Dark Knight Megathread

[Duskane]

4.3 was pretty crazy for DRK huge buff to power slash,dark mind was 30% magic mit,less MP cost on grit and sole survivor was now usable in boss fights.
also speaking of old skills they 100% should have axed delirium for dark side animation wise ill miss blood weapon but if it upgraded into darkside it would have been cool and honestly more fitting than delirium stunt actor gut punched animation

My absolute favourite was when they buffed delirium to have 80s CD to align with every 2nd Bloodweapon, which gave us 47.5% uptime on the Haste buff.

Hey remember when speed on DRK genuinely influenced their damage by generating more MP under BW? CRAZY times.

...all they had to do was x1.5 Dark Arts cost and potency gain and all tbe "spamminess" wouldve been done for...

The things I would give to have DRK speed tank again...

I just remember the big push with everyone to make blood weapon have charges and I just kinda sat here thinking. "y'know, the haste buff it used to have would really help with that too.." but alas.

We really have come a long way that we have quite a number of players miss Stormblood DRK, huh.

8.0, surely. :copium:

Remember patch 4.3 DRK? Those were good times...

Pepperidge farm remembers, I miss old HW and SB DRK I would take those over the soulless, basic, interpretation of what ShB > EW > DT DRK is.

As much as I am not fond of HW DRK... I take it over ShB+ DRK. Between Scourge management, parry engine, Blood Price abuse and MP management this is probably my 2nd fav rendition.

Let’s be honest here. When I saw the job trailer what got me hyped the most was the fukking dash that drk and gnb got. The rest was sleeper. It’s still gonna be 123 until 1 and 2 minutes and you don’t even have to safe 50 blood gauge for shadow, now it’s a button you press on cooldown without any consequences, can’t wait for tbn to do the same. At least gnb has continuation combo every 30 seconds.

From a purely aesthetic point, the loss of plunge and blood weapon is really not helping me want to play drk in dawntrail. Disregarding wanting to use gap closers in burst for more damage, to me plunge just looks way cooler than the new *teleports in front of you. "nothing personnel, kid"* one. As for blood weapon, putting the great big rune along the greatsword appeals to me. Delirium just doesn't convey the same weight.

Entirely subjective of course.

Wait you don't have to have 50 blood gauge for shadow?!? I didn't even notice this.

feels like they're just making gauges purposely a spender for one thing now.

They had to make Dark Knight catch up to Warrior in how brainless it is after all.
Waiting for 8.0 where Delirium just gives you 4 free uses of Edge of Shadow so you all you ever need to think about is pressing that knock-off Inner Release button to get all your damage for free...you know, like Warrior.
