Dark Knight Megathread

[Benn]

Dont remember when playing samurai that my rotation was composed of 3 skills on a 1-2-3 combo. Last time i played it you had 3 different combos, without counting the plethora of things you do along the way like Soha or squeezing as many Seigan as possible during aoe situations and using different Iaijutsus depending on the situation and having to adapt to not mess your damage window. Samurai is not my cup of tea but i wont deny that its at least solid gameplay wise.

On tank you do 1-2-3 basic combo. On Samurai you do 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-3. It's just pushing same buttons in GCD, no matter if you have 3 of them or 6, it's just "button", 2,5 seconds, "button", 2,5 seconds, "button".

You squeez Shinten or Shoha between burst window same as DRK squeezes Bloodsplitter (equivalent of Shinten as gauge spender) and you squeezes Edge of Shadow if you can (equivalent of Shoha if your meditation stacks are 3).

On basic most jobs works the same:

1. Opening, tons of buttons to press, all OGCDs, build gauges, spend everything.
2. Downtime- basic combo + using spenders where you know you can so you have resources back on your big burst window and don't overcap gauge/mana/meditation/whatever-name-of-yet-another-gauge-is
3. Big Burst window - repeat no 1. as much as possible.

Rise, repeat.
