Sorry for late reply just been busy playing the game lol. Right.

So let's break it down bit by bit.

AT LV30 is your newbie DRK skills. You'll have your standard Aggro Combo for keeping Aggro on you from 1 enemy. Hard Slash -> Spinning Slash -> Power slash. Use this to keep Aggro on one of your enemies.

Now Grit and Darkside.


Grit is your Tanking stance and if your new to tanking I recommend you keep this on at all times. What Grit dose is reduce the damage received and delt while also increasing the amount of Aggro you emit with each hit on the enemy.

Darkside increases your Damage by 15% but drains your MP slowly, if your MP hit 0 it will be removed. Try to keep this one during Battle but in between mobs switch it off. Your MP will still be drained even outside of battle so it's a good idea to turn it off so by the next set of mobs you'll have a better amount of MP recovered.

Unleash is your AOE Aggro skill, cost MP so about 2-3 tries should help keep the mobs on you.


Put your Bonus points into STR, one of the DRK skills Souleater will transmit damage delt from SE and convert 50% of it into HP for you and later on you'll get a trait that converts 100% of it into HP so more STR = more HP restore per SE. Not to mention you'll keep Aggro easier with more STR.

That's pretty much DRK but once you get to LV45 on wards you'll learn Dark Arts and this will change how you play DRK in a good way.
