The completely REASONABLE changes to the Dark Knight job thread

[ZodiacSoldier]

Nobody is arguing about the ability to tank trash. Everyone is worried about boss fights.

Parry reduces damage taken by 20%. If you've got a 100% chance to parry the boss your tanking for for 20s, then how is that not essentially equivalent to 20s of 20% Physical DR?

Ok I see your point about it being a 20% physical DR for 20s, but Rampart and Shadowskin are still better CD since they give 20% reduction to all damage sources and on top of that they still have the chance to Parry normally.

I guess they can consider giving DRK a 30 sec cooldown that parry the next attack as a possible mitigation.

But you also have to consider the whole balancing issues. Currently WAR does the most DPS as a tank, PLD has the most mitigation and DRK is in between. If you want DRK to have as much mitigation as a PLD, they will have to nerf their DPS to be the same as PLD.
