person needs to be fired. They ought to have people on the dev team committed to specific jobs. People who know the inherent strengths and weaknesses of each job so that when job changes come around in new expac's, we don't have a repeat of what we have now. As it is now, I don't think anyone there knows or cares about DRK.

Not sure what you mean by "since the cross class purge they seem under equipped"

I think what OP means is that DRK lost the most amount of skills to the cross-role system in terms of skills that gave it a unique identity. Reprisal, Low Blow, and Dark Dance (now Anticipation) were unique to DRK in that its identity was partially tied to the use of those skills (Reprisal procs, DD having a DA effect, not to mention its synergy with DP, Low Blow being proc'd by parries). When OP says "purge," they're really meaning that DRK's identity was purged when those skills were taken away BECAUSE we weren't given anything to compensate for the losses. They just finished the job with taking away Scourge, changing delirium, and nerfing DP into the ground. I still don't understand why we're the only tank job without a third combo.....
