Tank Balance

Drk is a mess this reason why never done one job quest to it past lvl 60 one and not leveled it any past 60.

If there's anything good about DRK this expansion, the story is it. The Job oozes just the right level of edginess and seriousness to make the WoL look like the "one person army" we are, and the DRK story itself just... it's [redacted] perfect. You owe it to yourself if you liked the level 50 quest to do the new quests.

Fray would have words with the dev team.

I am just sitting here waiting for blood weapon to be usable in grit stance, that would be all i need on drk.

DRK has the least number of skills out of all the tanks and yet also has the lowest mitigation toolset.

Without TBN we are looking at major flaws in the job.

All content lvl69 and below are a DRK's worst nightmare due to 4.0 being completely balanced around the job being at lvl70.

You know the job is in a rough state when the Japanese forum is 100+ pages of DRK feedback in 1 thread and they dont even listen to them or their concerns for the job.

They should just give Dark Mind the Shake It Off treatment and align Shadow Wall with Vengence. Boom. Instant fix.

Throw in a Dark Passenger fix and a lot of people would be pretty happy.

Except developers don't seem to use actual players to determine job ability stuff; they use mathematicians, and because they'll probably say "oh, the numbers for it seem just right for a stronger damage AE ability", I wouldn't expect them to change anything for it anytime soon.

What makes matters worse is that DRK as a tank is still more or less functional. Just because it can't perform at a "meta" level doesn't mean it's completely nonviable, and devs are going to use numbers to support that "oh, everything's fine" argument.

From their videos, they ride godmode...

I'm okay with dark knight getting the paladin 3.0 treatment by the community. For 95% of content, it really isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
