What about creating an ACTUAL Dark Knight?

I don't trust any of you to play the current Dark Knight, let alone one that actively saps your own health.

You shouldn't trust a Dark Knight anyway lol

Probably because people on the forums that throw their ideas around or try to justify bad play are the ones asking for HP sacrificing when they can't even play a tank correctly to begin with.

Don't have to do much to tank correctly anymore with the way they handle enmity now. >_>

Because enmity was always required, if you didn't have threat before you were bad, it was a basic living requirement like breathing its not like it was hard before or some complex mechanic it was hitting your 1-2-3 threat combo, then the OT voke + shirks you and that was it.

Wouldn't mind a more dps heavy DRK like in XI.

You can't balance high risk high rewards. because people will eventually get good at taking those "risks" and it'll just be high rewards. Then DRK will become better than everybody else, and either get the nerf bat or become the mandatory meta.

Besides, anytime they do any sort of risk / reward people will complain anyway. Just look at TBN. BUT MY 500 POTENCY.

People have been complaining about TBN since its introduction. This is nothing new. In any case, they do have a valid argument. No other tank has to kick their own DPS out from under themselves.

Because TBN is no reward for a risk, only a punishment. You gain nothing by breaking it, you only keep your DPS neutral. Now, make the Dark Arts crit your next Flood/Edge on top of removing the mana cost, then you'd have a risk/reward skill.

Healers are going to hate the class if Square Enix does that

[Greyhawk]

You know, these "high-risk high-reward" tanky jobs that sacrifices their own HP to protect themselves or deliver strong blows?
That literally steals vitality from their foes to survive?
Makes shield out of their foes' blood?
That do ACTUAL DARK STUFF.

Does is speaks to anybody?
Or is that just me? '^'

Yeah, let me sacrifice my HP then just get slapped with a tankbuster move. /smart. It's a tank class, sacrificing HP to compete on the DPS scale is frankly absurd. I can see that if it were a DPS class... but it's not.
