DRK as a Barrier Tank

[Xiaoki]

Such a bad idea.

Greatly increasing Dark Knight's barrier shields would make them better in dungeons but it would destroy raids.

Preventing damage will always be better than healing damage. Always.

This would make them the de facto main tanks for all raids. A main tank that takes very little to no damage at all? Yeah, main tank.

Did you even consider the effects this would have at all levels of play before posting?

No need to be so aggressive.
Could also be applied to someone else like it is now too. If it's just numbers to tweak that's fine.

WAR exists.

Wars advantage was only Holmgang abuse in Savage/Ultimate raids, Dark Knights TBN seriously carried the raids it was no joke, it made DRK such a meta tank. DRK was picked far more in UCOB because of TBN, despite it's bad dps. For Eden it was extremely powerful.

Heavy barriers denying damage is a massive advantage in Savage/Ultimate raids, damage denying than reducing is a lot stronger in those contents, hell Sch/Ast barrier stacking was too much of an advantage over Whm pure healing, it saves far more healing and brings more DPS to the table.
