Dark Knight Megathread

I just love how on the definitive changes they didn't actually care at all about blood weapon before release that they even nerfed DRK self healing capabilitys on single target by making Abyssal drain sharing recast with carve and spit.
I mean I didn't expect reaching even lower ends but they amaze me more and more every day, I would love to say this is bcs they are restructuring the job complety but I would be really stupid to hold any hope for it.

AD sharing a cooldown with C&S is cracking me up

It's honestly really funny. It's such a middle finger move. It shows that they're aware the class has huge playability problems during burst windows, but that they absolutely are not willing to do more than the absolute bare minimum to make it technically playable.

It would make a ton, a ton of sense if CnS now had a decent self-heal to it. It really should, what possible reason is there for DRK lose all of its self-sustain cooldown against single target? Just why.

So...it's as I feared and basically nothing changed from the media tour.

I have a really hard time imagining that Oblation and Blackest Night are going to be enough to let them stack up to the other tanks with how insanely loaded their short mitigations are now.

The recast timer for Flood/Edge of Shadow has been reduced from 2 seconds to 1 second. Does this mean DRK can now double weave Flood/Edge with itself?

What is this, World of Warcraft's Warlock?

This is actually so scuffed

I think it's pretty clear at this point that they just don't like the idea of DRK healing itself.
Abyssal Drain gains the MP recover from Carve & Spit, while Carve & Spit doesn't get the HP recover from Abyssal Drain.

Why does it seems like it's taboo for a DRK to heal itself ?
Also, for non-dungeon content, DRK just lost their only skill outside of Soul Eater to heal themselves. Because let's be real, in raids nowadays, there's not a single situation where you actually fight 4 adds or more.

I start to believe they do read the forums, and everytime we complain about issue about DRK, rather than adressing them, or make a step in that direction, they intentionnally take a step backward.

I'd rather not search for how many time the Blood Weapon issue has been called out since the media tour build, but i'm pretty sure 80% of the posts since then talk about how it should have been adressed ( wich ... was not )

I guess DRK is only a matter of living under frustration, " Hopes & Dreams " situation.
