Tanking with style

[shao32]

Can someone do a compensation between hw drk and shb drk? Or just link a video explaining the key differences?

here is a guide of the job then back in HWhttps://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...k-Knight-Guide

to make a resume DRK was a tactical job with sustained dps, back then DRK generate way more MP and his APM (actions per minute) was way higher with blood weapon uptime being more bigger and ofering a skill speed buff.

the job work witha priority system on both his MP usage and his GCD usage, on MP was:

1º dark arts + carve and spit
2º dark passenger
3º dark arts + soul eater

and for his GCD considering the MP one first was:

1º dark arts + soul eater
2º if not enough MP for dark arts + soul eater then delirium

darkside use to consume your MP by ticks when activated making his MP management constant and dinamic and on top of all that DRK have the parry mechanics, if DRK parry an attack have the chance to reset low blow and reprisal amking it alwyas being in the MT spot.

it use to have scourge wich was a dot that you always keep on apart of salted heart, in resume DRK use to have 2 combos, 2 priority systems on resources usage manipulating his GCD, a dot to manage and parry mechanics all in a constant management of his resources to never run out of MP or darkside will fade off or overcap it, very dinamic and very DRK theme for no mention his aoe rotation was so satisfactory.

correct me someone if i miss something.
