as a tank main in final fantasy 14, specifically a warrior main, dungeon tanking is easy, you just pop bloodwetting and the rest takes care of itself
but when you go dark knight, you better pray you healer trusts you enough to not die so your abilities actually proc

He obviously didn't mitigate enough. Skill issue.
.. ow. Ow.
Waaaaay too real pffff – I don't usually use text macros (makes it more likely that the ability doesn't go off) but the amount of times I've been healed out of Living Dead is. Way, way Way too many
You're horrible for forcing me to relive this trauma (your content is excellent, I've turned your Esuna video into a text-macro (I don't think I'll ever use it but boy, some healers really make me want to never queue a non-healer role again))
As a support main, I can confirm we know enough to mess you up. And we will.
Consider it revenge for the content represented in FFXIV – The Healer experience.
To this day, and I think I speak for us all: when healers go into autopilot, we all play like this.
I miss what DRKs used to be pre shadowbringers.
Jfc this is accurate i use tbn for mitigation so it breaks and i can do dps but you know benediction cancels it most times
Hey at least by the time you get to that specific dungeon you have proper mitigation tools ……… before lvl82 its just "Oh cool I have a single shield" … hope Drk gets a rework …
Don't forget Arm's Length! If your healer sees you use that there's a +28% chance of them treating you with basic respect!
To be called out like this, fuck.
Sorry, only warrior and paladin daddies are tanks. Get to the back of the line with the Gunbreakers. Anway, I gotta go rescue the BLM out of his magic circle now for no reason
Can't forget the holy stuns when you're trying to make TBN break
It’s pretty rough being a Dark Knight main, regardless of the changes they finally made to Blood Weapon and Living Dead. I eventually decided to play with WAR and GNB, getting them both to 90, and I am so jealous of how much sustain they have, as well as an upgraded shield (Bloodwhetting/Heart of Corundum) while DRK just gets “Oblation,” which is a stack mitigation. While undergoing this process I have come to realize just how bad TBN actually is, especially by the fact that it costs resource and that if it doesn’t break, the game just says “f**k you for playing” and it makes me feel stupid for even playing DRK in the first place. Here’s h(coping) that DRK gets some more changes in Dawntrail, like an actual self sustain ability.
I leveled Dark Knight just for the story.
Now that it's maxed leveled and Glam to perfection. I just use it to stand in random places and look cool. I just like Warrior too much!
this hurt with how accurate this is
I did not understand a word in this vid. I just press all the pretty buttons
We’re just allowing Dark knights to become the strugglers they strive to be.
As a drk main yes
ty for video 🙂
Hey you know the one tank class that's all edgy and uses shadows and blood magic and stuff? Yea let's give every tank a load of self healing tools EXCEPT that one. Yea, why would Dark Knight have life steal mechanics, pffft.
If a tank buster appears on me im taking them with me
I hate healing dark knights, if only because so many of them have no idea what theyre doing. I cant tell you the number of times ive heard "dont heal me imma living dead" only for them to pop it at full hp and have it run out before they hit the threash hold.
This actually HURTS – A DRK main
Dark Knights are much better than they used to be… Used to be a nightmare to heal back in the ol' HW for me. Since Shadowburgers they haven't been so bad.
As a Dark Knight Player i always get in a dungeon with my baseball outfit on.
Me as a healer sweating profusely when a DRK enters my game because it's going to be a coinflip if I can trust them or not.
Oh the pain! xD
I am a DRK main. I want to thank you for perfectly capturing my frustrations when i hear ppl "DrK iS tHe WoRst tANk, It sO Bad in DungEonS"
Sad thing as both a DRK/WAR main this is so true at times. If you're WAR sometimes the healer just fucks off and you don't even notice. But when you're DRK and the healer decides to go away, you feel it and it sucks.
Broh, are we a team? or what?! XD lols
If you're gonna be an edgy DRK, you better be nice to your healers at all times! Make them the exception to your constant brooding for you never know when they might do this! Some people might mock you for kissing up to them, but those people will soon be dead anyway and won't even get the help to outlast Living Dead.
This video just kinda makes the DRK look bad tho since they d be better off if they just started mitigating and then throwing tbn on that instead of waiting endlessly until getting to mitigate, kind of like your average roulette DRK
I love how WHM and DRK were a couple pair back with old Living Dead, but as time went on and Blackest Night got added that doesn’t mesh well with Holy, they slowly became incompatible
Absolute painful experience in roulettes as a DRK
I actually had a DRK thank me for properly healing them once. I told them the job I use when tanking is DRK and we had that brother sister bonding moment with head nods. Like I gotchu buu!
When they gave Living Dead self-heal on gcds last year I nearly cried.
God I feel this in my soul. Playing dark knight is the reason I'm a better healer. I'm honestly glad dark knight isn't just a self healing bot like the other tanks. Keeps me on my toes as both a DK and a healer.
When I see someone pop living dead i cannot stop myself from healing it, it's like an insatiable urge I always fall victim to, I cannot resist it.
I also use mits/shields despite tbn because it seems every drk overestimates it…i may also just be a professional hater.
I just want to say I seriously love your animations. I've watched the SMN like 12 times now. Thank you for making these. <3
this is why even though I love Dark Knight, I still rarely use them in Dungeons
I feel like the vast majority of problems anyone has ever had playing any class would be significantly mitigated by the presence of a voice chat feature. Basic communication and being able to shout out to your healer "Hey, so, I just popped Living Dead, plz no heal thx." or "Hey I fucked up my mitigation and I'm about to get my booty blasted please send help." would pretty much solve the problem in my humble opinion. Like even a braindead newbie can understand the concept of NOT pressing a button because your tank asked you nicely.
"But what if they're the dumbest Healer in Eorzea?" Well now you know you need to treat them like a child and do small pulls, problem still solved in a way.
Raids as DRK be like:
"So you want me to put reprisal and TB mits WHERE in my 19 oGCD opener?"
yoshi p said you get magic defense at best, oh and the fkin unmend buff lmao
thank god i got the 700 duty as drk achivement so i dont have to use it anymore
Playing DRK with WHM friends is just constant anxiety trying desperately to mind read each other like some kind of strategy game
