Thread: Patch 3.05 up... NO DRK rework!

LEGIT

if it is the same way that they handled warriors what makes you think they would handle dark knights any differently?

so you know what

all of you people who whine more than you play the game, keep whining, keep spreading your bullshit like it's the bubonic plague. tell DRKs their class is not good enough to be played at endgame. continue to fail miserably at mechanics because group composition isn't what will be holding your groups back.

the easiest way to change a class in a game is to complain that it is not competitive and then prove that the entire game's community agrees that said class is just taking up space as dead weight.

Yes, this. There's no need to dramatize things. Every job manages in alex normal just fine.

Ideally? No. That's why they want feedback from challenging encounters.

At least things will function properly. I'll probably just dust off DRK a bit to farm Esoterics from Expert Roulette, just to mix things up, but I'll leave real tanking to WAR for now.

I've not leveled it yet but I read fast 4-man runs is DRKs (disappointing) current "specialization". AoE damage, AoE threat gen, AoE lifesteal, parry and evasion not being terrible on large groups of mobs, supposedly makes it pretty good.

You'd be right on that count. Although with most of the current 4-man content being doable without a tank stance, I imagine I could probably get better runs on WAR anyway.

Yeah two months of complete hell. Unless Alex Sav has some nasty magic attacking mobs / bosses then Drk is a bench warmer class. Much like Warrior 2.0 was, not quite as bad but in the current state of where both tanks just outshine Drk, so yeah its just like 2.0 lol.

Good luck getting there, as floors 1-3 are quite Phy heavy. So yeah Drk gets one floor, but you better be geared. To get this gear you need to clear other floors, if your lucky enough to have a group suffer a gimp tank to that point. Kudos to that squad!

They could always have you run as an off tank for those floors... I mean, as a joke or something. Or you could just level a good tank.
