Dark Knight Megathread

More CDs like Vengeance would be a start. Spike damage auras or shields would be sexy. And would fill a niche playstyle a Tank could uniquely provide. All based on invoking defensives that actively hurt the enemy just by hitting you.

So much focus on Tanks these days is all about DPS and not enough about defensives.

I'd rather TBN explode if it breaks and does the amount of HP in pure damage on the fool that broke it.

One thing they should learn, though, is the sense of progression regarding new actions when you level up. Me getting a mitigation cooldown with a 90-120sec cooldown isn't as fun or engaging as a healer or especially DPS cooldown or combo move.

First, it is very situational outside of dungeons. Second, it doesn't help me kill anything faster, just longer. Third, it is not satisfying, engaging or rewarding when interacting with the open-world content. At least a healer can save a random stranger and be pals, I can't even TBN someone as a DRK.

Just as an aside, is anyone else going to be removing Abyssal Drain from their hotbars when servers go live too?

It's still an incredibly good dungeon self-heal (unless they changed how the healing works, wouldn't put it past them now). The problem is that you can't make DRK slightly better in dungeons in exchange of being a worse raid main tank and call that balance.

It's funny that they decided to actually buff Reaper's Arcane Crest down to a 15 second recast from 30 seconds. Now it's not only objectively better than Oblation, but it's functionally a mini-TBN without risk of any damage penalty and a party-wide buff attached.

Even if DRK by chance ends up being on the higher end of the damage spectrum for tanks, I don't think it will be fun to play.

It's kind of hard to believe the meta won't be someone else MT and DRK blue DPS. Between not being able to be liberal with short mitigation, half your mitigation abilities being party-targetable and no additional self-sustain against bosses, everything reads designated OT.

Have a fun video. I needed a laugh.

The duration of the regen is 15s, the recast of the skill is still 30s at least on the official web.

MAKE BLOOD GAUGE USING ABILITIES HEAL WHY DOES PALADIN HOLY ABILITIES HEAL

[Derio]

I still dont understand the sharing of cooldown for AD and CS. They could have at least added a heal effect to CS. Also DRK now has the least amount of sustain putting you at the mercy of your healers even more.

I wonder if this version of DRK gets some adjustments come 6.05 or even 6.01

Less weaving. Shadowbringers has two stacks already and it really looks like they didnt wan't to change the tanks too mutch.
