Dark Knight changes needed

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Here s what i suggest:

- carve and spit potency is now 1050.
- DA/SE now returns 50% of your total HP while in Grit.
- AP scales from armor defense (1 armor defense = 0.75 AP)
- Dark Knight only.

On a more serious note none of these changes you propose are actually needed.

I could only see something revolving around Reprisal not being used as OT, such as

- "Scourge: if not under the effect of Grit, each tick has a 5% possibilty to proc reprisal".
5% or 2% or whatever depending on the DPS balance.

Same thing than BLMs thundercloud. Would give some debuff flavour to our job as OT without breaking the balance. slight DPS increase as well. Good DRKs will be able to catch the proc on the fly: nice for the gameplay. Also i see a lot of DRKs not using scourge so this could be a nice incentive.

If I had my way i'd redesign Dark Knight to be more like Shadowknight's/Necromancer's from Everquest and be completely DOT/Lifetap based and have their own flavor, literally surviving through lifetaps and damage over time abilites mostly.

However with the way the developers do their updates, I can only suggest small little changes like the ones on the first page.

Making Grit 15% from 20% makes sense, it gives DRKs a little help in the DPS Department and secures their future, they were NOT OP like Warriors were before. It also makes sense because they did it for Paladin, in my opinion tanks dps should not be designed around something like this, its a total bummer.

Making Darkside 15% whilst in Grit is SUPER minor, a literal 2% difference.

Making Darkarts 2/3 mana on the other hand, is a huge buff. However, I find myself just ignoring Dark Arts on several abilities because it costs so much, so you use it for SE/Dark Mind mostly.

That is why I made this heated seeded discussion.
