@Renault : Rice pretty much replied exactly how I would have . I would like to note however that I will change the tiers accordingly if proof can be presented for the change, or if classes receive any valuable nerfs or buffs in two weeks. I think Rice already mentioned the point of this tier list. If I were to say make a Tier list for every situation that wouldn't really do much. As for "stomping new players" any job is fully capable of that dependent on the player.

However as rice said we assume the players are all as skilled as possible with their jobs.

The other thing I'd like to say is involving Dark Knight. Since no one has yet said DRK didn't belong in the lowest tier of jobs.

Dark Knight is just not a good job. In fact Dark Knight is probably the worst job in PVP. You're right, Dark Knight lacks CC and utility. It also lacks damage to make up for where it lacks, is worse at self sustaining itself than either PLD or WAR. In fact Dark Knight is hardly capable of sustaining itself at all.

Dark Knight also loses mana the more the fight goes on, will hardly get any returns on blood price, and actively can not carry medals and use blood weapon without dropping its mitigation (the main thing making a tank better at carrying medals).

Dark Knight has these benefits,

Delirium, Dark Mind, 20% Damage Penalty every 90 seconds, One short Stun every 25 seconds, Damage Bonus in Dark Side without grit, Dark Arts Dark Dance + Awareness. Heavy every 2 minutes.

However Low blow can only reset on you being hit, Realistically you'll only see this happen if you're last alive, the medal carrier, or a kill target. This means your Stun isn't reliable enough to lock anyone down. it can only be used for one interruption every 25 seconds.

Dark Knight has worse CC than almost every DPS, Tank, and Healer.

The utility dark knight does have that is good, like Full Swing is already present on the other tanks, while those tanks also have better burst tools, utility tools, and Crowd controls than Dark Knight has.

Dark Knight has better burst than paladin but honestly that burst doesn't mean very much, especially when it's dependent on a resource which drains throughout the battle and can not be reliably kept up.

I don't want to be blunt but, having a Dark Knight ,(instead of a Paladin or Warrior )on your team is practically detrimental to success.

As Dark Knight can not function properly in the meta. It is D tier. Before the interruption buff to casting I'd say it was C-Tier, however now? It's literally the worst job in the game for PVP.
