Dark Knight and the buffs that could make it better

[kiritolove27]

How I think Dark knight should be addressed. First make Dark Passenger cost no MP, with this simple change it will allow Dark Passenger to be used on single enemies making it a dps increase overall. Second give Dark Knight a new trait in which each blood action such as Delirium, Bloodspiller, and Quietus will drop 5 seconds off from your blood weapon cooldown. This change is similar to Warrior's Enhanced Infuriate trait and in my opinion would be a great buff to Drk's damage and fun factor. Third give Shadow wall a 20 second duration, this change is inspired by looking at all 3 tank's highest defensive cooldown. Since Vengeance 30% mitigation is 15 seconds and is the fastest of the three at a 2 minute cooldown, Sentinel 40% mitigation is 10 seconds and has a cooldown of 3 minutes, Shadow Wall 30% mitigation should have a 20 second duration because of its cooldown being the same as Sentinel's but with 10% less mitigation and it doesn't have a 55 potency per each hit like Vengeance.

-5 seconds from BW cd per usage of a blood skill? I want buffs, but that's a bit overkill. Maybe 2 seconds, tops. I can follow the increased duration of shadow wall, but why not take it further? PLD is the stereotypical wall tank, so more mitigation makes sense. WAR having the thorns effect makes sense, too, in that the 'hit me and I'll hit you back' mentality really works for them. Why waste this opportunity with a band-aid fix such as extended duration? Add something that is unique to the DRK, such as a small life-steal whenever the DRK is struck while SW is active.

lol on every DK thread ..Dark Passenger....(insert a meme of you're choice)...just give DK shadow skin back bring back scourge(with the same over time dmg as goring blade) give it something like veil/shake it off maybe a little dmg boost to his skill and boom problem solved ...yep DK dps will sky rocket if u could use Dark Passenger every 30s even with half the mp cost with this low potency.

I agree with you Lannybaby, an extra effect on Shadow wall that's unique to Drk would be nice. How does getting extra blood sound per hit? I still stand by my blood weapon cooldown reduction buff though, I think if they did that Drk would feel a lot more fluid and would encourage the usage of TBN without worries of it being a dps lost here or there.

Alright the reason everyone wants Dark Passenger to just be an OGCD is valid, it would also give Drk a boost in its fun factor because who doesn't like OGCDs. Bringing back scourge would be nice, the other two tanks already have buffs/debuffs that they need to manage such as War's storms eye and Pld's goring blade dot so I don't think giving Drk its dot again would create a negative response. Am I hopeful? Yes, but they took it away for a reason so its likely we won't see it again.
