Dark Knight Megathread

[WhyAmIHere]

Safest assumption is probably an "Improved Living Shadow" trait. And I don't think it's duplicated, the general order of abilities that shadow uses looks the same as it is now, they were just being stylish like they were in ShB trailer.

I've seen a couple of people assuming Flood 2.0 is tied to Living Shadow, and I really don't think that's the case because it would be incredibly bad, and I have at least a little faith in squeenix.
I will eat my greatsword if it is.

"Players felt that shadow was underwhelming."

It's hard to say. If you Dark Wave has more potency than Edge/Flood but doesn't add time to Darkside, then you're rewarded for managing the timer well. If it's on a recast timer with charges, then it's just an issue of anticipating and reserving MP for it. If using it with your Shadow up gives you extra damage, then it makes your LS window more interactive. Either way, it's an interesting development.

What are you worried about the most in 6.0 regarding DRK?

I'm worried that nothing will improve.
No new gameplay loop to spice things up.
No new actions to make the dulldrums of 1 2 3 spam any less entertaining.
That living dead won't get any TLC and it'll still be jank as always.
That Blood Weapon won't receive a charge system akin to Bunshin / Endwalker IR and Delirium.
That, once again, TBN will be held up as "but DRK has TBN, it doesn't need [insert quality of life stuff]."
That leveling experience is still woefully crap for new players, via no true AoE rotation until 72.
That once you get Delirium at what, 64? 66? that DRK's gameplay loop is basically done then and for the next [n] levels nothing meaningful will change like how PLD gets cast times removed, or like Continuation on GNB, or like WAR getting what looks like a finisher for their IR spam window.

But more, that all the things that could've been done for DRK are now sitting in RPR's kit.

Surely they wouldn't do something silly like make unmend lower the CD of another ability haha

It’s DRK, of course they would. Devs have no unique vision for the job that hasn’t been parted out to other tanks or been placed on rpr.

Shame the Devs couldn't careless about DRK, the stuff they implemented pretty much solidified they don't give a flying chocobo's arse about DRK and just slapped bandages on this malformed thing they called Dark Knight and said good enough.

I'm tired of them ignoring all the complaints the DRK players have had with the job and continue to shit on it like its not one of the most iconic Jobs in the Final Fantasy franchise.

Dropping the job for GNB cause at least they can't fuck that job up since it already has a playstyle that is considered solid enough to build upon.

I think my worry is it won't feel particularly fun to play, I have no evidence to back that up, but I have a feeling it's not going to be good according to the job trailer.

I give to you my greatsword. Let that be a reminder of who we were and what our duty is as Dark Knights.
