Dark Knight Megathread

[Zyvex]

Heard many people complain and meme about DRK being insanely squishy in dungeon content and other so I quickly leveled it to 100 to check for myself...

Three friends and I cleared all current expert dungeons with DRK tank + 3 DPS and 0 deaths first try...
For tanking extremes it's also fine, if you manage your TBN usage.

My conclusion is that DRK balance is in a pretty good spot and there are only minor tweaks needed.
1: DRK could use 1 more healing utility, nothing busted though, just a small extra comparable to aurora. The sustain already is fine.
2: TBN on non-pop should give the dark arts proc
3: Obvious bug fixes as the 1st point of the previous commentator mentions

I think DRK is extremely easy to pick up and play on the damaging side, but once it comes to actual tanking it's an extremely high skill for mid-rewards kinda job.

Also don't forget that WAR and PLD should not be considered as a measurement for Tank sustain. It's not "what it should be", it's more like those two jobs are massively overtuned in regards of self healing.
