Dark Knight Megathread

[Oizen]

It's got too many OGCD options to fire off in the first few rounds with the way it is designed right now that is for sure. There's some kind of breaking point on having just the right number of cooldowns and too many cooldowns, and it gets hit somewhere between 70 and 90.

Dark Knight should definitely retain its ogcd focus, its been a staple of the job since it came out.
People bitch and moan all the time that DRK is too similar to WAR, well chopping down its ogcd focus seems incredibly conter-intuitive to making it unique seeing as spamable Edge of Shadow and its critical mass of damage only ogcds is its identity.
Its a busy job, and its the hardest tank to optimize. That is not a bad thing, if you want to play a tank that has fewer buttons to press, WAR and PLD exist just for that.

If you want a tank with just as many buttons to press, but a more rigid and thought out rotation, play Gunbreaker.

It is okay to not like Dark Knight. But please don't ask them to change it to be even more like other tanks because you don't like doing what the job has done since its inception.

It's not really the number of oGCDs that are the issue, it's how they're utilized. You have no real odd minute bursts anymore, yes technically you still burst every minute but that's just because you don't want to waste cooldowns that are ready.

Best example is Shadowbringer, it has a 60 second cooldown but do you use it every 60 seconds? No, because it has 2 charges so of course you bank both for the actual burst every 2 minutes.
Every oGCD is essentially funneled into the party buff window which creates a complete spamfest when it happens but when it isn't happening you're just going through utterly bland filler.
