SE... please (an honest DRK).

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

They are outliers, plain and simple, a good player is simply good. They know their job well and they will post outstanding times based on party comp, buffs and etc.
That does not make a job fun or playable, it does not make a job balance, it simply means that individual player is good enough to get past the job's shortcomings.

Your post parrots an anti-meta standpoint that at its core is detrimental to the discussion of how Dark Knight has been gutted and ignored.
One job does not carry a group, it never will, learn that well and don't make bold-faced inaccurate statements like that again.
