[7.05] Dark Knight Time and ohhhhhh boy… I am still upset this job got 0 changes with 7.05. It was the sole reason this video was delayed. But idk, the job is fun and all, but it just doesn’t feel the same as it used to.

I like how right after you hit abyssal drain, all that health is gone. buff dk yoshipls
That Moonlight-Greatsword-looking-sword interests me very much
Another day another great guide
Step 1: Switch to another tank.
truly the dark knight guide of all time
Dark Knight is truly the most underwhelming job in FFXIV, lack of proper mitigation and self sustain compared to Paladin and Warrior make it downright unbearable in certain dungeons.

This is DARK KNIGHT, it makes you feel helpless and desperate!
Really appreciating the re-caps with the new expansion <3
I wished abyssal drain had charges or we had something more to help dark knight survive in big packs of enemies. TBN is still a good mit but it feels like heart of corundum on gunbreaker just does it better now. Dark knight is about letting out the inner darkness.. because we suffering.
I’m probably one of the few who likes Dark Knight.
my beloved edgy tank
Adding 5 seconds to reprisal at level 98 sounds like a joke.
For the tank targetable mits, I have my Nascent macroed and next to the party list so I can do some sheild and heals
don't ever keep full MP, keep using your darkness abilities. Yes even when the dark Arts dmg buff is still up, as these darkness abilities hit pretty hard, so continue to use them in-between your GCD combos always. But if LV70+ save 3k MP for TBN to be kept on cooldown for dungeon mobs or a tankbuster from a boss. Under LV70 tho, go nuts, your drk MP should be always near empty cuz of it. Drk that have full MP are always dealing less damage.
I was taking a break from the game, came back and this is how I find out they gutted my main tanking job
Im sobbing. Thanks for the guide love your vids :' )
Thank you so much for including your hotbar setup!
If Dark Arts you get from TBN pop allowed you to get a free abyssal drain, the job would be saved.
Dark Knight , in my opinion, suffers from a lot of obsolete and unneccesarily overbalanced design decisions.
TBN – has no reason to only last 7 seconds and not heal you when the shield goes away (through the countdown or when it breaks)
Dark Mind – a far too situational tool that you won't use 99% of the time. It should at least be changed to where it mitigates ALL damage instead of just magic
Salted Earth – should really just be the PvP version
Abyssal Drain & Carve and Split – have no reason to share a cooldown
Dark Missionary – really should be moved down to Lvl 70 content
Living Shadow – the clone is animation locked for around a quarter of the ability's total 20s duration. It should really only start ticking down after the summon animation is over.

>lack of mitigation
>lack of self sustain
>healer often complain to babysit
>already squishy
Like DRK players always say, it's already hard enough to keep living and to not press the "Living Dead"
I don’t dislike the merging of delirium and blood weapon, but I don’t love it. Pure middle of the road for me. I do miss plunge. I LOVE that Living Shadow doesn’t need gauge anymore.
I don't care HOW much hate DRK gets as a job. I WANT TO BE THE BIG SWORD USER AND IM GONNA BE THE BIG SWORD USER
