Dark Knight Megathread

[Anahlise_Auhn_Giinslai]

Reprisal - Dark Knight. As is.
Flash - Paladin: Blinding light has reduced the effectiveness of enemy attacks by 10%.
Intimidate - Warrior: Fear is making your enemies hesitate, reducing damage by 10%.
Aether Field - Gunbreaker: A blast of compressed aether has weakened your enemies, reducing damage by 10%.

That is not a bad idea. /slight smile I was not certain about Intimidate for a moment, though.. but I had just read it wrong. X'D I was reading it as the Warrior gains a buff, so that only the Warrior is being hurt less, but I think that you rather meant a debuff applied to enemies, like the other three...

I might've just misinterpreted that as Yoshi-P wanting to make sure the dev team nails the theme of a Job by giving them awesome looking abilities. Sorry if I gave any false hope, will rewatch both streams when I have the time. Really hoping I didn't provide misinformation there, sorry in advance if I am wrong. I'll go back to my previous post and cross that bit out for now.

Noted, and you are fine... I at least never had hope, and still do not, that 6.0 will be redemption for Dark Knight, even though I would love that, of course...

I won't be surprised they leave tanks aside like always and DRK condemned to be a WAR clone forever, it wont be the first time.

I am going to be.. livid.. if that ends up being how things are going to be... but, yeh.. as much as I would love for Dark Knight to be all that I want it to be, I will not be surprised if it remains trash, and the worst Tank of all Tanks, with no improvement or fixes, if not even becoming worse than it already is...
I am preparing to abandon Dark Knight and completely stop playing it, even though I do not want to all that much, once EndWalker release is a thing and 6.0 starts...
I am thinking to ditch and give up on Dark Knight if there is no improvement, since Reaper is looking like a good replacement for Dark Knight...

The benchmark trailer did not show much for DRK (as well as the other jobs). All we saw was some sort of new mitigation skill. Is it an upgrade to The Blackest Night or is it something else entirely? We'll just have to wait, but I am keeping my expectations low.

I think it might be a damage buff. It looked like "No Mercy" when he lifted up his sword and executed the ability.

Both PLD and DRK showed some mitigation skill personally i hope these replace rampart
and WAR was shown flailing around which to me just looks like an AOE upheaval :/

bit much for a damage up skill i think its just mit

I looked at that footage slowed down and it's most likely just a Mitigation skill. There's a blue aura around Paladin as well and by the looks of it it's a shield on PLD so it's probably the same for DRK.

It could also very well be an updated version of Shadow Wall or TBN, but that's just hypothesizing on this part. Another interesting fact is how Plunge creates this screen shaking effect similiar to GNB's Blasting Zone. Perhaps they did that only for the trailer, don't know. All in all I'd keep my expectations low just in case.

Also, at 3:05 seconds if you take a good look at DRK, Delirium still is there.

I rewatched the benchmark several times but im unable to see Delirium there, the only thing i have hope right now is this from the Q&A:

Q - Will there be jobs where it's been changed drastically in how they are played? If so, what job would that be?
A - We cannot answer this. While there ARE, we cannot tell you which job it is. Please look forward to the next PLL.

I really wishing to much that job is DRK, please for the lord.

I genuinely hope that they're still working in progress on DRK. Or that Delirium is basically like back in Stormblood. When the camera focuses in on DRK again, it seems they've used Quietus indicated by the animation. It also has been only used once, which perhaps means that the spamming has ended in 6.0, all in all that's just my thoughts however; take it with a grain of salt. What all of this ends up being will only be certain once we see the Job trailer.

o wow nice find, I kept seeing syphon strike all over the place when I tried to find delirium.

Yeah i agree with that, DRK total lack of mechanics its part of the problem of the job and you depend totally of raid buffs to how to manage your own stuff.

DRK use to be better on aoes with more free use of abyssal drain, It was better at self sustain, its so sad how they killed the best part of DRK Gameplay like that.

I 100% agree with you, and you are going to make me cry, Shao32... X'D I will not be surprised if Dark Knight is not one of those drastically changed subclasses, and that the stupid ShB Delirium intends to stay. >-> I am still not going to hope yet, but it would be great if that means that Dark Knight
has been redesigned for the better...
