Dark Knight Megathread

[Absurdity]

During burst tell me when you can fit a TBN during those double weaves without clipping gcds and I will concede that DRK has the best tank rework in 6.0.

Yeah, that is one of the major issues with how Dark Knight feels to play. DrK's burst windows aren't complicated, they're just annoying because the toolkit is bloated with oGCDs every 60 seconds (and especially bloated every 2 minutes) and then 45 seconds of just spamming Souleater combo until the next burst.

On it's own this wouldn't be a problem but I noticed that the current fight design also has most mechanic spam happening during your burst phases. So you end up with a tank that is absolute busywork when the fight becomes hectic (dealing with tank mechanics, mitigating damage, doing your burst and dealing with whatever other mechanics are happening) and then incredibly dull gameplay when nothing interesting is happening in the fight either.

Yeah, I mean it's busier than just about all the dedicated melee DPS jobs, though to be fair I haven't delved into ninja lately so I can't say on that one. I just know that RPR and SAM are definitely miles easier to deal with than DRK.
