DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Kowen]

Thank you to Chrono and others for being so adamant with their Dark Knight feedback! I really hope the devs eventually take note of all these complaints.
Here are some of my own suggestions.


DRK has a handful of skills that are underwhelming or have little-to-no impact.
Dark Passenger

• Increase the potency, or reduce the MP cost to make it worth using.
• Change the blind effect to something that doesn't contradict Blood Price.

Sole Survivor

• Reduce the cooldown or buff restoration. Currently it doesn't even give enough MP for 1 Dark Arts...
• Give the skill a new effect (like PVP's damage taken debuff) to give it utility outside of trash pulls.

Delirium

• Reduce the cooldown, or remove the blood gauge cost.
• Give it an entirely new effect to make it worth the long cooldown and 50 blood.

DRK is too reliant on the Soul Eater combo.

• Have Power Slash increase the blood gauge as well so that we aren't punished so much for using our enmity combo.
• Stop balancing DRK's DPS by increasing Soul Eater's potency - increase the potency of Bloodspiller or oGCDs instead.

Too many of DRK's core skills are unlocked at 62+, making it a slog to level up or play in 50 and 60 capped content.

• Change the order we unlock some of our skills.
• Let us unlock some of the blood gauge skills, like Bloodspiller, by level 50 and 60.

DRK's defensive cooldown suite is lacking compared to the other tanks, especially pre-70.

• Increase the duration of Shadow Wall.
• Add some kind of mitigation effect to Blood Price.
• Change the Dark Arts + Dark Mind effect to something stronger or with more utility (party-wide AoE??). TBN makes its current effect redundant.
