Dark Knight Megathread

Well, first of all i wanna say your opinion is totally respectable and no one can say anything against that, you like current DRK form and that's totally fine, so leaving that clear let's go by parts.

First of all DRK is a butchered and disjointed kit, is not a thing we can actually debate, it's a fact, you can remove Abyssal drain or plunge, or the whole darkside and won't affect how you use the rest of your skills, at contrary to other jobs wich every or almost every skill contribute on build and dictacte how the job should operate DRK is just a bunch of skills that if you miss one or most of them wont affect at all the others ones ergo disjointed and total lack of any mechanic inside the job outside of TBN.
By your reasoning Living dead is like the rest of the skills, functional and works fine, is a pain to dealt with but do the job like the rest of the invuls, it is worse for the healers? yes but it works and so it's fine so why change it? i hope you understand what im trying to tell you when you talk about other skills like Delirium.

You claim you like the simplicity of tanks and don't need them being more complicated, ok that's a relative fine statement but have you even think about those players who don't wanna fall sleep when playing the role they love? this is not ARR where we have only 2 tanks, we have 4 and not all of them should catter those who like simplicity, there is more ppl around who have diferent tastes and are being forced to play the role reforms without alternatives of the preferences gameplay tastes they use to like to play before what they did on SHB.

The Dev time say they are happy with what they have that's true but what the Dev team and yoship wants are pretty much irrelevant in many aspects specially involving gameplay, they words are not law and they satisfaction of what they do doesn't go over the playerbase satisfaction, they create a game but at the same time they are offering a service and as a customers we have the right to demand changes specially if what they are doing is set aside part of the Tank and Healer mains by oversimplified the whole role when they have enough jobs on them to please everyone to a more aceptable status and they don't bcs they don't give -and sorry for the rude expresion im going to spell- a F*** about our feedback, (remember we have been noticed on the liver letter but have been say practically sorry not sorry we don't care).
There is a lot of examples about this last point, for example when they nerfed 2B bottoms bcs they feel it and the comunity make them to revert that awful change, or when they energically claimed that will be only going to be Female Vieras and Male Roghtgars and now they are going to add the missing genders bcs we didn't agree with they satisfaction on what they did, or a more relatable thing to what we are discussing here when they claimed that SHB Monk was the best thing they did, so proud of they work with the job and yada yada but they have to rework it at the end of SHB to rethink what they are doing with the job on EWK now, the dev team satisfaction matter not specially when they are awfully complacient and heavely negligent in this case on Tanks and Healers with DRK and SCH to be more specific.

In resume your opinion is fine but don't expect someone like me accept current DRK, they take my fav job of the game and throw it to the trash can to gime me this WAR copy of the job, Dev words are not final and you are not the only player here in the game so the entire role shouln't be cattering exclusively to your prefences when we have more than enough jobs for it and having the DPS role doing with their jobs what we are asking to have here, diferent tanks that feel unique and diferent and have diferent skill ceiling to catter those players how like simlicity and those who like something more complex and engaging at the same time, it's not that hard when the DPS role is doing that.

all been say peace, i end being extending myself a bit to much ^^

I dont' think that is a nerf. It's a quality of life change, becasue Delirium will also now have from what I heard 3 charges, not duration. So instead of having 5 skill spam combo on 90s cooldown you will have 2x 3 skill combo on 60s cooldown. Also If I understood LL correctly we will get a Finisher move (that big Purple Slash) to that. I think it's so that Delirium is no longer a "MUST SQEEZE 5 SKILLS IN 10s WINDOW OR I AM BAD!" and isntead will be "ok, I have 3 charges now so 1...2...ok, dodge taht AOE, ok, now 3 and finisher".

Thats how I see it.

Oh i wanted to point on this DRK is not getting a finisher, that purple straight line that feels like an upgraded flood is a GCD that is going to be only usable under living shadow window nothing else, it won't trigger at the end of delirium as they trailer show DRK use it 2 times under living shadow without delirium matching with what Yoship say that living shadow will get a new attack.
