New DRK is awful. Here’s why and what could be done about it.

Where is this from? Their warrior rotation could use some tweaking, dark knight needs verification on if the darkside bonus applies and if it is flat potency as multiple people have noted and the rotation could use some tweaking as well.

I'm also 90% sure the carve and split was a tool tip error, if you calculate the potency from the moves shown in the media tour it seemed to be doing as much damage as other 400 potency moves.

It was posted on Reddit today after the complete patch notes with the final potencies:

You can check the "DRKSkill", "PLDSkill" tab in the sheet with the potencies from Job Guide section of FFXIV official site:

Regarding the Darkside buff: the methodology uses a multiplier effect of 1.1 potency. Carve and Spit and all other actions from DRK used on this sheet are correct with the values presented on the Job Guide. I have not checked it for the other jobs, but it is easy to verify with the "JobSkill" tab. Carve and Spit is 450 potency. There are some assumptions regarding WAR crit/DH and other few things that may not be very accurate, but it is an estimation regardless.

I am not bringing this just for the sake of PPS balance discussion. With all the potencies and full patch notes being released we can finally discuss (without any doubt) the rotations and optimizations of tank jobs gameplay in Shadowbringers (which is the main point of this thread).

Or whoever made that could, i don't know, update the thing.

Yeah, they could. But they did not. I am just bringing this because I think it might be useful for our discussion, and I have confirmed that at least for DRK the potencies seem correct. I am not trying to spread "bad information" or anything like that.
