Dark Knight 6.0: Wishlist

[Kalaam]

I have to admit that I very much miss having that feeling of doing a counter attack with Reprisal proccing on a parry back in HW, that was nice to weave that in. Heavensward DRK felt snappy and constantly on the edge (lol), and while I do like a lot of stuff that was added in SB and ShB, like Edge/Flood of Shadow that look sick (and 100% scratch my mystic knight itch) and TBN. I do miss some of its busy-ness.

Even then they could have distributed the 900 potency from the DoT over the rest of the GNB kit in other ways. As best I can figure Sonic Break and the Continuation combo's skill speed based cooldowns were an attempt to create a Job that got stronger the more Skill Speed it had; not that that would have worked with No Mercy's fixed 60s cooldown.

They're so close to letting haste be more viable, and they still miss the mark by a huge margin.

"Rotation skills should reduce CD with more haste!"



"Except for the ability buff windows."

I saw an interresting idea on the japanese forums, to add Bloodspiller to the rotation kind of like the 4th hit of the dragoon combos, with a 2nd combo for the DRK. My japanese understanding is limited, but it seemed interresting. They even had made a picture to explain in further details

Of course, to give credit here is a link to the thread

And here is the picture



If I understand correctly, Delirium would change your normal combo to this 1 2 3 4 combo ending with Bloodspiller.

That threat ask to rework delirium from his current boring bloodspiller spam to a 4 step combo in a single button like the pvp DRG combo with whatever recast they feel putting on it, nothing more nothing less (notice power slash and scourge an in the combo), it's just the same but with different animations on each hit since they are sic of the bloodspiller spam too.

Thanks for the clarification. I'd honestly be ok with that to be honest.Each tank has some form of a "spam" damage phase. PLD spams Holy Spirit thing, but it can be used at range and has a big finisher, Warrior spams the same direct crit attack, GNB has their cartridge combo...

I enjoy 99.9999999% of Dark Knight the way it is.

I know this is the place for people to act like everyone hates the job, but some don't.

I would enjoy a helpful healing spell attached to damage output over X amount of seconds. Even if it does minimal restoration or turns into a HoT, it would be nice to extend a good tank's ability to DPS while healers are incapacitated. It would also be super helpful on the world maps when farming stuff and Choco Cure isn't enough.

As much as I enjoy Living Dead, you need a capable healer to bring you back, and usually the reason you used Living Dead is because you don't have a capable healer.

To be honest I would prefer if DRK dps become a sustained once again like it was back in HW and SB and have a small burst mechanic every 120s under living shadow, this would contribute more on make it unique specially considering the bast mayority of raid buffs are under the 120s mark including each trick attack so DRK would be able to have his burst damage but his overall gameplay would respect his original gameplay at it should and make him feel unique compared to the other tanks that move between the 60s and 90s burst windows.

I see a few beautifully done reworks for DPS but havent seen any tanks, if DRK has one similar someone lmk DRK fans are displeased and im betting at least a few of them tried to reimagine it in some way
