Dark Knight Megathread

[Crater]

DRK is comparable to GNB and PLD in dungeon performance (WAR vs any other tank is of course a different story). The whole idea that people "dread" seeing DRK is just leftover remnants of the doomposting DRK got at Endwalker launch from people who haven't bothered to actually update that opinion with actual experience.

Math has been posted here before, there are easily-perusable public logs where you can compare the total effects of healing and mitigation from tank to tank - the idea that DRK is a bad dungeon tank holds absolutely no water, unless you define good and bad such that WAR is the only good dungeon tank and DRK/PLD/GNB are all essentially equally bad.
There was a (weak) case to be made at EW launch that DRK was a little worse than GNB or PLD because Living Dead wasn't really dungeon-friendly, but that's no longer the case.
