Dark Knight Megathread

[Archwizard]

TBN is no more "do everything" than Shelltron or Heart of Stone.

As you've pointed out many times, it's a 15 second cooldown compared to those alternatives.
As you've tried to illustrate with numbers, it blocks more health damage than those alternatives in burst scenarios.

You can't have it both ways of "What do you mean, it's even better than any alternatives!" and "It does no more than anything else does for its position in the kit."

That 'DRK's EW increase in capacity must be come in the form of a trait because the other tanks got traits' is asking for homogeny.

... Getting traits that boost your survivability, at the same level as other tanks who would level through the same content and face the same obstacles and difficulty bumps at the same levels, is homogeny now?

What's next, role actions? 30% mitigation skills?

Where exactly is your imaginary line drawn between homogeny and parity?

This is still DRK we're talking about, not GNB or PLD. It's not so bloated that skills must be wrapped together regardless of potential anti-synergy.

With 3 full actionbars, I have one slot open as a DRK.
For a potion.

That's one spot more than PLD, sure, but one less than GNB since you brought them up.

the other tanks would have reason to complain from 48-81

... over not having Oblation. Or an even weaker version.

I highly, highly doubt that.
