DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Starkbeaumont]

PLD has Sentinel, Sheltron, Bulwark and Passage of Arms. Bulwark and PoA can't be combined with Sheltron as all block damage. Bulwark is ok for dungeon pulls but has a long CD. it's crap for single target/raids. How is that solid without cross class?

Also Sizzle, if you want balance you should care as much about the other tanks as you do about DRK.

Should take a look at Shadow Wall compared to Sentinel which is the same skill but weaker, and we don't have a Bulwark skill. TBN is the Sheltron/Intervention of the job (Oath vs Mana more or less) so that balances them out. We don't have any other physical mitigation after that outside of role skills. No Divine Veil or Passage of Arms. Our CD kit is basically 2 skills and a "???" with Dark Mind varying in use level dependent on encounter. Throw in the shield mitigation AND doing more damage than us with more mitigation/utility and you're left with "???". Edit: Oh yeah there's that whole Hallowed Ground vs Living Dead thingy too.

You really can't argue that Dark Knights are not more dependent on role skills to mitigate damage.

Thread title is Dark Knight feedback not a balance thread on all three tanks, seems fair to give mostly Dark Knight feedback in the Dark Knight thread.

Why do people always forget that Cover is also a CD? Just because it functions a bit differently doesn't change what it is. I mean, so the other tank has to have hate, big deal. It's still a self-mitigation CD equal to Rampart.

maybe cause a tank swap would basically do the same. especially with shirk available.

Hi. First time posting.

Just wanted to contribute with my ideas as Dark knight too.

My main problem is with Living dead, which is a very dangerous skill that can make the healers think "I made it", stop healing when you get over half, and then see you die to nothing.
I think that would be partially solved by increasing the timer to 12s and giving every skill the Dark arts effect under those 12 seconds, which would effectively increase the self heal and the solo usability, along with some DPS problems.
Also, changing the players name in the party screen to pitch black with a grey or white HP bar, would effectively tell the healers that Walking dead is still under effect.
