@@morriganrenfield8240 yea it’s confusing at first since the game doesn’t tell you what to do for it, but basically you’re supposed to activate the blood weapon ability so you heal yourself when you attack the enemies. It’s an ability under the marauder tree. So it takes a little extra effort since you have to remember to keep that ability active, but the extra damage is great.

Really, the easiest way to improve TBN is to have a lower level ability that works similarly. With TBN just being an upgrade. My opinion would be to just make it only a shield. TBN upgrades the shield to be able to use the offensive oGCDs for free. That way new DRKs can focus on using the shield when needed and TBN adds in the level of wanting to make sure it pops.

Nice, I need to try it some more as DRK. I like GNB the best because every slice they make feels very poppy/explosive/impactful, whereas I remember the DRK swings feeling a bit slow and smushy when I tried. And PLD while awesome armor, feels absolutely terribly weak/jingly sounding attacks and spells, vs the explosive feel of GNB. But of course all are cool in their own way, haven't tried WAR yet but want to

I love all the tanks, and as much as I love the drk, I feel the animations and sounds to be the weakest. Gnb cartridge rounds feels explosive when I use them, warrior inner release feels and sounds like I’m a berserker, but drk just feel like a limp noodle. Paladin… well it’s in the middle. This is all my opinion though.

I love and hate this Job, half the healers struggle to keep it alive, and sadly people hate it when you play it too. That being said, if you are looking to get into Tanking, go with PLD or Gunbreaker for starters and then get into this. For Healing WHM is meta anything else is just heresy. (Joke) Seriously though, dont start as a DRK, it will sour the Tanking experience as a tank Sprout.

I so far love Dark Knight, although I started out as a Marauder and became a Warrior but I really love how Dark Knight feels to play in general, Gunbreaker is fun as well but I admit that I have a very monkey brain and have no clue how to play that class efficiently and Paladin while I have no clue how the best rotation works for any class I do know for Paladin that there’s essentially a Physical Phase that leads into a Damage Phase, then there’s my Main Warrior..No clue what I’m actually doing for buffs and debuffs or what the best rotation is but I just press buttons and it works..The self-healing feels amazing and I enjoy the extra ease it brings in case I need to worry about the healer. All-in-all I so far love all tanks and I personally rank Warrior>Dark Knight>Paladin>Gunbreaker for play styles that I’m comfortable with.

i dont get why some ppl have so strong negative opinions about TBN. their argument is, that its situational and a dps loss if you fail. first of all, there are alot of mitigation skills that are situational, this argument is completely invalid. then there is the element of failing. everything in ff14 is scripted, you learn timings of other mitigation skills in each fight, so what stops you from learning tbn timings that guarantee a success? i think the added skill expression with tbn is great, but i can see how players who dont want to put in some extra effort, may dislike it. but calling this skill straight up garbage, like some ppl do, is just not true. if this skill didnt have a negative, it would be straight up overpowered. and if you remove the risk and also the reward, its just another standard mitigation skill. the only slightly valid argument i could think of, is that DRK doesnt have as much "standard" mitigation skills like other tanks and therefor has to rely on TBN from time to time, even tho it might not be ideal. but, oh well, then u lose a little bit of tank dps from time to time... no one cares, it doesnt matter. you could argue a slight dps loss could sometimes matter in ultimates, but u know, it doesnt. and if u still tihnk it does, just dont fail in ultimates then. everything is calculated and the coordination with other players should be there to ensure you can get your tbn off successfully.

They should change Living Shadow so that it appears instantly, via plunge cut, when called in-combat, and leave the summon animation for when you're not in combat mode, starting the countdown when you pull. That way you'd get the best of both worlds: the cool animation and the instantaneous effect. And yes, Frey's actions should reflect your own attacks in some way. Right now, Living Shadow is basically a DoT skill that takes 7 seconds to activate.

I love all tanks equally, I once started as MRD and then picked up DRK as my third tank to play after Gunbreaker, I heavily enjoyed it in shadowbringers. I did see major flaws with Dark Knight during 6.0 and I'm glad they did some changes and started playing Dark Knight a little bit more in raids and dungeons. The job can still be a bit sketchy in dungeons but no means learning when to mitigate properly without the sustain that Paladin and Warrior gets can be quite fun. Good job on the video!

Oblation is my only real complaint as a Dark Knight main. Devs should just make it a higher feature added to TBN or add something to make it make it stand out more as an ability. Maybe they can add like a minor regen HP over time with its ability when TBN's shield successfully breaks while ability is in effect. That would kill 2 birds with one stone.

I've pretty much exclusively played DPS, where I just have to press buttons in order and dodge the odd mechanic. The most I've needed to do as a DPS is rez a healer as SMN one time. I also have SCH at 82 since SMN is my main, but I don't use that either for similar reasons.

