Dark Knight follow up thread

[Awful]

So far I have not been convinced as to why you would bring a DRK over PLD, WAR, or GNB in terms of either main tank or off tank, because DRK cannot carry the group from wiping to a boss because healer died, even though GNB also has this problem as well, you are better off taking any of the other tanks over DRK in dungeons.


The Blackest Night is a good shield yes, but as a DPS tool you are better not having a gimmick on it if it's just DPS neutral or loss.


And I see no reason to run double DRK because how bad Living Dead is because you waste resources just to get DRK up to full HP and you NEED TO GET DRK TO FULL HP OR THEY DIE WITH WALKING DEAD.


Dark Mind is worse than Rampart just because it only reduces magic damage taken since the number of tankbusters is half physical and half magical.


Darkside has the same problems that it had in Heavensward which I understand why people liked it but now it's way worse because you can't prep Darkside outside of combat and you might as well be taking MNK over DRK.


DRK is for those players who just hate people in general and do not want to take responsibility for any slip ups they did and just make other peoples lives just as miserable as they are.


And I hate to say it but if they do want to make DRK fun they need to retcon the DRK story quests.


But alternatively they could just not retcon the lore and make it fun, lore be damned.

The only things I agree with this post is Dark Mind and Living Dead, they are the 2 worst CDs in the game, one is situational the other is a resource void, all they have to do is make Dark Mind 10-15% all dmg like HoS/RI and it'd be good and make LD 50% of your HP not 100%. As for TBN it has its uses in dungeons and Titania/Innocence adds as TBN lines up very well with them and give you a neutral DPS additive, should TBN be tied to tank resources? No, and it shows on DRK as well that you shouldn't tie your CDs with dmg resources and hopefully that address that.

As for the rest I just don't agree, I haven't met any crappy DRKs in the world I've met crappy people and bad tanks that don't know how to hit their buttons and either can't tank, mitigate, or do terrible DPS. I don't think DRK story quests needs to be retconned that makes no sense whatsoever DRK is one of the best storylines in the game and ShB story was also influenced by said same person who made the DRK story, I personally love their work.

I'd rather take a good DRK that knows how to play their class, does what needs to be done, and is a positive person to be around than any other tank that doesn't take accountability for their own performances, I feel like this point that you made about how you dislike a DRK player is you're putting your own biases instead of the person just simply not being good.
