Dark Knight Megathread

[KaliAurion]

I've honestly been pretty discouraged from even playing Endwalker because of what's been going on with DRK. I've been stubborn and stuck to it through StB and ShB but I really don't think I could go through this for another 2 years.

Another problem is that I'd much prefer to be a tank and the other 3 tanks don't interest me in the slightest.

Right now I'm heavily leaning towards just skipping Endwalker for the time being until the job design team can get it together..

Interesting.
Why is that?

Not a fan of the Paladin aesthetic, nor swords and shields. Warrior feels boring (Which is also my current gripe with Dark Knight, felt differently about it in HW), and I can't really explain Gunbreaker but every time I try to like it, I just don't.

I feel you there. I leveled PLD, played a lot with it in fact, and it's sweet seeing how good it will be in Endwalker with all their heals, flashy abilities and QoL changes across the board, but at the end of the day, DRK aesthetics are so much more interesting to me, everything from animations, to lore, to artifacts and artifact armor designs.

I was raiding with a group of friends but the more I played PLD, the less interested I was in joining them on raid nights while at the same time, I find DRK as if not more boring than PLD when it comes to gameplay, and seeing how things remained LARGELY the same for DRKs in Endwalker, I do feel a crippling doubt settling in about what I wanna play as after I am done with the story and decide to push on some harder content.
