In the dark...

[kirby200]

Played drk since heavensward and have to say how pathetic and low effort development was for endbringer.

Remove: oblation, darkmind, abyssal drain, salted earth, salt and darkness (the visuals are so cheap for a 2021 game too), bloat overload.

Fix: living dead has been needing a fix since introduction it's just terrible and isn't on par with other tank invulnerability.

Suggestion: Give us another combo (delirium looked cool). Make carve and spit 30 sec cooldown and add sustain to it or give bloodspiller sustain (we can choose when to use it). Combine blood weapon and delirium as they are basically used at the same time, also I miss blood weapon giving a steroid boost it was fun and felt unique.

Why?: is enhanced living shadow 2 a trait (lazy). Shadowbringer is just OGC flood of shadow (lazy again), enhanced unmend (another lazy useless trait).

MESS

DRK feels especially bad in dungeons and progression content, which is a majority of what I do right now. Even in some raids, it feels bad unless you can get their rotation down perfectly for the high DPS.

These posts are the only hope that SE will realize they messed up, and fix our edgyboy. Keep them coming! Until then, I'll have to main pew pew boy. (GNB)

I do not think Square Enix checks anything that isnt the JP forums.

Well great because JP forums are complaining too.

But did you know that this dev team actually plays their own game unlike the dev team of [the competitor brand]? The collect their weekly Allegan tomestones [studio laughter]. They actually have staff members who are known to play PLD and WAR on occasion, as they have since circa 2.0. They have no need to listen to player feedback, because they play the game themselves and know what the issues are. They don't want to be seen to argue with you, though, because it's bad for PR. So all your requests will be met with silence unless they're about Mogstation purchases.

That shit was hilarious, them poking fun at Blizzard only for Yoshi-P to turn around in a later interview and go "what issues with Blood Weapon and Hypercharge, I ain't seen shit. Also no, we don't test abilities for high ping scenarios because Japan doesn't have those issues, lmao." The only reason the English side of the Official Forums exists is so we don't taint the Japanese side with shitty Google Translate complaints, and lets the GMs say "get back in the gutter where you belong, we totally listen and take you guys seriously."

We're just ATM's to these companies anyway. Take a look at the ToS and you'll know.

If it ain't Japan they don't care. Not even the JP DRK thread gets any attention from these devs. I'll check out Lost Ark soon and try to play this game less lmao.

it's honestly pathetic the history this job has
SB
all of its skills culled and turned into role skill leaving us with incredibly clunky and unrewarding gameplay.
ShB
"no more dark arts but not really" reworked into lesser warrior with magic shinten
TBN and LD still terrible ,Dark mind still situational.
blood weapon,Salted earth and abyssal drain turned into garbage,
AOE combo waaay to late,
and esteem (cool but also lacking).
Endwalker
we still have all the same problems as above
we get the terrible unmend effect back
get a worse dark passenger
fluff added to salted earth
and TWO esteem traits
it also doesn't help that Dark missionary and Salt and Darkness are just Dark minds animation but reverse.

is it so hard for Dark knight to be unique to play,have a kit that actually works and enjoyable.

I miss delirium animation

I had the privilege to play DRK when it still had dark arts. That's when you had to play the game of managing your mana well, make real choices between damage or mitigation. Plus weaving in DA was fun to power up your skills.
You could easily seperate the good DRKs from bad. Isn't learning how to rise up to be a good player the fun part of the game?

Now it's been so dumbed down, less interaction (living shadow comes to mind. It could've had ability buttons to press but nah, fire and forget), sad looking animations or recycled, same bad invuln.

Lost ark looking dope though ngl.
