Seriously though, maybe something will come up later and change your life so it can go back to DRK. At least you took time to go back and find the other threads. Good job. You've made a difference here. Now...I can sleep easy.

DRK was my sub all during HW, but know, just because the gameplay (if the gameplay of the DRK were cool, as it was in HW, I would play it even if his dps was 500 lower than the PLD) I stopped play it.
WAR is far better in that point, even at level 60.
I love this game, but what did they've done to the DRK and the MCH? Was my two mains rofl

Loved it in heavenswsrd but completely ditched the job in stormblood. Here's hoping we get some kind of dev response.
Ps. Would love scourge and old delirium back :3
I definitely demand Scourge back. There are literally zero reasons to have taken it away, it was potent and fun to use. That would be a huge step towards a nice fix for me, and it's easy as heck to put it back.

I, too, want Scourge back, but instead of a dot, I'm thinking it could combo off Syphon Strike like old Delirium and maybe fill your blood gauge faster. Not only does that help with Dark Knight's low DPS by allowing for more Bloodspillers, but adds a much needed alternative to spamming Souleater.

I liked old Scourge because it wasn't behind a combo; it was great for multi-dotting stuff quick. I don't really think a combo DOT like Goring would be all that great for DRK's current playstyle since they break up their three step combos with Bloodspiller/Quietus, and the nature of a DOT that's on GCD is that you want predictability. Delaying your three-step combo with 1 or 2 Bloodspillers could lead to potentially dropping the DOT (or capping on blood to put the DOT up) depending on the situation.
Whereas if they made Scourge not disrupt the combo and be a standalone DOT like old Touch of Death it could work, but they aren't going to go back to non-combo DOTs for most jobs, I feel.

War was my main since 2.0 but during the shake it off BS, switched to dark knight and now I enjoy its power charging through dark arts play style more than being a fel cleave cannon. Problem is... Well dark knight is terrible in comparison to war so I've been picking war for all current content until DRK gets some love. Its not even about boycotting, its about bringing the class that is obviously a ton better, practically a nobrainer.
I'm with you guys. The class have the lower DPS in tanks and the lower utility (now with WAR buff).
This job was not supposed to be something between PLD and WAR?
How about a Dark Arts + TBN for raid mitigation? Just that should help a lot.
How the let PLD, with 4 or 5 utility skills do more damage than DRK?
I keep playing with DRK because I like the class a lot, but It's totally understandable if people want to drop.
I kinda believe that SE is aware of the feedbacks. And I still believe that they ARE working on it. But if memory serves, it is very difficult to find a measure of balance between classes, especially tank classes. I did play DRK myself until 60 in Heavensward. Great class, I'll give you that. Yet my main and favorite will remain PLD. If I'm not wrong, PLD during Heavensward had been more or less deserted for the benefit of DRK and WAR. That might a reason on Stormblood for the rising of PLD. Now all I can say would be hang on guys for they know your frustration but SE saying just WE ARE WORKING ON IT would add more fuel on the fire than the silence itself. It's tough but having failed once in the past on FF14 before a Realm Reborn, I want to believe they are more caring to the players communities and their expectations.
Tbh while drk has some issues I still prefer it more than warrior personally
