Dark Knight Megathread

[ThorneDynasty]

Funny thing with you guys is that you literally skip over posts. I said they could utilize Abyssal Drain which is quite literally useless right now beyond a last resort to self-healing. I'm not intrinsically opposed to the idea of having healing options as a tank but I'm disgusted at the idea SE might come up with some Cure spell next expansion, because people can't take any agency or responsibility for their lack of skill, i.e. that includes using CD's properly.

And then once you get self sustain options what's next? You'll be happy? I sincerely doubt it. The nature of this job or shall I say playerbase includes incoherent rambling as to why it's not like the other tanks. Then you wonder why DRK feels absolutely horrendous to play. The developers have no idea what you guys want and I don't blame them. 5.0 was symptomatic of an issue where DRK was way too complex and hard to get into in 4.0, it's conclusion was to simplify everything in 5.0, let's see if 7.0 includes using healing spells and CD's all the time!

I thought our problem was the fact it felt unrewarding to play in every way. I guess if we're complaining about mitigation issues then we're in a pretty good spot.

The point I'm challenging is that DRK does just fine when you set your standards low enough. And you immediately crumble to "well I'm fine wiping more than other tanks". I just don't understand how you can be so hostile and still unironically write that one. Clearly you actually agree DRK does have a problem.

On the other hand, where the standards are definitely too high: Complaining that the collective criticism of hundreds of people on a public forum is not coming out reading like a coherent design document? No kidding. It's not our job to write that one though. Also it's almost like a job can have multiple problems, what is this whataboutism?
