Dark Knight Megathread

Pretty much the only way that this is going to be balanced against Holmgang's significantly shorter recast is if the new Walking Dead effect is just the lifesteal effect, without the old heal or die condition attached.

Otherwise, many of the old issues are going to remain. You could cleanse the effect too early and die. There's still no UI element to show the healing requirement, so your healers don't know how far you are from cleansing the effect and might waste unnecessary cooldowns in the process. If it's weaponskill/spell only, and/or if the healing ticks are too low, then your own contribution to the invuln may end up being insignificant.

And that's not even addressing many of the other complaints that were brought up, including Blood Weapon and Oblation.

To be fair, they did say they weren't going to talk about all changes and just only lightly touch up on a random change or two per job, and the slide even mentions there's more unlisted changes, so nothing's really final about anything non LD related till the patch notes come. Even LD is kinda ??? until we find out if its keeping the instant death condition or not.
People are also reporting him verbally talking about a DRK ability getting a stack system at one point, but take that with a grain of salt since it's just discord messages and no timestamps.
Edit: someone mentioned he says it right before WHM part of the image is listed. "We turned something on DRK into a stack action so you'll always get the number of hits no matter your latency" is the wording.
