Boycotting Dark Knight

[Azerhan]

TiamatShadowScale and MagiusNecros said all.
Again, it's not just about spq or raid mitigation, it's about fun.
The DRK's 70's gameplay is not even interresting as the lvl 60 of the WAR and the PLD...
War is a game about counting Fell Cleave with all other abilities to raise your dps and your beast gauge, Pld is a game about a magic burst phase, a physical burst phase and a dot gestion, since Drk is just spamming DASE, using a "Blood" buff + Délirium when it's up and using Bloodspiller asap.
And if you are OT, you don't even have to think about well placing DA, since the potency gain is 140 whatever the attack you use... Yay.

Oh, I think I'm becoming salty about the DRK's case...

You’re definitely salty :-)
This a very reductive description of DRK.
DRK have total control on when to burst so we should be lining up our burst for every raid buff window.

Spamming fell cleaves isn’t more interesting...

You don't spam Fell Cleave in War. 7 FC is not a good idea at all. Most of the time is 4.
Yeah, it's a little reductive, but even our "burst" is not as good as the Pld or the War...

Neither is spamming DA lol DRK is loosing the race my friend especially when your dps is still really dependent on your resources which you don't get much of outside of grit....the class is just 3.0 PLD with a fancy tank buster shield....and don't forget about the games worse skill ever living dead which literally requires a WHM and can put stress on healers during high raid dmg

Not only is DRK straight boring but it's a liability and has less dps than both tanks while offering nothing that they can't already do....

I stop playing DRK except in dungeons, but not for some childish boycoting but simply because the other tank jobs are better. Just give time, they will do balance changes. We need a huge potency increase in the BS and we need Dark passeger back the way it was in 3.x

You call it childish I call it standing up for something. Sitting and hoping SE will do something hasn’t worked so far, if no one makes noise then there is nothing to change.

Judging by the amount of threads being posted I'm pretty certain we're at the point where they've been given time. I'm not childishly boycotting either, I'm just cancelling my sub because of this, the Shirogane stuff and the game of course feeling stale at the moment for me. That being said, I'm not really pleased with the lack of response to Dark Knights while literally every other job has been given at least an answer (monks for instance). They can take time but they also need to show they acknowledge us or else we can assume there will be no changes.

What’s wrong with people calling for a boycott? This is how most developers realize imbalance. Take destiny for example. When the taken king came outthey released a new subclasss that many people saw as overpowered. Bungie looked at the huge spike of people playing that class and they said “oh okay something needs to be done”.

No thread here has gotten any response from the developers. Allowing them to see a substantial drop in the usage of a class is the next logical step. And people only seem overly adamant about it cause they love the game and they love the class. Theyre just tired of being ignored. Like many people have said before all we want right now is just acknowledgement. A simple “ we hear you and we’re looking into it”

It's pretty reasonable to ask people to be calm about it, and I agree. In my case I'm feeling kind of burned but also bored so I'm taking a break until I feel like I'll enjoy my time here again and luckily though, the rest of our community seems pretty reasonable in this regard for the most part. That being said, it's important to also understand that as consumers, our money and value in a product is significant toward the devs and company backing them. The ones who are a little more vocal, are those who feel their years of investment both time and money being spat on, which obviously is not the dev's intentions. People get upset, and nothing can be done if know one speaks or knows why, so forums posts and game stats help here.
