Dark Knight Megathread

Ah another shadowbringer style enjoyer. Nevermind.

I wouldn't mind a rework, I just don't want Dark Arts back. I hated the Dark Arts animation.

Do you realize that the only two things you could spend with more mp are more edge and tbn?

I don't think Abyssal Drain GCD and Dark Arts are coming back.

But I dont hate Edge of Shadow, and I think its functionally very similar to using DA to buff a GCD.

And we wonder why it kept getting worse when you grew accustomed to the low standard and you would rather ask for low standard adjustment and be content with it. More please we need more people like this so dev could officially always give us a low standard drk gameplay.

It doesn't really matter what you ask for, the XIV dev team ignores feedback from this forum, even on the JP side.

The only feedback they care about comes from streamers.

Nope we got 5 stacks bw because player request. We got LD (rushed rework) because player request. We also got this delirium change because people request it. Don't try to shift the responsibility.

DRK is suffering from WAR success

DRK is suffering from WAR success

drk just suffering from lack of vision. WAR had a clear vision from the start and instead of constantly reworking they just built upon, and tweaked things to stay within that. DRK on the other hand has about as much reworks as SMN. Idk how they did it but they made a 3-part combo in delirium feel less impactful than WAR FC spam. There's something to the direction of DRK and I don't like it. I think this perfectly summarize the duality of DRK players;

3.0-4.0 DRK = Berserk 1998
5.0-6.0 DRK = Berserk 2016

I would say DRK in DT is like berserk but they removed plunge. If only they could make enhanced unmend proc plunge so you have a damaging gap closer after using a ranged attack but sadly I don't think such a thing can be implemented in game.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought they crapped the bed on DRK. I was told "you shouldn't drop a class that you put time into."
My response to that is, "yeah, however, not if the game and devs are actively working against you."
Some may not agree with me, but I loved doing DRK opener in EW. The adrenaline of just doing like a 30 hit combo felt great to me.
Seeing as how I was more actively involved (looking at you new delirium) in pulling it off, "well its just one button." who cares, I pressed it, and the game didn't automatically do it for me.
We have become an even worst version of WAR nao.
