Even the JP forum complains about Dark Knight's current state btw

I mean, they sort of HAVE to, right? There's no way the devs can look at all 4 tanks and think "Yeah. This is nice and balanced.'

I'm from EU Light DC and let me tell you over here we DRK get actively bullied just because we're playing DRK.
i've got countless people sending me messages like "Just get off that suicidal emo job and pick something that can survive without a Healer for more than 1 sec."
Plus i have a lot of people sending me countless memes about how bad DRK's self-sustain is.
It's a burden we have to carry if SE doesn't do anything.

I try to keep my DRK job level up with my other tanks in the hopes that SE will fix it, and I can play it again. But everytime I run a dungeon or raid as DRK, I feel like I need to apologize to the healer.I'm from EU Light DC and let me tell you over here we DRK get actively bullied just because we're playing DRK.

I have PLD DRK WHM and AST at 90. I can give you one guess which 1 I regret bringing to 90. I don't think DRK has big issues in trials/raids, but dungeons they are just a joke.
It really doesn't in Trials/Savage Raids, TBN is a lot more effective in content hitting much harder, and HOC/Holy Sheltron are greatly overestimated on their capability for those kind of content.

Eh I really don't think any of the tanks are bad in raid settings what so ever. if 35% mitigation of HSheltron is too low for your healers? They also have oGCD mitigation they can put on you. Really the disparity in tanking is DRK in dungeons vs other tanks in dungeons. Gear will probably fix this eventually. For now though its way out of wack.
It's not that...
Holy Sheltron is in restrictions that it can't be held forever and has to be used, and at the same time needs to be saved to be useful.
The Regen is nice, but the 15% reduction + Shield Block is far more useful than the Regen in content threatening death, saves O-GCD uses.
HOC can easily be set off by power AOEs, which is what you don't want.

Sheltron heals you for nearly 20% health on top of having strong mitigation. How is it not leagues above 25% temporary hit points and no mitigation?
