Thread: 6.1 Dark Knight

Here's what I would do (or would love to see happen)

The Blackest Night: Duration 7s -> 8s
Blood Weapon: 5 Stacks Duration 30s
Bloodspiller: Cure Potency 300
Quietus: Cure Potency 300 (acts like Abyssal Drain)
Salted Earth: Aura that follows the Dark Knight (might be difficult to work for a patch)
Living Dead: Remove healing requirement
Abyssal Drain: Removed (do we really need this?)

I would love for Salted Earth to also decrease the damage output of any mobs that are standing in it by 10%. Similar to a secondary Reprisal (which used to be a DRK only ability anyways)

Sounds cool but I think it risks adding one more Defensive cooldown over the other tanks (they didn't like us for having TBN for the longest time) however adding a slow like arms length might work because that doesn't work on bosses.

Eh, GNB has significantly more defensive cooldowns. I think DRK could stand to have 1 more.

We have the same amount ... well more if you count Oblation (I wouldn't fault you if you didn't). Are they better than GNB, god no but the DRK have the same amount and I think that is what the devs will look at.

DRK has already got the worst self-sustain during trash pulls, we don't need to kneecap it any further

That's what the 300 heal potency to quietus is for.

I'd prefer switching AD to a GCD with MP cost rather than deleting it and attaching heals to Quietus, it would make MP management a little more interesting at least.

Then they better increase the MP recovery of Syphon Strike to 1000mp like PLD.
