Dark Knight follow up thread

[DRKoftheAzure]

I think I figured out why I like GNB, and the first two iterations of DRK; there is a lot of buttons to press to max out DPS(though for Heavensward DRK Dark Arts was need to max out both DPS and and tanking whereas Stormblood DRK was just DPS to max out).


Shadowbringers DRK doesn't have a lot of offensive based cooldowns which explains why it feels EXTREMELY SLOW. It's also probably why I don't like playing PLD or WAR...


And I play on controller using WXHB with most of my buttons set at when you get them by level(Basically muscle memory) and I also started using macros just for some of GNB skills, and I put stances on expanded XHB along with the macros(macros are for when I am offtanking or Gnashing Fang combo).

But GNB is about as fast as DRK. >.>

I believe part of that problem is we have less buttons to press but we have to use them more often. Sure it might be(doesn't feel it to me) as fast or APM as GNB, but it's also having to hit Bloodspiller 4-5 times every so often and Edge as well. GNB looks to have more to juggle/cycle through by comparison at least at a glance.

And yeah I do like juggling between my GCD combos... over spamming the same 1 GCD 5 times...
