DRK help

[Hierro]

How to play DRK:
1. Play WAR or PLD instead

Okay okay, in all seriousness.
1. Save plunge for when someone uses a bind or push back
2. Use DA SE in succession for when you're focusing a target down.
3. Only use low blow to interrupt a cast
4. Make use of your PvP skills
5. Lay down salted earth on enemy team's AoEs. People feel (unjustifiably) pressured, so they're more likely to get off them.
6. Keep grit off at all times, except for when you have a ton of medals, but that shouldn't be happening anyways.

As DRK, when you're going to focus a target down, always start with Heavy Swing, DA C&S with DP, in the middle of a delirium combo, then follow with DA SE. You could use tar pit and carnal chill for more burst, but you'd be playing all your cards at that point leaving you with nothing else for a good while. Don't bother with scourge since the name of the game is burst, and every GCD counts when you're trying to burst a target down before a healer undoes all your effort.

Keep in mind, despite all this you won't contribute as much as WAR or PLD. Assuming everything's equal and optimal, the team with DRK is more likely to lose. Still, if you have nothing else to work with, this is your best shot. Everything else comes down to player experience and skill. Learn enemy skills and know when you're wasting time on a target to switch to something else. Know when to apply pressure to another target to make the healer choose between targets. there are also more things to know, but they cannot be explained in words. PvP more often above all and always try to think critically of why you lost and how YOU contributed to that loss and how you can improve.
