Dark Knight Megathread

At this point, I almost feel like the devs are fu*king with us. They announced a DPS increase for PLD coming in the next patch but are completely silent about DRK's survivability, which has the most complaints by FAR of all the tanks. I'm half expecting them to give WAR more self heals before DRK gets fixed.

Don't think it as they're ignoring you, balance patches have never done re-works of jobs, exception of performing so bad.

At the same time Dragonsong Ultimate is coming in 6.1, and making wild changes can really end up with problems than solving, this is all schedule planned, I assume the rework would come 6.2 if I'm being realistic. If it's 6.1, then, ok was all planned.

The big problems with current DRK are these imo:
1. Delirium feels like an Inner Release copy.
2. Living Shadow doesn't do anything. Its a 1 button press every 2 minutes with no interactions.
3. Dark Mind is not so good in general.
4. Shadowbringer while cool looking is just 2 button presses per 2 minutes.
5. Living Dead

How these could be fixed:
->Delirium could go as a GCD for a new combo, along with Scourge making a comeback.
->Living Shadow could be on a 1 min, and offer you a new combo ( like Paladin's Confiteor combo, but around 5 or 6 gcds, granting you a Reaper like Enshroud effect )
->I got this idea for Dark Mind to be renamed Blood price and heal you for a % of damage mitigated and shielded. Would work well in dungeons, and with the kit of DRK in general.
->Shadowbringer could be a combo for Flood. Edge could have the same treatment.
->Someone posted here before that Living Dead could just grant you a 300% max HP shield if you were to die.

Oh and TBN and Oblation combined into one. 20 sec CD. No MP cost. Its horrible to have to weave while bursting TBN , Oblation, Dark Mind, Shadow wall and the many other OGCDs for damage.