I'm REALLY happy with the Dark Knight changes they made in 6.1, but I do still think that TBN needs a bit more love. What's crazy to me is that Arcane Crest is essentially what I wanted TBN to become but they gave it to Reaper instead (which I'm not complaining about as I main Reaper now but dayum). My recommendation for the skill is to raise the cooldown to 25 seconds like all the other tank cooldowns, remove the MP cost, and make it so that when the shield is fully broken you get the mitigation from that new ability that they added which could then be removed. This serves the dual purpose of cutting down on button bloat as well as still giving Dark Knights a reason to hope that their shield is fully absorbed. Past that, I would make it so that blood weapon not only restores MP and HP as well to give Dark Knights just a tad bit more self-sustain.

I'm sorry in advance, but I'd like to share some thoughts on the current iteration of Dark Knight too - I guess I'm emotionally damaged as Dark Knight player and as Tank player in general :'D So, I started playing FFXIV before Shadowbringers was around. First and foremost my goal in the game was to become a Dark Knight - and I totally agree that having to play up to Heavensward in order to be able to play Dark Knight and then needing to level again to keep going is really tormenting :'D But I loved playing as a Dark Knight since then... up until Shadowbringers at least. While it has become way easier since then, I still miss the sheer amount of flexibility it had by then. This flexibility is basically down to the management of two resources which give you more control over when to use certain skills - but only to some extend as you should keep some MP for TBN and some blood gauge for Living Shadow. I think therefore Warrior and Paladin offer even more flexibility in total. Living Shadow is a topic of its own... I can live with the style of that, but the shadow being not controlable in any way is still bugging me a bit. I would have liked a mechanic like the Ninja's shadow clone (flat Potency increase for X attacks in the time window) more in that regard. In terms of fast pacing I also kinda miss the old effect of Blood Weapon: not only generating blood gauge and MP but also reducing your global cooldown quite significantly. Now, for me personally the Gunbreaker fits the role of the fast pacing tank a bit better, having a (smaller) burst window more frequently than the Dark Knight. The busy opener of the Dark Knight on the other hand leads to quite some downtime where you can not do all that much outside your 1-2-3 combo, once you depleted all your MP and oGCDs. But TBN is still what bugs me the most. On paper this skill is, once you get it on Level 70, ridiculously powerfull compared to what the other tanks have to offer at that point. And it still is in Shadowbringer. In Endwalker though, it is not that great anymore in comparison. Up to that point I would argue that TBN is an defensive option, that does offer some additional flexibility. But from that moment on, I feel more like TBN is a necessity and when I look at it that way, yeah I think the MP cost is not an investment anymore but a decrement that can lead to some goofy moments. I threw my TBN on a Paladin or Gunbreaker more than one occasion on which they used their invuln. I mean, it's not that much of a loss to really be mad about - but having a skill that doesn't really offer more than the competition does but also has a risk or downside to it feels rather unrewarding/punishing to me at least. That all being said, the Dark Knight is doing really fine on raids and trials. In addition to the reasons Desperius has given us in this video, I'd like to give another reason to play Dark Knight: The Job interface of the Dark Knight is simply the best tank interface there currently is and I am not even kidding with that point. It does not only look very cool in my opinion, but in addition to your job gauge you also have an indicator for the remaining time of dark side, the remaining time of living shadow and if you have a stack of dark arts. A Paladin in comparison can only keep track of his time windows and stacks on the buff/debuff panel which can be confusing sometimes, like when you do have several party buffs active for example.

I always really appreciate your videos because you convey all the passion you have for this game. I only started playing for 7 days and I had two goals: to learn how to tank (and in fact I have a warrior) and to try the dark knight. I grew up reading Kentaro Miura's Berserk and when I learned that the Dark Knight had paid homage to it, I was thrilled. Just a question what is this Hairstyle called 03:52 and where can I get it?

I don't mind the Meta Pick on 2nd Reason, what I'm afraid is, will it increasing Toxicity toward DRK ? Since Meta Player lean toward this class they will expect that other DRK should be up on par to them or something If normal DRK that pick the class just for their love underperform in any shape or form, they'll have a stigma to the class it's the same as Lifeline, Wraith or something like that on APEX, I thinks you get the point Great Vid tho, DRK all the way and will not change my main anytime soon, unless I got a group of friend and I can swap to some DPS like MNK xD

Eh Noone in normal/ex content is gonna care about your performance and in savage if you've got like 86-88k hp with food(looking at hp is an easy way to tell ilvl) they aren't gonna compare you to a bis drk that has over 90k. Ultimates are different tho. You are expected to be up to par.

Note. Living Dead is a Benediction effect during Walking Dead in trash pulls. Communicate (or hope) with your healer so they understand that this is effect is ONLY in Walking Dead… not before or after it.
