What's the best way to use limbal rings? I'm expecting some people to make them clash horrendously just to be obnoxious or whatever but I'm trying to use them to accentuate eye color. Any thoughts?

Heard good things about going with 'darker than eye color' instead of the robot neon look.

That's almost impossible, though, since even the dark limbal colors are pretty light.

Have they talked about cross class yet? I'm wondering what will be CC for DRK. I'd guess just defensive cooldowns...

They post preliminary notes with all the specific details stripped out and then the full notes on patch, or well expansion, day.

In that case I will wait for someone to point out the important parts of these full notes.

Differences between preliminary and full notes. As you can see there's not exactly a wealth of new stuff in the full notes.

I got my Summoner to 50 and now I'm pondering my choices - keep grinding trough the story content till the expansion and get DRK, or finish up my WAR :black101:

How's DRK tanking compared to WAR actually? Lots of people seem to think the class is very squishy compared to the older two tanks.

They're kind of a cross between warriors and Paladins in a lot of regards. They have three 123 combos like warriors, and one of them heals you, they have a cross between flash and overpower (that doesn't interrupt 123 combos, which rules), and they've got most paladin cooldowns and Holmgang, which is great.

That being said, they're more complex than both. You have to keep dark side up at all times which can be hard if you're not used to keeping your mana up. Siphon strike and blood price are typically enough but if you mess up you basically have to drop grit and pop blood weapon, which means you take 20% more damage while you're tanking until you get mana back. You can mitigate it with shadowskin but that's a wasted cooldown.

Plus there's another ability you get at 45 that augments a lot of your core abilities/cooldowns, and it costs like 15% of your max mp (at a guess), so that has to be managed too.

So you have to manage hp and mp and your stances but all things considered it's more fun than warrior and paladin and I have both at 50. (Technically now I have all 3 at 50 :black101: )

Man, that sucks. I'm glad i decided to level MCH before DRK then, because the more i hear about DRK the more underwhelming it sounds.

Other than the cool sword factor, which is very good.

tbh as hilarious as it would have been if it worked on allies it would have been essentially useless, this way it's slightly more boring but way more useful

guys help i am having a crisis

now that leveling is actually not hilariously obnoxiously fast i'm wondering if i should actually level as a DRK to 60 or if I should go back to MNK

on the one hand DRK is fun and I enjoy tanking with it, on the other hand I really also like MNK and the new skills address most of the problems I have with them

that being said i feel like at this point dps will be in higher demand than anything else for statics since loving everyone is leveling a tank

help what do i do

Between that and dark passenger being off the GCD I think maybe people don't like DRK because the don't understand the brand new class. It's quite shocking.

That being said, I have yet to see a good machinist in my path while leveling DRK, and I have to ask if the class is fundamentally not good or if it's just the players. I don't know which one it is because I only did the level 30 machinst quest and decided it wasn't for me, so I can't even tell if the machinists I get are doing it wrong or what.

I had to make a dungeon macro for LLDR that spams DO NOT USE KNOCKBACKS ON MOBS PLEASE six times and I inevitably used it at least twice every dungeon. People see an off GCD button and just press it.

I don't mind if they use it on bosses at all, that's great. It's kind of the same problem Dragoons have, where Leg Sweep is just itching to be pressed. The difference is Leg Sweep doesn't reposition things, which is ideal.

Hey I'm garbage at macros but I need to make one for Living Dead because no one seems to know what it does. Is there a way for it to check if LD actually procs, and if it does, THEN it posts something in chat? (If I activate LD and get to 0 HP I get a different debuff, so ideally it will only say something like "hey you need to heal at least 100% worth of my HP or I'm gonna die", otherwise I don't want to bother posting that)

also it's weird because the tooltip makes it sound like I need to be at 100% HP, but I just need to be healed for 100% of my HP, which is nice but still confusing

It functions exactly like one of the mechanics in the Siren fight in Pharos Sirius. The effect ends once you hit full health. Also no, there is no way to have the macro go off only after you have "died". Best you can do is "Yo! I popped Living Dead! I'm about to die from something probably, so let me die! Remember to heal me back to full though after or I'll actually die for reals! Thanks!"

Oh is that how that works? Alright, I've heard conflicting reports.
