So it seems to me that the reason this happened is to offset the GNB Buffs, as GNB got a hefty dps buff with the reduction of Double Down's Cost, Dark Knight is often put into the same category as GNB as "damage tank" so I imagine thats why.
DRK also had an abysmal turnout in terms of usage rate in week 1 of the savage tier, which is the only metric they balance around.

Is this going to cause balance problems for FRU and leave WAR and PLD in the dust? Yeah probably.
