Thread: Dark Knight moving forward: Job change ideas for 6.0

I like all of the changes pre-lvl 80. I still think the change to AD outlined in your previous post is necessary; When the loss of soul survivor is added to the mix it seems especially important to revisit AD. That being said, I’m not a fan of the dark arts DHCrits mechanics. I’d much rather the potencies be factored into the build in other places - maybe scourge?

Delirium... I’d be more willing to go down the road (not exactly) of continuation than IR. And if warrior gets a rework away from internal release and DRK gets stuck with it next expansion I will loss my shit. Please don’t do it SE.

If we want another combo path, we have to figure out what it can be used for. Our damage buff is already tied to our two new oGCDs so what would a second combo be used for? I wouldn't mind if we just got our dot back. The combo paths we had in HW were perfect because you just went into syphon strike>delirium when you didn't have enough mana to dark arts soul eater (I miss it so much).

To be honest, I just want more buttons to press. HW was fun and chaotic, SB was repetitive, Shadowbringers is fun for the opener, but then just becomes a slow slog afterward.

I know it’s off topic but if I could get some QoL for this expansion... hammer out what want to do with bw. I’m really confused by how difficult the 5gcd is to get to for BW. Is SE telling me they envisioned DRK to be a skill speed build? If that’s the case then make the aoes wpn skills instead of spells so they can benefit otherwise it’s an unfair gimp specific to DRK. If a skill speed DRK build was not the preplanned direction then allow for bw to get to the 5th gcd no matter Where in the ogcd it is used. Seems an easy fix.

I love the idea for abyssal drain put forth by the op in the previous posting. Kill salted earth. The macro doesn’t go off half the time no matter how I write it anyway. DRK has good mitigation, outside of being the only class that has a damage specific cd (non aoe), but it’s self sustain kit is crap outside of one use on a Wall to wall pull. And that 1 ad is all your getting since the recast is so long. If you get it back you might as well hold it till the next round since you need at least 6 to be on par with the other 1200 pot heals. Leave the heal on soul eater as is. It’s so subtle anyway.

Fix LD as mentioned above.

Those three things aren’t game breaking and I will be a satisfied customer this expansion.
