Dark Knight Megathread

[Lyth]

I'm not the one making a case on job 'complexity'. You are.

And you are right on one thing, I am trying to alter opinion, to protect a job design that's important to me. I don't want your homebrew.

I enjoy DRK's gameplay as it is. I think that the overall gameplay could be enhanced if a few more GCDs were added for variety in an expansion update. If there was a plan to update all of the unique tank cooldowns (Camo/Thrill/DM/PoA), then I wouldn't mind seeing some additional versatility added to DM in fights where there isn't any significant magic damage. I think that it would be nice if Dark Missionary had something extra to offer to offset its more situational use than Shake/Veil. Am I going to argue those points right now? Absolutely not. I'm not greedy. If the balance shifts, then I'll make a decision and step in as needed.

And it would appear you're in the minority there, at least in this thread.

And to be clear, broad strokes, "I don't enjoy it as it is" isn't the same as "the job is unsalvageable and bad." It has good points worth preserving, just like it has low points to step away from.

But given you just spent several paragraphs discussing the connotations of "buzzwords" and how the devs react to them, I'm sure you're aware that "I enjoy it as is" can also be read as "change absolutely nothing at all."
