Dark knight, the past, the present and the future of the job.

DRK is never going to be "fixed." SE has moved DRK away from its HW iteration and StB iteration to this new ShB iteration. We can complain all we want, but SE is not going to adjust DRK to be like any previous iteration.

DRK ShB will be the new norm for now on. 6.0 DRK will be using ShB DRK as a base.


As for the DPS jobs: DPS jobs are SE's priority; not tanks nor healers.

DPS jobs are going to get the fixes since those jobs cater the majority. SE wants to "fix" BRD even, but they don't know how since the player-base is not committed to a specific theme for BRD.

SE is satisfied with tanks right now. ShB tank iterations are meeting what metrics SE has for tanks. Now it is just maintenance of whatever subs are left, which will more-than-likely be playing DPS and not tanks.

That's not need to be true, in HW SE made BRD being a caster and they did a 180º when ppl complaing during all over the expansion, im not gonna argue about this expansion i know SHB has been lost but for 6.0 they can and should change DRK, just bcs they settle it right now that's doesnt mean they are doing it right, the hate for delirium is bigger than dark arts spam.

On the other side i know SE cares about DPS more than the other roles thats why every expansion non DPS roles have some big problems of any kind due low invest on them just a sad reality.

Actually SAM didn't really get the real fix tho, Hagakure, Third Eye , Merciful Eyes, Seigen are there just for decorate the skill/ability list, Guren have no part in endgame raids beyond 70. There's only one strict play style and strict rotation revolve around Midare/Gaeshi.

They fixed Shoha wich was complety useless and a waste of space and make hagaruke a nice quality of life mechanic, third eye and related are kinda meh but still a dps gain and it's fun to optimice for me, merciful eyes is really useless i agree in that one and guren just become an aoe only skill, i agree that direction of make 2 skills being the same but for 2 diferent situations is silly but could be worse, in general i like SAM and get really a lot of love this expansion, tsubane gaeshi it's boring but really minor stuff.
