How is this fair for DRK?

[Axxion]

Making comparisons, PVE vs PVP are vastly different, you can't be for real...

And here comes the berating but I'll say it anyway.

Way it is designed currently, Souleater is used a lot more than Gunbreaker Brutal Shell, far more... GNB spends 3-9 GCDs every 30-60 seconds before hitting Brutal Shell again. DRK spends 3-5 GCDs every 60s before using a Souleater sustain again. TBN is only effectively useless if content lacks damage to make it useful, it's used far more in the raiding scene, abused a lot to save players against certain death. Yes, Aurora exist, but this is making a comparison of a Regen vs a heavy instant barrier, regen lowers the incoming damage over time, Barrier soaks the damage meaning 0 damage till broken or worn, 1-5 seconds can be extremely essential for optimising. Regen won't save lives for mechanics hitting like a freight train, raid groups will use less numbers on stacks, etc for more DPS.

Holy Sheltron/Intervention/Reqs vs TBN
Sheltron/Intervention cost 50 points of gauge requiring 24-25s of auto attack uptime, and cap at 100 points, start at capped points. Paladin needs to burn one of these at the start of battle, and needs the 2nd for more pressing issues, Paladin has always lacked self mitigation more than others except an extra raid group mitigation which only works coordinated. Reqs? Don't be dense, Paladin do not get choices off this than the opener, Paladin will fall behind Healers DPS. If you put TBN buffs with a heal, plus Oblation, wow congratulations for over buffing it, since your suggestion of TBN is free use anywhere.

Warrior is obvious.

Pack of suggestions I seen on this forum are trying to edge over other tanks far more than trying to make it fair, or asking for the broken HW Dark Knight again. HW Dark Knight was overpowered AF and should've been nerfed to the ground.

My point is Dark Knight, is a garbage job to play no denying, but at the same time this job has to be catered both sides of the spectrum, the casual content and the high tier content. TBN has a punishment yes, but at the same time we can't have a cooldown made stronger from jealousy, it needs punishment removed and a longer cooldown. Adding really strong barriers, or adding a really strong heal on top of something already really strong, isn't balancing, it's bandwagon make my job stronger than others.

Dark Knight needs multi-pull support, not more overall support against everything.

Well yeah.. I not that slow here... If they take some things from it, it could work. Like take GNB Continuation, Pve it was multiple buttons however pvp version was single. They did fix that in the pve version. The major problem that drk is that its not playing with it strengths. for instance right now on how i look at, drk is the barrier tank, why not add mechanics to it. like making reset a skill or add a heal to the queiues when using Delirium? They can patch that in if they really wanted too. Go back to stormblood version of drk and war for a sec.

When they came out blood price was nerfed soo bad that you couldn't get any mp back or for war when they got rid of blood bath and placed it on the melee dps. a simple patch made them a better.

Button bloating, controller users.

SE removed reset reaction O-GCDs completely, and will never bring it back, it causes other tanks to be picked more and sent front, easily abused. Stormblood Dark Knight DPS was pretty weak and I generally agree it needed a tuning, still why Paladin was sent mainly on main tank for Shield Swipe spams. Dark Knight only got more picked for UCOB prog groups.

For war when they got rid of blood bath and placed it on the melee dps. a simple patch made them a better.

SE's intention, they want all jobs to clear content and more closely even, tanks doing completely different things can make other tanks become useless depending content.

For me and i can only speak for myself. I play on controller as well. for me i found away that worked when playing. Feel like that was more on accessibly

understood on the o gcds. a thing they could have done is add another resource that is tied to it.

Do know that se is trying to break the meta
