Dark Knight Megathread

[Sazuzaki]

This is an ongoing issue with DRK, and another reason why I and many others think this job needs a rework with the new tank CDs introduced in EW, as well as the 2 minute meta.

To explain and add some context, I usually soak the duo tank buster in P10S alone. The healers feel it makes it easier for them, so usually I just pop Shadow Wall + Dark Mind + TBN + maybe Reprisal/Dark Missionary. The third duo buster aligns directly with the 2 minute burst, followed by an immediate tower buster which requires me to save mana for TBN, otherwise I tank a ton of damage from the tower. So there comes a point where I have to skip an Edge of Shadow on raidbuffs so I have enough mana to use for The Blackest Night. This also happened somewhere in the last tier, I think P7S?

Basically, putting tank busters right after 2 minute bursts sucks for Dark Knight because it makes you hold your MP instead of spending it on raid buffs. It punishes you for tanking.

I say remove the 3000 MP cost of TBN, but rework DRK to have other MP spenders that are purely for DPS. Make us manage our mana through our rotation, NOT our cooldowns.
