Am I missing something, or are Dark Knights just terrible?

Hmm, well best mitigation is something at least. Worst damage output is definitely disappointing; I'm guessing that means that DRK is the worst progression tank.

Don't let that fool you, max damage between tanks varies up to 3 or 4% from highest to lowest. Damage isn't a critical factor when picking DRK.

DRK is actually solid as a progression tank due to TBN. Dont know what happens next? TBN and see. You do know and it deals damage to you or co-tank? TBN anyways, chances are it's worthwhile anyways as long as it breaks.

I hate this concept.

"The Blackest Night is only good if it breaks!"

Not breaking is considered bad, regardless of the amount of damage it lets you soak for some reason.

That's dumb.

Consider the following:

If in seven seconds you didn't lose 25% of your maxHP, would you truly need it at that moment?

All cooldowns can be wasted if used in a low damage timeframe, it is just that TBN has a very visible indicator of failing to optimize it. On the flipside it is incredibly flexible due to the short cooldown and its' MP refund mechanic.

If TBN didn't have this incentive, it would just be a rather bland cooldown

Actually DRK is consider the strongest tank for progression, Wich his braindead rotation that make you stay focus more on the combat that you own mechanics and his powerful mitigation kit that make it even op on magical encounters like T.E.A make DRK a low effort high reward tank, and the dps difference is only 200 Wich is nothing this day.
