FFXIV - The Dark Knight experience 

When I get those WHMs who wait about 1-2 gcds before Holy spam it makes me feel again

Well,then just not mitigate at all when you just pulled a massive wave, since there’s a 95% chance the WHM will spam Holly. Also look for when they literally dive in the middle of the death ball of enemies as a que for Holly spamming. OR…. Turn off grit and pop TBN on the healer when they do preemptively bast regen on you and get targeted by a massive ball of death, then pop your stance back on an pull the enemies before the healer dies. (I’ll let you know I’m being slightly hyperbolic and thanks for coming to my Ted Talk)

@@ElZamo92No, no, keep going with that stance dance... those WHMs had it coming

Fuck holy

Why Arm Length Is Useless!

this is arm's length propaganda

@@KenanVonKaiser sides bosses it makes enemies attack 20% slower (including auto attacks!!!)

@@GameMa5Ter2O01 Meh!

Of joy?

release your hands, for your will drags us under

My legs grow tired, tell us where must we wander

How can we carry on, if redemption's beyond us

Yeah, being a healer when there’s a warrior is a boring experience in dungeons. Strangely enough, I don’t have any problem with Drk as long as they use their cooldowns correctly. If there’s a good tank and a good healer, you don’t need to use gcds. But if there’s a mediocre tank just pressing buttons in any order, you don’t need to heal at all

if you play with an intermediate SCH like me there's actually a small chance we'll ACCIDENTALLY do a good job with each other, since I have very little burst damage mop-up and if I panic and blow my cooldowns, it's just you and my faerie anyway, babyyyy! I have a feeling I am going to enjoy DRK tanks once I have practiced playing with one. I have luckily so far not screwed any over by accident. when I found out that was a possibility you should have seen me, life flashed before my eyes

DRK is a raid tank. WAR is the roulette tank. Played well either is good, but most people don't know how to work with each other so it ends up being a WAR-is-best thing cuz unga bunga is easier to figure out.

​@@reachinghigher4259what about pld and gnb?

​@@otarooyama8409Fish Tanks.

@@micahlindley7515 what is a fish tank.

@@otarooyama8409 all tanks are fine in all content. There was a time where you could argue that certain tanks were exclusively MT or OT tanks, but really all of them can do either role, just with varying levels of comfort and ease at the role they're filling. PLD and GNB don't have WAR levels of frequent self sustain, but they still have decent self healing tools.

How so? Stop you from breaking TBN? TBN will always break first, shield healer can’t sabotage you

Maybe you meant whm TBN rake priority over other shields

@@legacymse7095bad at game so will blame healer. the usual

It's worse when you have a DRK that doesn't use TBN

@@Corrderio it's worse when any tank forgets to use all their mits, as great as the class specific ones are I have had to remind my friends a few times that Arms length and reprisal are both mitigations and good ones at that

im really glad you like em, they are a pleasure to make

tbh if you're going to invuln, you're kinda expected to let the healer know and i'm not a healer main. when i do rouls i always let the party know that im going to invuln the first pack so the healer doesnt panic and waste big cds. sure as a pld its whatever cuz i just do a big pull and inmediately invuln but when i play one of the other three tanks i always let the healer know that im going to invuln so they dont panic and act accordingly depending which tank and their respective invuln im going to use. assuming the healer has to "adapt" to your invuln usage is when most problems come, like when i play gnb and i use superbolide and 1 sec later im back to full and the invuln gets completely wasted cuz i was too lazy to start the roul with "hi, im going to invuln the first pull", if i do this and still the healer panics and heals me back to full when i activate the invuln then its absolutely 100% healers fault for not reading party chat otherwise is kinda shared resposability, healer for not realizing my invuln is active but also me for not letting them know what i was planning to do.

@@BaghNakh1 Healers should always keep an eye on the status effects/debuffs/buffs that a party member has incase they need to use Esuna or maybe they used an ability that makes heals stronger on them so you don't need to cast as many to get them back to a good amount. I agree that you should notify your healer but it is very easy to see a tank use their invuln because of the flashy effects that they all have.

I mean, it’s a GREAT story

You like Warrior because they gave them Dark Knight's HW identity.

Just do it

Succumb, play the game

One of us..

