The Definitive Dark Knight Guide

I like what you made. I once posted in a thread some months ago about MT DRK openers, and I got some flack for mentioning I like to use unmend>plunge>scourge for my pulls. You could check here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...er-as-mt/page6 , but the point is there was quite a bit of discussion against the use, either due to damage lost from being done in grit, or because it reduces distance the boss travels to the party at the start, resulting in a longer distance for the dps to travel to reach their target which translates into a lowered raid-wide dps. Thought it'd be interesting for you to check out to refine your opener, or if you disagree could you explain how your way could be better than the other thread's suggestions?

Then answer this; why do PLDs insist on using Tempered Will when Sophia is tilting the area? I ask because I witnessed many PLDs complain about the lack of dps at times.

The only reason PLD use Tempered Will in Sophia is for more personal DPS and if you push Sophia's HP at a certain phase (think it is 75%), She will cast Thunder II so Tempered Will eliminates people having vuln stack.

Lack of DPS in Sophia? Either your team is dying a lot or your whole DPS is just sleeping. I have never seen Sophia enraging when I have clean runs, heck there was this video 4man-ing Sophia.
