Dark Knight Megathread

[Briarthorn]

I do wonder what we could do with blackblood. I feel like if we went to astros or dragoons with "You'll be like X with some of your other stuff", They'd get pretty nervous. But after 3 expansion i wonder if that ships sailed.

I do also wonder if reducing damage with debuffs could be something DRK could get again.
Reprisal used to be part of our counter attack

We used to be able to blind enemies ,which i think might be useful currently as not working on bosses would give us an edge on multiple little foes like in dungeons, but not raids where we seems to be doing fine.

There are logistical concerns with this.

For starters, debuffs like Reprisal would be considered part of raidwide mitigation... but as we've seen with Reprisal, many bosses are untargettable (or otherwise immune) for their biggest hits, making raidwide buffs more reliable in a choice between the two.

Blind could be extremely useful for dungeon encounters, but bear in mind that as with Holy stuns, crowd controlling effects are subject to diminishing returns, particularly if they have a relatively low initial duration to compound this more quickly... and conversely, that our barrier is presently a net negative if enemies can't break it because they couldn't land a hit on us.
