Dark knight bossing

Are Dark Knights decent bossers? I saw they were 10th on the dps chart but im not really sure how all that works. I'd really like to know cause i wanted to make a UA drk (not for the skill but i just always wanted a drk)

[quote=Aznsolidierz]They wud be good at bosses that dont move like zakum for example but suck at bosses like empress where the minnions fire 8k lasers at u and u cant get a shot off to heal urself while pots on recharge. We'll have to see how much the mini flash jump helps in the buff.[/quote]

You can already easily hop over Empress's Summons, and those attacks barely scratch you. You shouldn't even see yourself getting hit because of Wisdom, unless you're at the back AFK.

Mikhail and Eckheart are the only two problems at Empress. Only a handful of Dark Knights on this section can survive a hit.

but you'll notice there are no 1/1 skills at any bosses with potion cooldown ;p

That, and a passive 200% damage boost.

Dark Knights have an average damage output. They are top 10 on paper, but does that really matter practically?

There are much more factors to include when bossng. Survivability is one.

@RedRhino23: just saying, i just rephrased all that was in this topic, i didn't add anything new.

dark knights being "10" on the DPS charts mean they have good strength, but as ivege said, their survivability takes the best away.

You're accusing me of a troll in [i]this[/i] thread?

Clearly you cannot detect 'trolls' properly.

@RedRhino23: they boss well until they die, which, as ivege said, is pretty often considering your best boss skill drains your HP, and you got no defenses against 1/1's.

A few things. This is a forum, I am free to comment on anyone posts.

To answer your post, no he didn't ask me. But guess what? I also didn't answer him.

I mean, afterall I [i]was[/i] quoting (and talking to) you. Mistakening yourself for someone else is...

Non-MS scanlations are so LQ.

and slow.

Wow, KHR's babies are so disappointing in the chapter. Hibari's shocked/cornered face is sexy though.

Actually the post which you called useless and is not the post which you called useless for calling a post useless is also telling the post it quoted that is is useless as well, effectively making you the one with more useless posts.

Yeah you didn't, since you asked about a DrK's bossing ability and then talked about their rank in the DPS chart you read. Even then you didn't ask about their damage output and only how it (whatever "all that" is) worked.

[quote=RedRhino23]that wasnt really the question i asked but good to know i guess[/quote]

That wasn't the question you asked: Well, duh, that would be [b]spam[/b] if I questioned your question with your own question. I don't spam, ofcourse
That wasn't the answer to my question: Yes it was. It just wasn't the answer you were expecting.

You asked if DrKs were decent bossers, and my post implied a big NO (<- big) with everything I said being negative.

[quote=RedRhino23]I saw they were 10th on the dps chart [b]but im not really sure how all that works[/b].[/quote]

It [i]doesn't[/i] work. There are always other things to take into account like what I said in my previous post. Anyway, [b]even if[/b] DrKs were 10th on the dps chart, there are only 21 or so classes in the game excluding Cygnus Knights.
