Dark Knight (FFXIV) vs. Death Knight (WoW)

[Dreadmoon-saurfang (Dreadmoon)]

Yes, I can’t argue that specific point of lost glory (and loss of an absolute answer to that question)… though I suppose one can argue that the player character from WoW would be unable to withstand that strike.

In the Antorus Raid, the battle against Aggramar has him use the Flame Rend technique; which I would posit as being a rough equivalent to the strike which the player was pulled out of in that cutscene. This needed to be countered by stacking up to split the damage and reduce the knockback greatly.

Whether or not that’s a valid argument?
Well, that’s part of the fun here.

Thanks for ruining my class fantasy Raelhorn

Seeing some giod comparisons here. I find it interesting that some people are pointing out that Dark Knight only being able to tank is a weakness- however that doesn’t make much sense as I believe most Tank vs DPS encounters in WoW ends with the tank winning 100% of the time.

With that in mind, tanks in FFXIV aren’t wet noodles- their DPS was buffed in the recent expansion. DRK especially is much more powerful than before.

Also, Dark Knight does indeed have its health-restoration ability baked in to its rotation. Death Strike requires RP to use, doesn’t it?

I know nothing really about the Dark Knights but I am quite sure they would easily defeat a Death Knight.

Humm, well I don’t play FF so…

I’ll have a go with my Death Knight WoW vs my Dragonknight ESO.

Er… maybe I shouldn’t really do that, I think my Dragonknight would win…

The first time the US was introduced to the Final Fantasy Dark Knight, he :

• Got fired from his job
• Got conned into burning a village
• His girlfriend rejected him
• Got knocked unconscious and ended up lost on a beach.

After that, he got so fed up with the Class that he literally main-swapped mid game to being a Paladin.

So seriously, using FF Lore. Dark Knights suck.

Yeah but that’s someone else’s fault for not localizing II. Because the first Dark Knight that actually happened spent a whole war playing both sides, got away scot free, and was one of maybe two guest party members who wasn’t complete garbage.

He was a total cringelord, sure. But he didn’t suck.

I really enjoy reading your comments. You seem like a very positive person that always makes lighthearted comments

Maaan ffxiv visuals and animations are top notch. Really cannot understand why WoW wont make unique animations for most of our skills like they did in ffxiv. I might get shadowbringer if it goes on sale next year and shadowland is still far from being released.

Dark Knights can enter a frenzy where they can just spam-blast an enemy with their strongest attack over and over and over, while also blasting them with sword lasers. (Delirium+Bloodspiller with off-GCD Edge of Darkness)
Death Knights… can’t.

Deathknights can empower themselves with runic energy to unleash a blast of ice equivalent to a dragons while unleashing a flurry of attack from massively sized rune blade b(^_^)
