Dark Knight Megathread

[Zairava]

Yeah, while I would like to see DRK lean more into shielding I don't think Dark Mind is a good candidate for it. (It's pretty likely Shadow Wall will be upgraded if WAR isn't the only one who gets an upgraded 120s CD...which wouldn't surprise me). So it's possible to be on Shadow Wall instead.

I wouldn't mind seeing Dark Mind get the addle treatment, but please god don't make it just another rampart.

The only scenario I would ever accept that is if rampart stops being a role action and is PLD exclusive again.

I have heard *cough* birds tweeting *cough* about an uprising of the 30% defensives. Something to look forward for.

But what do I know. *giggle*

The only other candidate is Oblation, but that would likely come at the cost of a stack.
I think a shield on Dark mind would be fine.

Why would it come at the cost of a stack? Oblation with an extra 10% shield would not break the bank.

Really, no need to be so humble and offer up what little we have when Intervention, HoC and NF exist.

Its crazy because DRK players have expected so little from Devs that we dont even ask for big things anymore.

I hope they show DRK off last in the job action trailer because far too often we see what DRK gets and then all the other tanks get something way better.

I actually hope they show Dark Knight first so that way we can get the disappointment out of the way so we can focus on which tank we would rather play as if Dark Knight is just more Edge/Flood of Darkness/Shadow spam, more Bloodspiller spam, more frequent/longer Living Shadow/Salted Earth, and spamming more oGCDs like we already have now with our filler just being 1-2-3 spam with the occasional Bloodspiller every 30 seconds... and yes that IS my expectation for Dark Knight for 7.0, even though we could do WITHOUT the Summon Pet mechanic and DoT field that does nothing else for 1-3 consolidated combos that do bigger bursts of damage and/or have other effects like applying debuffs like DoTs/damage penalty/vulnerability up/healing down/slow+heavy while also buffing the Dark Knight with an HoT/damage up besides Darkside/damage reduction/healing up/haste... and speaking of Darkside I would LOVE to turn on Darkside OUTSIDE of combat.

The duality of DRK players right here, hopeful vs hopeless

I pray for the best for us.