Leave us Dark Knights be. The game already hates us more than enough. Don't kick the job that is already knocked down by SE... If you still crave revenge, better go and teach them Warriors a lesson to respect healers again :(

@@Max58183 Honestly most of the time, this kind of stuff is just us paying enough attention to try to keep everyone alive, but also not enough attention to 1 specific person. If you say nothing, I will heal you if you get low, etc. Such is the life of the healer main, frantically trying to keep idiots alive while not knowing what they were thinking. So if you have something specific, make sure to let your local healer know, only the greatest of us will know what you can do, the rest will just hope you know what you can do.

​@@Max58183nah we can heal ourselves better than healers can heal 😂 go teach pallys a lesson 😂

That’s why I always turn off stance n shirk half way just to spice things up then Living Dead stay Toxic Kings !

@@IBeJaMz🍷🗿

That or you just got better at healing. If a DRK has to pop LD, you have failed at healing.

LMAO i heal with SCH and its SO REAL doesnt help that i main WAR so my perception of what is considered an "oh no" moment has been completely destroyed

a pleasure

And after the Living Dead Rework DRK dont need a WHM anymore :D

Nooohohooo if I had to make a vid about all the issues with scholar it'd be my first 30 minute video in a while

dark knight does three things: puts up a shield that once broken gives them more DPS, and has 1 single aoe heal, beyond that they only have mitigation to keep themselves alive! what you want to do is after their shield is broken keep them alive with heals, OGCD (off global cooldown) if they know what they are doing the heals and their mit should be enough in case they are dying, a DRK that knows how their invuln work will pop "living dead" this ability makes it so once they drop to 1 hp, they become invulnerable to all damage and heal themselves massively! the idea being that if they are about to die let them use their invulnerability, and once they start healing up help them with shields, regens or a big heal hope this helps, if not id recommend looking up a guide on youtube!

keep your Swiftcast-Rezz up just in case the tank is a moron

Never. Trust. Anyone!

Warrior can clear every 90 level dungeon without a healer with no issues it has the best self sustain with its 25 sec cooldown shield mit 100% lifesteal ability bloodwetting and has the best AOE for dungeons with inner release and guaranteed crits and DR hits War if anything is slightly lacking in comparison to other tanks when it comes to hard content raids and bossfights since although its damage is good its not as good as DRK or GNB and altough its self heals are good its AOE mit and self mit isnt as good as any of the other tanks TL;DR: warrior is the ultimate, easiest dungeon tank, if you know what you are doing you arent gonna die. but for harder content with experienced teams it falls slightly short (but by like 1 to 2 % in all regards)

Same, it really needs its

DRK gets Shadow Wall at lvl 38 Living Dead at 50 Abyssal Drain at 56 The only thing that is rough is TBN being at lvl 70. The job is fine.

Ghostt!! I'm scripting the vid right now actually! Hope you like my videos jaja

healing on SCH is pretty easy tbh. For casual content it`s simply throw Excoc on the tank on cd, maybe Lustrate if you`re feeling fancy and your fairy-buttons on cd the rest is Art of War all the way

hehe shadowbringer goes brrrr

True. With massive dungeons pulls your TBN will break no matter what, even with a 40% mitigation. it’s always smart to use mitigation from the start, it will help you survive more than 30 seconds

As a DRK main, I will gona use Shirk to you as my answer to your transgressions, and turn off my tank stance

@@arolimarcellinus8541 I'm doing my job, what's your excuse imperial?

TBN breaks after a few seconds it’s insane (in wall to wall pulls). After that you’re left with 12 seconds of cooldown until it’s ready again. The longest 12 seconds of your life and the only thing you can do is mitigation and your abyssal drain.

As both a BLM and DRK: this is way too real

“No reason” Riiiiiiiiiiight

In the defense of oblation, since it's a 10% with two charges that can target anyone, you can stick it in a lot of places where you (or someone else) just needs that extra bit to get by. It's very flexible in that regard, especially since you can cover two targets at once.

GNB has better sustain over time, but DRK has 2 full heal buttons for aoe pulls, depending on dungeon pace you can get 3 LDs in if slower 2 if faster, DRK can space out things and be perfectly fine

ain`t gonna lie that sounds like a skill-issue

​@@zirilan3398agreed

I'd just turn my stance off

Wait, we're supposed to be brooding?
