Dark Knight: 5.0x Feedback Thread

[RadicalPesto]

DRK got it's utility gutted, it's skills/sustain nerfed, why? "Cause spamming DA is too annoying and if i don't I lose DPS!"

But Stormblood Dark Knight was by far the worst tank in terms of utility and could not provide any form of protection for AoE damage (outside of the universal role skill Reprisal) until the introduction of Dark Missionary, and the one utility it had, which was casting TBN on other people, was buffed in this expansion.

Also the game is balanced for savage because savage and ultimate are the only content where balance actually matters. In content below savage a lot of utility skills, such as raidwide AoE mitigators, or healing boosts like Mantra, almost never make a difference because damage is so undertuned. Content with no enrage timers can effectively be cleared without any DPS players, and is in fact perfectly safe to do with a team of 6 tanks and 2 healers, which is why you really can't balance around it.
