Dark Knight under review: Feedback to the Developers and Community Team

[Mahrze]

Can you elaborate or link job change details? I couldn't make the LL.

There weren't any:

Summary: DRK - No adjustments for Dark Arts, Potency increase, Defense portion increased, usability improved (8 items), Plunge buff, animation cooldown will be reduced.

from a blogpost in the reddit discord translation tab.

http://www.novacrystallis.com/2018/0...-patch-may-22/ again says something different so anything conclusive will be until patch day.

The reason he probably avoids flat statements for job changes is cause anything could change from now till release probably. We may not even get all the changes at once as im sure they will be working on drk and monitoring public reaction/responses like they did with war.

Drastically changing something within 2 weeks isn't going to happen with SE. They are very set in their ways. Hell, most preliminary patch notes don't change at all once the full notes are released.

Regardless, the option is there. Y'all would complain even more if he stated something and it ended up being different on release.

I highly doubt they could make a change within 2 weeks. We'll most likely know what the other 7 changes are as soon as the preliminary patch notes are made public.

Why do people keep saying this? As if they need to make an excuse for SE?
What we see is almost always what we get, the major exceptions being expansion patch notes.

I'll wait and see what the other changes are until I flip any proverbial tables. I know a lot of people dislike the core playstyle of 4.0 DRK so this patch does nothing for them, but I don't, I just want the tools it has to be more competitive with the other tanks. So this could fix the job for me.

Not expecting it to fully satisfy because SE rarely does with buffs, but we'll see.

At any rate 8 possible changes to drk coming, any guesses?

My pics are:
Plunge (obviously)
living dead
soul survivor
maybe darkside so its not a one and done?
Hopefully a lifesteal outside grit?

[Eliroth-Kaminari]

i still wait for Darkart last 2 second longer change

[whiskeybravo]

It's a bit hard to tell if the other adjustments are inclusive or additional (ie, offensive/defensive buffs, plunge, animation locks + the 8 other usability adjustments.. or are those part of the 8 items being adjusted?)

If they aren't changing Dark Arts then perhaps they will change some other things, such as take off MP cost for TBN and make it a longer CD, take DA effect off Syphon Strike* and/or C&S so you have more spots to hold DA. Something along those lines maybe.
