The Definitive Dark Knight Guide

[Giantbane]

Beyond that, tanks haven't been able to dodge anything in any turn of BCOB yet, featherfoot or not. If Alexander is the same the evasion is completely useless. In that case, they need to change something up there.

All told, though, I think the DRK has a pretty decent CD suite. As a Main tank having Reprisal + Storms Path from a War OT up could be amazing.

I think they're missing one strong mitigation tool vs. physical (20%ish, ~2min cooldown). If dark arts + dark dance provided flat physical reduction instead of evasion, or made the parry rate much higher (70-100%) for the duration, such that you could count on parrying incoming damage moves, then this would be sufficient.

Other than that, there are only a few minor nuisances with the class so far. Reprisal's cooldown vs. effect duration. Salted earth as a ground target. And the darkside effect is really fugly.

Well, I guess it's also a concern that there doesn't seem to be much OT utility for the DRK. PLD has heals, stoneskin, + rage of halone debuff. WAR has storm's path/storm's eye. DRK only has delerium, which is completely useless if there's a MNK in the party.
