For DRK, I think if Abyssal Drain had a 30-second cooldown and healed more from the initial target, it would be a lot more in line with the other tanks.

[@ikecampbell2221]

I've been saying this for a while. If Abyssal Drain actual sucked in more health, had a lower CD, or shit not share a timer with Carve and Spit, I think it would be a lot better.

[@StormierNik]

Y'know what's confusing? That Salt and Darkness is the thing that had an extra part to it, that you can only do one time but shows a cooldown.. but Abyssal Drain would have made so much sense to place on an area, activate, then activate again every so often. BETTER YET, WHY DOESN'T SALT AND DARKNESS JUST WORK LIKE IT DOES IN PVP! WHERE IT GIVES YOU HEALTH BASED ON PEOPLE STANDING IN IT OVER TIME The PVP team is doing DRK way more justice. Especially with how they made plunge have a better purpose, applying a debuff, and DRK ability to drain their health for more damage.

[@SoujiSetaTheFox]

I always thought it would be cool if TBN and Abyssal Drain both shared CDs and cost 3000 MP so you had to choose between a 25% shield or more healing in a mob pack

honestly just allow us to use abyssal drain each time TBN pops. Thats all i've ever wanted.

[@asatowolfe]

After 96, the new combo you use in Delerium have an MP gain effect on all three buttons on top of Delerium (Blood Weapon)'s MP. It's different from before, but it's still sufficient. Below level 96 though, it does struggle with the changes. But at least it's not BLM who can't even get MP back consistently before Umbral Hearts with the new changes. Crazy oversight.

[@kazwyrm]

Scarlet delierium and by extention delirium pre dawntrail give the same as before, 200 mp per bloodspiller and by extention the new combo. each stack of blood weapon gives back 600 mp and we lost 2 without any refunds therefore my 1200 mp missing.

As a DRG main, I feel I got kicked in between my tail and my crotch... right there between the two. Not the balls, not the butt but RIGHT between them. The feeling of the job has been compromised. We lost 3 buttons, - 1 of which was a Party-Aid. - 1 of which was a gap-closer - 1 of which was our 5th combo positional being replaced with a high potency, non-position skill that doesn't even require us to land our previous positional correctly. Not saying DRK doesn't have it worse, they do, but man DRG has been about maintaining a pretty rigid GCD and OGCD with almost zero drift since HW to be effective. Clipping punishes you so badly. Now we barely have to worry about what we Life Surge (we have two 600 potency skills now to dump it on whenever) so RIP planning those. And what did we get? Skill-upgrades to Dragonfire and Stardiver. No new buttons unless you enjoy putting both Nastrond and Gierskogul on your hotbar. Still, I left DRK behind for WAR in my leveling this time. I am so sorry you guys.

Just gonna throw this out there, they didn't say that Dancer was a selfish dps. They said that it focuses on offensive buffs when compared to Machinist and other selfish dps. Why they worded it the way they did, I don't know. That doesn't really fix the fact that this article's kinda dumb, but they at least didn't get that wrong.

[@NatiiixLP]

> other selfish dps My interpretation was that they were talking about MCH's "more selfish DPS", but your interpretation could also be correct.

@@titusfortunus2916 The fact they even use the word selfish at all to describe classes, is bonkers though. How can ANY DPS, or any class for that matter, even be selfish? They all contribute in their own way. Any DPS, even if they only self-buff, IS doing damage to the mobs we are all collectively wanting to kill. Selfish would be just parking your character in a run and letting everyone else clear it. And afaik there's not a class that is designed to be played that way, obviously, haha.

There is a reason I play every tank but Dark Knight lol Also Monk is amazing outside of having to stare at the new balls…

[@williamforristal7098]

Solution: have how many stacks we have for each buffed GCD on the GCD itself. I hate the gauge tbh. And Monk will overall be fine once they remove the whole Dragon Kick not needing a form buff to grant the buff, because right now that’s the optimal way to play. Also, forced double weaves on a 1.94 GCD at my ping is impossible without 3rd party resources, so that feels bad.

[@kireina3582]

As a DRK main I can agree with them needing atleast 1 more way to self sustain, HOWEVER, I did solo the first 2 bosses from ~70% HP in the 2nd new dungeon in DT the first time I ever did it (My party members, healer especially were REALLY bad). the Upgraded Shadow Wall was a huge help and I honestly dont think we need anything crazy, maybe some form of healing on our Oblations which have a short cooldown and can also benefit party members would be my choice.

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

[@jonathanbaker4361]

Why do they feel like noting Picto has no resurrection spell? Does BLM? SMN has one because it's connected to SCH. RDM got one later, and I can only imagine it's because it is still connected to WHT magic, being a combo of WHT and BLK. Why should PCM have a res?

[@woodenmetal2977]

For DRK, I think their sustain would be better if abyssal drain has a 1200 cure potency, just like equilibrium minus the HoT. In addition, every time blood is spent or generated, the cooldown of abyssal drain drops by 1 second. If used in a mob pack, it heals up to 1200 potency and less as it affects more enemies. Also, don't tie it to the cooldown of CnS. If nothing else, that's the one that needs to be changed. Giving bloodspiller and quietus cure potency when delirium is used would also be nice.

drk just makes me sad, it's amazing to me how they gave all the other tanks a paragraph of mit/heal back in endwalker and we got 10% damage reduction......cool. Then in dawntrail, they do something that seems like a slam dunk by giving us delirium and blood weapon together, fantastic, but then it's only 3 stacks instead of 5.....so we get less gauge and less mana back.....awesome. Like I know it's not world ending, but it just gets frustrating when I watch the other tanks get great buffs and QOL, and when they get to drk, they take like 5 minutes, spit on the job, then move on. Also, just an aside, but anyone else disapointed that disesteem is literally just bloodspiller with particle effects to hide that it's just the same fucking move?

