About Dark Knight
I have been reviewing discussion threads such as "Is Dark Knight too strong?" and I realize as I commented at Vana'fest that they have become stronger over time. At the same time, we put off many of the adjustments that were initially considered, but many people remembered these and were still interested.
For Dark Knight, we plan to make adjustments to Last Resort and Desperate Blows.
In the current situation, for all jobs, the equipment/magic haste maximum is the same. However, as far as abilities go, Desperate Blows is, by far, the highest value of all of them.
If we simply reduced the value of Desperate Blows then it would just become weaker, so, instead, we will reduce the value of Desperate Blows but also move some percentage of the haste effect to Last Resort:
Current status:
* Desperate Blows Haste maximum +25% (assuming 5 merits)
Adjustment:
* Desperate Blows: Haste maximum +10% (assuming 5 merits)
* Last Resort: Haste +15%
To clarify, we will make this adjustment so that the haste is effective even if you have your sub job set to Dark Knight.
Presently, it's difficult to imagine a situation in which someone would choose dark knight as a sub job. However, I think after this adjustment, a number of new possibilities will be opened up to allow it to be considered.
Thanks for all your responses regarding battle mechanics.

Looks like a nice sub now. I cant wait to try it out. Extra 15% haste and mini berserk. 3min Duration.
Looks like a step in a good direction for Pld.
