Dark Knight Megathread

[Oizen]

DRK has always been some level of ogcd spam, I don't think completely shifting away from that in a rework is a good idea.
The job needs more gcds, but I don't think it should be made into a gcd combo job, we already have PLD and WAR for that.

I also dont think its gameplay within buffs is all that bad, nor have I ever really struggled to keep everything in a buff window as hard as I have when I play GNB.
To me the issue with DRK is more of it feels really weak outside of raid buffs, and frail too considering you're never going to have TBN after any burst window if you've dumped everything into it.

That was because of Dark Arts spam in Stormblood and I hated it... and Warrior doesn't even do the GCD combo job outside of 1-2-3A or 1-2-3B. Paladin could do a lot better with Sword Oath, and Confiteor combo I wish was not tied to Requiescat's activation, and Paladin would work better as high APM tank because shield and Gladiator training.

Gunbreaker was designed with double weaving at the right time in mind, and does high APM thing better than Dark Knight. And The Blackest Night in it's current state should not be tied to damage dealt without a big enough payoff. But I do agree that Dark Knight is a bit too frail for when you DON'T have The Blackest Night.