[@Zoho-Wow]

It seems obvious that this was just a grammatical mistake and they intended to say dancers low damage and utility contrasts with machinists selfish dps

[@Disciplined_Fate]

This is how I see it too. They shouldn't have use "with" or even "with more" in that sentence. It should have just been "machinist's defenses and selfish dps".

[@sorenkazaren4659]

On Dark Knight TBN should give you healing on weaponskill damage. For the duration the barrier is up you heal while hitting with weaponskills like bloodwhetting does. TBN has a shorter cooldown than Bloodwhetting but it costs mp. This would also make it so that if your shield breaks you gain dps but lose the healing, and if the shield doesn’t break you’ve gained the maximum amount of healing from it while losing the dps neutral aspect.

[@RhinoLWwizard1674]

While I agree the list isn't great, the Dancer sentence is more like "Dancer's party utility vs Machinist's defenses AND selfish DPS." The selfish DPS was still referring to Machinist, not Dancer.

[@undercovers2006]

As someone who was a sage Main as his first healer in endwalker, sage doesn't have trouble with bursts of incoming damage persay. If you prep correctly before raid wide's, Between the Aoe shields, and two AOE heal over time effects, with one being a built in mit, and stuff like Panhaima. Sage has it's own way of dealing with it and recovering. Just like sch has their ability to spread big shields around like candy. They do about the same when it comes down it to. Sage is also quicker on the draw, cause their shields don't really have a cast time so you're not rooted on the spot.

[@bas__nm]

I am a Dark Knight main and going through the story my healers died early (70%+) on almost every single dungeon boss and i had no issue making it through and keeping the dps alive as well.

bringing up Lion Heart as an iconic Limit Break, makes me think that if I was given Omni-Slash as a lvl 100 ability on Dark Knight, then I would literally not care about anything else. It could have the same HP as a mage with no mitigation and I'd still be okay with it because it's just that cool

[@iliketoitles]

The article isn't available anymore, lol. Seems Gamerant couldn't handle the criticism.😂

[@RyuNoZero]

as a SAM Main, ofc I want Kaiten back! I want the Synergy of Kenki and Weaponskills to return! Kenki right now feels useless because what are you using it on but Shinten (and Kyuten)? well the 1min Senei/Guren change makes you sit on 25 Kenki.. yay~ and Zanshin doesn't make it better. But being responsible for your hard hitting attacks to hit even harder? hmm! that feels Good! It's also funny how Life Surge is still in the Game even though it has no Job Gauge Interactivity and just gives your next Weaponskill crit and a self heal...

[@dohsay6004]

I think they worded the dnc and mch part wrong. But they meant opposite of what yu think they meant

[@Raansu]

This feels like deja vu.

[@drac_kanroji]

I’ve only wiped one time in a dungeon so far and it’s cause our healer DCed and we had a DRK. We would have been fine if it were any other tank.

[@ThatRedHusky]

"Though Sage can struggle against bursts of heavy incoming damage" AI still got a long way to go.

[@scooberz2015]

My biggest issue with DRK isn''t even the lack of self - sustain, its that there is really nothing "in its place" to off - set that weakness. TBN is still good, but other tanks have caught up and all of them can comfortably deal with big chonky tank - busters. DRK has had its share of issues for a long time, but their ability to both deal with AND deal crazy burst damage covered up most of those problems. Its still "fine", it checks the boxes, but DRK just feels like it lacks an identity. Sure PLD dps is meh, but they're sturdy AF and have utility for days. GNB is still the DPS pretending to be a tank that oddly enough has really solid defensives, and WAR is WAR. Brrr. Big defense, big heal, big hit, big good. DRK...looks cool.

how hard is it to wait 10 secs for a fuckin cs

[@Ramonez02]

I usually wait till savage to judge damage. So many jobs last expansion were top tier on the extremes and then fell off hard in savage, and vice versa.

[@LykosArt]

As a scholar I prefer to be paired with ast or sage. Might just be some of the whm I’ve been doing the trials with but oof

[@sc5the]

wait. so it’s the highest dps, but still has a raid buff, but when i say reaper needs to be second to samurai in dps only because it’s *cool* it’s heresy?

[@ruily276]

Why is it that every time another melee dps surpasses a sam in dps that it's immediately a problem?

[@sc5the]

@@ruily276 im tranna figure that out myself

"""""""dancer is a selfish dps""""""" ITS LITERALLY A TEAMWORK CLASS

[@Eliteriper]

"Dancers core rotation remains unchanged, its lower dmg output and focus on offensive utility contrasts with the machinist's Defenses and with a more selfish playstyle" I'm all for shitting on writers not knowing what they are saying but its calling machinist a defensive buff focused Selfish DPS. not Dancer.

[@NatiiixLP]

The article literally didn't say that. Stop making shit up. Just because strummer can't read doesn't mean KZbin comment frogs are allowed to act stupid. It said "[Dancer's focus on utility] contrasts with the Machinist's defences and [...] more selfish DPS". Man, western XIV players really have the reading comprehension of a watermelon. That sure explains why there are so many cutscene skippers and MSQ speedrunners.
