Dark Knight Megathread

I would take it a step further and make tank gap closers role actions at 2 charges with no dmg in addition to Backstep from Eureka/Bozja. It would free up that slot for tanks and also give them access to a disengage that all other melees have (even some casters have it like RDM). They can even combine it so that the dash procs the backstep similar to how RPR works.

I honestly dislike this idea. Not necessarily because I am against something being done with gap closers on tanks, you are right that they are basically just a bit of extra potency in burst right now.

My opposition to this is more fundamental, simply because role actions have no class identity in their either function or visuals. If I could choose, I would make individual tank up closers more unique rather than do what you suggest. We could have for example, like the post you were replying to suggested, directional dash on Dark Knight, Paladin’s intervention could be targettable at allies and enemies, and if used on ally it could make Paladin take 50% of the target's next hit in their stead, and just move you to enemy if used on a hostile target. Then warrior could have a ground target leap, and gunbreaker keeps potency attack as theirs.

I'd only be fine with it if DRK got some other 2x charge 30s oGCD.

Theres already enough downtime after a burst window as it is.

This is why I want Salted Earth to have 45s CD. It wouldn't affect burst, since it would still only align in opener and then at 6th minute, but you would periodically get another set of 2 actions outside of burst.

I'd do that and knock 20 seconds off Blood Weapon's CD. BW would still line up with 2-mins but also give one more thing to keep track of during downtime. DRK would need still more things changed to make downtime more interesting, but it would be a good first start they could do even now (they won't mid-expansion but hypothetically they could).
