Yoshi-p expressed that theme of PLD should be the designated MT and I think it's in a wonderful spot right now.

However, in my opinion they left out the thematics of DRK.

I think we can all agree that across all iterations of DRK we used it for damage. [So why is the FFXIVs DRK complex with little to no reward in dps?]

Our new mechanic is lame and tacked on. Our skills are lackluster and could have so much more potential.

Delete Delirium. Make Bloodspiller extend BW and BP. 100% uptime or just extending it would be amazing.

Delete Dark passenger. Add its DA potency to Quietus. 160 DA+Q 260 and silence 4xx in grit.

Blood Price needs a mechanic as well.
takes 10% chance that the next DA'd weapon skill deals critical damage.

Thematically PLD and DRK are supposed to be two polar opposites.
One boasts a stronger defensive MT kit while the other has a better offensive OT kit.
In terms of Mitigation...
MT kit: PLD≥ WAR > DRK
Damage
OT kit: DRK ≥ WAR > PLD
