Dark Knight Megathread

[Runeslayer]

I think that if you're going to take issue with a job's core gameplay loop, then you are obliged to be specific in your feedback. Turning Dark Mind into Rampart isn't going to put 'spice' into DRK. Reducing the acquisition level of Dark Missionary isn't going to give it a defining identity. The reason why complaints like yours are an actual problem is that if the dev team actually decides that the job needs to be reworked but have no useful player feedback on how to do so, we could end up in an even worse state than Stormblood. It's like playing roulette with the job. If you don't know what you want for dinner, stick with the set menu.

Alright, since you're clearly not getting it I'll *try* and spell it out clearly one last time. You continuously think my suggestions are in in regards to reworking DRK, but this is untrue. These are changes I think dark knight should receive before I speak AT ALL about what I'd like to see reworked. Why? Because when that discussion does come up, it's free of the remaining jank DRK currently has, we can set it aside as non factors. What I suggested are supposed to be non-contentious nitpicks of the job that pretty much everyone can get behind; dark mind being the only thing that people will be split on, but I feel there is an alternative with letting it be powerful, unique, and more consistent than it's current iteration after some discussion and brainstorming-- again, I am saving rework discussion for when I actually have ideas, for now I would LIKE to at least have the game inform me what is and isn't magic damage so I'm not throwing caution to the wind on whether or not Dark mind will be effective or useless.

All I KNOW right now is I am not satisfied with the way DRK is now, the core rotation doesn't feel great, I don't feel rewarded for playing 'correctly', and I'm not very motivated to optimize my rotation or get better by the classes own merit. Judging by the likes and lack of rebuttal from that post of mine, it seems it's quite a cold take.
