Dark Knight changes needed

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Grit:
Lower damage penalty from 20% to 15%.
(Don't see why Paladin's get a better version of this skill.)

Darkside:
Darkside now properly increases damage by 15%.
(17.25% whilst in Grit, or tooltip fixed to actually direct what it does whilst using Tank Stance.)

Blood Weapon:
Make it be able to be used outside of Grit.

So you want to make DRK a less effective tank when tanks are actually taking massive damage again?

Not sure if trying to nerf DRK or boost PLD.

Grit:
Grit now lower's damage dealt from 20% to 15%.

The proposed idea was lowering the damage penalty the player receives on his/her attacks with Grit on.

Yes because what drk is missing is mt dps.

/sarcasm

[Syzygian]

I can't DRK

Not you again. At a crappy time when all tanks have been nerfed and we got a bunch of changes that were and were not needed at the same time, the last thing we need is people like you giving a bad name to folks discussing tank/raid balance.

Paladin actually needed it.... might as well bringg warrior's down then too.

Hmm...

But really, didn't PLD JUST receive the same change the OP is mentioning?

Edit: Aww, posted before me...Shame xD

[Yawnie]

Aaaaan it begins. Again.

Why would DRK even need this change?
Their DPS is fine the way it is.
Also Dark Arts mana cost shouldn't be reduced (its DRK for a reason) since you can get all your mana back instantly with the abilities given to you already.
DRK utility revolves around mana usage.
DRK in every FF game has had to sacrafice a lot of something in order to compensate.
No changes are necessary.
