Core Issues With 4.x Dark Knight

[Chrono_Rising]

I could tell there was something wrong with DRK as soon as I started levelling it. The Blood Gauge felt extremely pointless when unlocked, due to Delirium being the skill it's unlocked for, and that having a much longer cooldown than the time it took to reach 50 blood.

I can get it as far through savage content as I can my warrior, but it definitely feels crippled and unintuitive.

Yeah my initial feel was that my hot bar was barren. In particular losing all those free oGCD means we were left only with skills we would need to pay for in order to cause damage. We have to give up damage to do damage, and SE seems to have forgotten this a number of times when they tuned our skills.

Made a thread highlighting a very specific flavor of problem with DRK http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...tional-Effects

Covers a lot of things, and DPS/Mitigation would be largely fixed if these points were addressed.

SE needs to realize that jumping through flaming hoops while rubbing our bellies/patting our heads and solving the Hellraiser puzzle every time we want to access beneficial effects on our mitigation/sustain and/or DPS cooldowns is not something we are going to enjoy if we are going to be the weakest tank in those regards even if we succeed at their little game.

I was literally on my way to post your thread here. Scary.
