The Definitive Dark Knight Guide

[Marxam]

The only thing I would macro is Living Dead but since conditionals aren't in this game (or atleast I don't think it is) I have to set two buttons. One warning the party I used the skill to stop healing me and another to countdown how long the healers have before I need to be topped up.

lvl 55 DRK atm and all I can say is parry might be considered bis secondary stat when you consider the procs that it triggers, Low Blow (timer reset) and Reprisal. Also put all points into STR as you have good defensive cooldowns and most are on 60 seconds timers.

1. Shadowskin = Rampart
2. Dark Dance a very weak version of Keen Flurry but also has featherfoot (20% evasion) effect with DA
3. Darkmind + DA is 30% magic defense for 10 seconds every 60 seconds
4. Shadow wall = Vengeance minus the deflection damage.

I think Parry might be considered BIS as a mt for drk simply because you need all the vit/parry/defense you can get because SE ain't giving you any.

IMO in no situation is the MP cost of Dark Art's justified for Dark Dance's +Evasion. A waste. Dodging means no Blood Price returns, and using that Dark Arts instead for Dark Passenger will Blind opponents but also deal damage (hate and deeps <3).

Parry stat secondary is slightly marginalized by Dark Dance CD and Reprisal's 30 second recast. Low Blow refresh is nice though

Soul Eater (DS 240)
Soul Eater Darkside: 640 potency

What are those numbers ?

The 240 potency is when Souleater is used on its own with Dark Arts, it has nothing to do with Darkside or in a combo.
Basically, Dark Arts adds 140 potency to Souleater.

4. The naked SE rotation is also for heals and has a higher potency than the DS rotation above, but this means no DS. This rotation should rarely be used, if ever.

So this doesn't exists at all

Question, is Souleater not meant to restore HP if Grit isn't turned on?

I've been noticing I don't restore anything and IDK if it's bug or intended. (Sorry probably stupid question but it doesn't mention anything about it needing to be in Grit stance in the tooltip.)

Too much negation in this sentence

Souleater gives HP back only when Grit is activated.

[blackcitadel9]

I thought it did specifically say in Souleater's tooltip that Grit needs to be on.

It does. For HP Returns.

Wow. Big oops there, thanks for the catch. I misread the tooltip and mistook Darkside for Dark Arts. That 240 potency is a non-combo Dark Arts Soul Eater. That eliminates the described rotation you quoted. Good catch!
