Here are my 2 cents on Dark Kight:
-If this is a shield focus job, shields need to improve, TBN cost is too high and little return or none, Oblation cooldown is too high and no extra benefits compared to other jobs 25sec skills, two charges don't make for the lack of utility.
-MP management is a punishment, not a tax we pay to gain more DPS or mitigation. If it needs to stay for job personality ok, but we need something to gain ( Even Red Mage Res Tax for example is something understandable)
-No real useful ability to sustain, Abyssal Drain takes too long and shares cooldown with Carve and Spit. The same goes for Shadowed Vigil nice HP gain now but the cooldown makes it virtually useless on dungeons. And don't even mention Living Dead, if a tank job needs to use invul ability to recover HP, then something is really wrong.
-MP generation skills are a joke for a job mainly focused on MP management, Even paladin has way more skills to generate MP and honestly the job virtually doesn't need MP, I never run out of MP on Paladin.
-Big DPS skills potencies are underwhelming, Disesteem is the highest potency skill and goes up to 800 but no Crit nor Direct hit.
It starts to feel like YoshiP hates DK. In my opinion, it's the most punished job in every way.
