Dark Knight Megathread

Let's hope next Tuesday we get some changes, even small little changes are good for DRK at this point.

Now watch us get nothing because the devs refuse to listen...again.

If ast can get reworked two expansion in a row I don’t see why drk can’t.

Well DRK had been reworked in every expansion since HW. EW is the first expansion where they actually stuck to something that the prior expansion did and added to it. I think the issue might be that DRK, by the numbers, is serviceable and just as good as any other tanks in ex/sav.

It also doesn't help that its just not that fun imo. If I wanted to play a job where I have busy burst windows I'll play a DPS. I tank because I want the freedom between gcds to decide how to use my defensive cds, not be forced into shadow/ogcd spams.

Trust me, they heard us, and will plan to bring a new change where they add even more heals to PLD, WAR and GNB.
But if youre lucky, maybe they will delete soul eater, and abyssal drain...

getting nothing would be fine.
getting potency nerfs would be a death sentence.
decoupling CnS from AD would be a half-measure.

any changes at this point aren't gonna be good until YoshiP announces the dev team is working on a rework of DRK in response to player feedback, in my opinion.

EDIT::

They need to hire someone to work on DRK. It has been said the original creator left the team. Well if that's true than no wonder. They have no clue what they are doing with the job. I remember monk players having the same issue for years and now it's DRK.

"Now?"

This is old /sh rumor mill/tinfoil hat stuff but apparently the reason DRK been not any good since SB was because DRK was the developer's favorite job and they do this out of spite. There's apparently some really bad blood in there.

[Kalaam]

This is pitiful if true, but where does that rumor even come from. This is most likely false and a theory to find a justification to hate on the devs.

To be honest, this seems like the only valid theory out there. What more evidence do you need other than looking at DRK's kit and scratching your head as to why they just couldn't be bothered?

Criticism isn't blind hate. I "hate" when people cannot logically grasp that difference. Should we shower them with praise and approval for something that simply just is a trashfire?

I'm not sure wether it's the company or the developers but in all honesty, the CEO isn't sitting there with an agenda to make DRK worse. Do these developers truly love you? I think not.

Whatever. Look at every other gaming company or specifically Blizzard and they truly despise their customers. The only reason we got to this point is blind obedience and fanboyism.

I doubt they would add self-heal to any ogcds because they know we use them for damage. All the other tanks' self heals are regular CDs minus PLD. Best bet would be adding heal effects to oblation or tbn, blood weapon and delirium are iffy since they're more combat-oriented CDs. Heal on bloodweapon would be cool, but 60 seconds is a bit too long for a self heal ability. I think they just realized they are in a tight spot now. Arcane circle is an ability I wouldn't mind stealing.
