Dark Knight Balance changes

[ThurinTurambar]

dont see the issue. dark knight already squishies tank pre-70 letting blood weapon have bloodbath procs isnt really hurting anything when every other tank in the game can solo bosses and dark knight is only one who truely can't really says something. thats so op i gain few thousand hp at max level with 3 abilities its god teir busted. like you said i dont see it

As if soloing bosses should be an important feature (also in skilled hands, drk absolutely can solo bosses, especially when abyssal drain/cns is unlocked).

lets compare no mercy and fight or flight vs current blood weapon. not even close still worst tank job in the game 70 below people are perfectly with dark knight being trash until max level or fact leveling experence on dark is unfun to play worst of them

In overall damage at lower levels, darknight wins in aoe by a mile. In single target all the tanks are close together, drk having greatest benefit from party buffs as well. Paladin is bit behind in single target and gunbreaker is severely behind in aoe deparment.

Lets give demostration what it like playing dark knight lower levels - you just unlock your job. You wall to wall pull and use cooldowns accordingly like you shouldnt and. well you die. you die not because your healer didnt heal you fast enough simply puyt you die cause Squire-Enix made you squishie as you possibly be before the healer even manage get one cure II of you lose 85% of your health your healer is having hard time healing you when if this was any other tank at this level they probably wouldnt suffer at much

Other tanks have similar mitigation buttons at respective levels, with only odd one out being Raw Intuition that is too strong, and its lvl 56 unlock. Has it crossed your mind to not wall to wall when half the jobs dont have aoe skill yet or only the 1st step of combo?
Even further, abyssal drain at 56 is a stronger healing option than clemency and aurora.

skill issue. i think not as you level do your dark knight quests find the abilities you gain as you level very boring often ask yourself. why did i do this what is meaning of life. cause dark knight so bad at low level content find very little enjoyiment at it at all cause most abilities get 30-50 are boring as hell. no you have wait 70 hard long levels and dungeons grinds to get TBN but wait there is more. anytime you do your daily have a chance do dungeons that take anyway that TBN then just go back being terrible again. only reason dont die so quickly now is gear stat difference. still gonna die. then notice when play another job with ppl play gunbreaker paladin or warrior they can solo bosses. dark knight struggles at this cause if whole party dies. your last one standing very high chance your gonna wipe

Sounds like your skill issue indeed.
