Fixing Dark Knight, Properly

not on damage.

DPS balance has nothing to do with this weaponskill or that buff. Its about the job and its kit as a whole. This isn't an argument worth having as there is ample evidence to the contrary on FFlogs, and not just on the max-tier padded runs, I'm talking from 100th percentile all the way down to 20th. Only at the most abysmally low levels of play do you see DRKs out-DPSing or even breaking even with the other tanks, likely due to players at that level doing things like using FoF on Holy Spirit instead of Requiescat, or hitting Fell Cleave every time they hit 50 Beast Gauge/paying no attention to Inner Release, etc. DPS statistics are low, but usage statistics are also low, which indicates there isn't a non-DPS incentive to bring DRK for a lot of people either.

This premise of "hey DRK's DPS isn't bad because these abilities have high potency" can't possibly be taken seriously.
