Dark Knight: 5.0x Feedback Thread

And there's the common problem that everyone runs into... text does not translate emotion very well... at least not going into full role-play mode which is probably cringy to the point that no one wants to do it... so we have to make do with explanations through text which also don't translate emotions very well so we end up having to go full role-play mode which is probably like writing a book...

This will be my last comment on this as we are quite off topic, but if we assume that you are telling the truth and "text does not translate emotion very well". You took my comment at face value and called someone showing concern for your wellbeing stupid for doing so and that's pretty sad.

Going back on topic though, one suggestion that I might have is if they made the Darkside buff only happen from a dark arts FoS/EoS. This would delay our burst but it would make popping TBN more impactful as well as make it so that we actually have to work to keep up Darkside. They would probably need to do other tweaks b/c balancing it would be tricky but that might be something to look at.

That could potentially make Darkside impossible to keep up in some content or some situations. In a lot of content outside of savages at relevant iLvls, only busters really do enough damage to break TBN and even then sometimes only just barely. For example right now when I run Roulettes for tomes, boss busters and even some wall to wall pulls barely do enough damage to break TBN and sometimes just barely miss it by 1-2s. Add to that, that busters often aren't happening at a frequency of 30s or faster and you would be virtually guaranteeing that DRK would not be able to keep Darkside up in a lot of content and therefore drastically hurting the job's DPS potential in a lot of the game.
Not to mention that you would be pretty SoL if you DF queued into a raid and the other tank happens to be a DRK too since you can't stack TBNs.
It's just too problematic for debatably any gain whatsoever and wrests control of keeping Darkside up from the player and makes it contingent on the content.
