I just finished the 70 job quest for DRK and it felt so right unlocking TBN. Gaining a new, powerful ability with narrative weight and justification gives those good good RPG vibes.

[emmacatte]

ah yes, a video about the objective, subjective and absolute best class in every final fantasy game to exist. No, I'm not biased. btw your glam is on point once again

[NerfsDJ]

As a DRK main this warms my cold edgy hart :')

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.

Since I always loved playing Greatswords in games like Monster Hunter and Dark Souls I picked up DRK when I came to Ishgard and it never let me go again.
The job quests are one of my favorite story, DRK itself is fast and fun to play and it finally managed to bring the fun of tanking to me.

[leonardosuarezsanchez]

Despi talking about DRK with the mandatory DMC music on the back
Yep perfection incarnated
Was missing this

[sonartech]

That was a BADASS INTRO. Holy hell!! Didn’t expect to open the vid and go straight into head banging. AWESOME!!

[Kyuuren]

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!

[TheZman]

At this point, I would love each of us to come together and just gush about DRK. I love the job so much.

[Incaru]

You remind me why I listen to bury the light everytime I play DRK

[olkapolka]

Just started drk and loving it!!!! My first tank ever... how did i go so long without trying it! Awesome

[Last_Man_Alivv]

That "Together!" made me think of all the times me and another DRK used TBN on each other

[Curinteru]

What a wonderful video, I love DRK! he's my main after DRG <3
Thanks for the video, Desp!

[JamzP]

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.

[spiralfox]

I literally just started playing Dark Knight like an hour before this video lmao

[colemcgrath]

I can smell the Xeno’s reaction coming

[AlessailaSC]

xeno cameos fucking killed me great job

[joshstill]

Omg...Yoshi sipping on wine watching Xeno. That made the video for me😂

[XernuhtZwei]

DRK just carried me through 3.0 and I'm already in love with it more than PAL or GNB. That said, I would be totally down for some minor skill shuffling to get TBN at Lv. 60 maybe? Maybe shove Carve And Spit down to Lv. 58, too?

[chrispreczewski]

I was meant to be the Warrior of Darkness...

... so long PLD
