Dark Knight Megathread

[Runeslayer]

I wish Lost Ark isn't restricted to top down and elsword/vindictus isn't p2w. These 3 games have better greatsword user/dark knight job that make drk in xiv seem pale by comparison

We don't talk about the unholy elsword in this house.

All I really want from DRK is its own brand of utility along with a rotation that doesn't get monotonous and incoherent. It would be very cool to have them lean into a tiered rotation, with enhanced animations and more functions as you go up in tiers before needing to reset back to tier 1. I still advocate for something like that, really bringing out the longer DRK fights the more wild and fierce they strike concept before needing to cool off and reset the dance.

I had hoped that DRK would have more of a spell weaving aspect to them. paladin has a spell and melee part of a rotation and it think DRK mashing them together was where is was going to go back in heavensward with hard slash and abyssal drain as a spell.

Having mana skill naturally making black blood skills is a way to do that. I know cloud talk can be touchy but i figured it'd be something like cross slash, where if you use mana correctly queitus would get it's orb bursts.

I think it's odd how DRK can have two separate bars and with so many of it's ogcds stacking to two it just ends up as the banky-ist tank. but the bank till buffs is more of a overall game gripe.
