No, seriously. I don't how a copy-pasted job from WAR - which is already bland - with some semi-magick Shinten shenanigans can even be considered "fine"?! Don't encourage the devs to repeat such abominations!

Dark Knight is fine.

That would be true if... it wasn't a fast-paced, hectic class with MP resource management. There once was a job with these aspects and it was called HW DRK.

Our current Dark Knight iteration is balanced, indeed. But it lacks essence and style. What used to be its own weight in this game was exchanged for a Warrior knockoff with an inferior Inner Release window, aka. Delirium. Bloodspiller and Quietus were never intended to be used in the same fashion as Fell Cleave and Decimate. Edge of Shadow and Flood of Shadow are also boring to use. Living Shadow is a glorified DoT with no interaction, a lazy attempt to downplay the misshandling of 5.0 DRK. Players were frustrated with Dark Arts back in 4.0, however I have never seen or heard that anyone wanted DRK to be like Warrior. Not even once.

Enjoying its current iteration is fine. Opinions differ but I've been playing this rework roughly since the start of ShB and god I have never been this bored. This job just screams lazy to me, like the developers think I'm so dumb and brainless I can't even manage a DoT. Just because the DRK threads are silent as of late doesn't mean we stopped having faith in a rework. Everyone has a favourite job/class in this game and for me it's DRK. So yes, this is a big deal to me and I refuse to see the logic in having a rip-off when Warrior is just as viable.
