Dark Knight Megathread

[Keagian]

Time to put down the big sword and pick up the Gunblade or Scythe, job is dead to me.

[Falar]

How did everyone else get big new flashy moves and we got nothing?

dark is already perfection and it doesnt need anything to prove that. it is the most played tank /s

You got a Salted Earth additional action and a big dark slashy move that the Heroes Gauntlet Berserker dude used.

[WhyAmIHere]

Wow.
A Salted Earth centered on the user, and a new matching animation.
Upgrade to TBN.
Upgrade to Flood of Shadow.
Looks like either Dark Mind or Dark Missionary got upgraded as well.

What the F was actually added to DRK. What new move has DRK been given? Not a one. WAR get Fellest Cleave, alongside keeping Fell Cleave and Inner Chaos. They got costless Onslaught and Upheaval. If potencies and recasts aren't adjusted WAR's gonna have more weaving to do than DRK because MP costs still gate DRK's oGCDs.

This is god damn weak. This is not appealing. The job action trailer showed off nothing of note that wasn't an upgrade to it's already existent kit. Nothing new has been added. Nothing has been gained. Bloodspiller's animation is still trash. Delirium is *literally* inferior to Inner Release in every way still. Still no mention of Blood Weapon being given the charge system akin to current Bunshin; *at best I can only hope it gets an adjustment like 6.0's DelIRium, but I won't hold my breath waiting for that.

GNB's got continuation on Burst Strike. 3 Cartridges. A 2 Cartridge ability.
PLD's now got a whole new set of skills that evolve off of Confiteor.

DRK is a joke. At this point I'm just going to relegate DRK alongside PLD and others as "Jobs I will only level in deep dungeon / exploratory content." I am beyond upset with what you've done to DRK, dev team.

[Jirah]

Just reminding everyone Edge of Shadow II or Flood of Shadow II doesn’t add jack sh** to DRK

[Beddict]

Well that section of the Live Letter was a joke. No addressing the Delirium complaints, no addressing the Living Dead complaints, clearly no Haste when Blood Weapon was activated. Real glad to see that the devs give a shit about DRK. Probably gonna move over to PLD or GNB for Endwalker, why should I care about the Job when SE doesn't.

[AziraSyuren]

I'll still play DRK sometimes because I'm a career omnitank, but I'll definitely be angry while doing it.

[Baxcel]

Welp guess I'm hanging up my greatsword for another expansion.. I got it to 80 and didn't touch it again.. looks like I'm doing the same for 90..

It's really unfortunate that they've effectively killed the DRK.. making it WAR lite was the end of the road for it.

[nanashinana]

What did DRK do to even deserve this man...?
