    How do I use dark knight in PvP (4v4 and 8v8, Feast and Fold)

    Obviously I'm doing something wrong but I seriously have no idea how Dark knights have a good use in these modes besides a 1/4 dps and 3/4 tank. Most i can do is annoy the hell out of some caster and withstand some magic damage. Any tips?

    Canal Chill / Tar Pit peels for your healer. Delirium debuffs casters.

    Other than that you have pretty decent burst with Carve and Spit. Full Swing helping your dps burst down a target. Other than that not really much. Adding a slow or something to Salted Earth would be nice.

    I haven't seen any outstanding DRKs yet. Most I see just sit on healers all day.

    Lack of KB makes DRK kinda meh for my taste, Tar Pit and its heavy is cool but other than than they really dont have any neat support/utility. Plunge could use 1-2s stun component as its too easy to f..k it up by jumping/sprinting, also they lack proper self-heal outside of Grit and even that sucks compared to Clemency/Equilibrium/Thrills thus it makes them feel alot more squishier.

    Would love to play PvP as an DRK but atm i just see no point if you have access to PLD or WAR ;__;

    One thing I have noticed is that healers seem to forget that DRKs have ranged attacks. It is the only bonus to DRK I have found. Really it comes down to not having the utility of a PLD or the damage of a War... Doesn't help that so much of how Drk functions requires you to be getting hit.

    Now that you mentioned this maybe DRK should really start to hoard ALOT of those medals so everyone wants to kill him :P

    DRK is useless in Feast. Period.

    This is not the fault of the DRK, but SEs for not adjusting the skills for all classes for PVP.
