If darkknight is so bad, how do they manage it?

I can accept skillstyle concerns, but dps wise drk is maybe statistically 5% lower than the other tanks, which got nerfed very slightly and drk buffed very very slightly. For me it works out even though it doesn't have to mean the classes are fun to play.

But balance is not about your fun factor...

DRK single target shield has a CD of 15s, there can be mechanics in future raids which make it more desirable. In old content mechanics existed that targeted random people with minitankbuster, with short time to shield both, if they would be more frequent then tbn will be nice to have.
Because tanks don't count for 50% of the DPS for the fight, that's why. Your post is just..ugh. A tank can be worse than the other two and still beat all the encounters, that's hardly the point is it? THe point is that Dark Knight is flat out worse than the other two tanks in every area. It literally has no strengths because guess what, paladin took that as well now with their ability to block magic damage. They have most of their abilities stripped away since Stormblood as well.
