Dark Knight: 5.0x Feedback Thread

Now (ShB), It requires you to optimize your gameplay in order to generate MP, spending it is not an issue.

So, basically, what you already had to do before, but with less pressure now.

You don't have to save MP to stance dance, you don't have to save MP to use Dark Arts on C&S to use it on CD, you don't have to save MP to Dark Arts Abyssal Drain, and you also don't have to coordinate Delirium with Blood Weapon to make sure it gives the most MP/Blood that it can.

The main problem with Dark Knight is that it's streamlined to where it's boring and it more or less boils down to "okay your thing is ready to use now so use it" and MP management is not really considered for defense since the reward for going with defense is just a refund that is not what people are asking for which is why you end up feeling like you're playing a level 30 class constantly because of how bad the sustained DPS is. Paladin and Gunbreaker only have this issue at certain points but that is more or less personal opinion so take what you will from that.

The basic difference is that the difficulty could previously be considered consequent to both "decisions" and "checks", and now can only rightly be categorized as consequent to "checks" ("Did you remember to _____?"), and with fewer spikes in the attention required or types of "checks".

It's kind of like how HW DRK actions-per-minute and SB DRK actions-per-minute were actually quite close, yet felt very different in that DA wasn't the be-all-end-all of HW oGCDs, yet it very nearly was in SB.

I would like to share a clip from xenosys.

I don't know why they decided future tanks invul has to have a downside to it. I mean it's not OP at all in a 8 man or raiding content so why must tank's invul has to have a downside when activated? It already has long cooldown and short duration, it's not like a tank(except PLD) can survive and clear content solely on it's own without healers and DPS. DRK is the only tank that has this. GNB is "pass-able" because of no dmg taken but the reduce to 1HP is questionable. Why and what is the design concept that you need to punish players that pressed this skill?
