==Merits==
*Group 1

*[[Last Resort]] Recast 5/5

You want to reduce the downtime of this ability. 5/5 takes out 50 seconds from the recast. Minimal downtime = Higher DPS.

*[[Last Resort]] Effect 5/5

Meriting this at 5/5 will reduce your defence by approx. -34.77% (89/256) it raises your attack by the same amount, making it easier to hit the attack cap of Mobs/NMs Dark
Knight itself can almost cap it's attack on apex mobs with just this one ability. Pairing this up with Hasso, you can expect more Job Ability Haste and attack.

*[[Weapon Bash]] Recast 0/5

If stuns are really REALLY needed, you can merit into this, but you are going to severally nerf your DPS if you merit out of Last Resort Effect/Recast.

*[[Souleater]] Recast 0/5

Since this is already so niche, meriting into this does not really help in DPS.

*[[Arcane Circle]] Recast 0/5

Arguably worthwhile to merit into if you are doing omen to keep up an offencive edge against the Caturae. Though with proper buffs, and Last Resort merited, it should be dead
before Last Resort wears off.

*Group 2

*[[Desperate Blows]] Effect 5/5

This will, and always will be maxed out at 5/5. The amount of haste you get off of this ability will cap you when you only have 30% magic haste. But it still stacks, so using
this at capped haste only makes you swing faster. Even though it says it will reduce delay, it will not hurt your x-hit (TP/hit).

*[[Diabolic Eye]] 4/5 or 0/5

The only real need for this is when you are not accuracy capped, and need the boost. But if you have a Bard in the party, accuracy should not be an issue.

*[[Dark Seal]] 1/5 or 5/5

Use this with Nethervoid, and a proper drain set, you can net yourself with 3000-6000 extra HP. If you ever so happen to burst Drain 3 in a skillchain. you will cap your HP at
9999.

*[[Muted Soul]] 0/5

Almost never a need for this if you have a proper tank, but if you have Caladbolg with a good set, you could merit this 1/5 to help controlling enmity.

==Support Jobs==

* '''[[Samurai]]''' is usually the go to option to maximize DPS.

* '''[[Thief]]''' Useful for [[Sneak Attack]] [[Torcleaver]] for high weaponskill damage and skillchain in shorter fights.

* '''[[Ninja]]''' is great for defensive purposes.

* '''[[Runefencer]]''' is another defensive support job for tanking or defendive purposes.

* '''[[White Mage]]''', '''[[Red Mage]]''' and '''[[Scholar]]''' could be useful for lowman, solo or party without good support.

==Weaponskills==
Dark knight has access to variety of weaponskills which are useful for different situations.

===Great Sword===
'''[[Torcleaver]]'''

By far Dark Knights best weaponskill. For this, you would want to stack as much [[Vitality|VIT]] and [[Weapon Skill Damage|WSDMG]] as you can. It also scales extremely well with TP overflow, so the higher the TP you use this weaponskill at, the more damage you get out of it. Pair this up with [[Caladbolg (Level 119 III)|Caladbolg]] and you are most likely going to be pulling hate from any tank in the game.
Even in solo practice, spamming light skillchains will do insane damage to mobs that aren't light based.

'''[[Resolution]]'''

Dark Knights second best weaponskill. But that does not mean it doesn't do damage. Resolution can do insane spike damage, though if your first hit in the weaponskill misses, you will see a major drop in damage. The only real use of this weaponskill is for mobs that absorb light damage from Torcleaver skillchain spam, or when you do not want to skillchain with other weaponskills as it's skillchain properties don't skillchain with most other "meta" weaponskills.

'''[[Scourge]]'''

Outside of an accuracy swap or unbuffed situations, using [[Ragnarok (Level 119 III)|Ragnarok]] just isn't that good on Dark Knight. But with that being said, it can still pump out a lot of DPS on things that take really good damage on light skillchains, as Scourge is a really great skillchain linker for Great Swords on Dark Knight.

'''[[Shockwave]]'''

It's a Sleepga weaponskill, not much more to say. Use it for larger pulls to make it easier for cures and tanking. A full set of Flamma +2 from [[Ambuscade Rewards|Ambuscade]] and Magic Accuracy and Accuracy in all other slots will land this on most fodder mobs. If you want to whittle mobs down with this AoE, you can use a full set of [[Fallen%27s_Armor_Set|Relic Reforge +2 or +3]].

'''[[Herculean Slash]]'''

Low damage ice weaponskill. It can paralyze mobs that you use it on, but it's not very potent to anything with a slight resistance to paralyze. It can give you an offensive edge though, so use it on anything that's worthwhile.

===Scythe===
'''[[Cross Reaper]]'''

'''[[Entropy]]'''

'''[[Catastrophe]]'''

'''[[Infernal Scythe]]'''

'''[[Quietus]]'''

'''[[Insurgency]]'''

===Great Axe===
'''[[Full Break]]''' (Hepatizon Axe or Hepatizon Axe +1 only)

This weaponskill can put some offensive edge to whatever you are fighting as it lowers the attack and defense by 12.5% and lowers evasion and accuracy by 20 points. The effect stacks with: Dia, Box Step, Defense Down, and Geo-Frailty. Does '''NOT STACK''' with Acid Bolts, Angon, Spirit Surged Jumps, Tachi: Ageha, Shell Crusher, Tenebral Crush, Sweeping Gouge, Tourbillion, and Frightful Roar as well as itself.
The weaponskill effect can also be resisted by the mob.

'''[[Armor Break]]'''

Similar to Full Break, this weaponskill only focuses on lowering the mob's defense. Defense Down effect is -25% defense.
This effect can also be resisted much like Full Break.

'''[[Fell Cleave]]'''

Great crowd control as this weaponskill deals damage based on [[Weapon Skill Damage|WSDMG]] off gear as well as your [[Strength|STR]]. It is recommended to use this WS at 1K TP as the damage does not go up with higher TP.
Be ready to counter all the damage you are about to receive with [[Dread Spikes]].

'''[[Upheaval]]''' (Merits Only)

This is a very niche weaponskill, as you will only really be using it for fights like [[Mauve-wristed Gomberry]] where you [[Fell Cleave]] to kill the adds and spam it while he is staggered. You can get by without using this weaponskill and using [[Spinning Scythe]] to kill adds and doing a 4 step on Mauve-wristed Gomberry.

'''[[Catastrophe]]'''

'''[[Infernal Scythe]]'''

'''[[Quietus]]'''

'''[[Insurgency]]'''

===Great Axe===
'''[[Full Break]]''' (Hepatizon Axe or Hepatizon Axe +1 only)

This weaponskill can put some offensive edge to whatever you are fighting as it lowers the attack and defense by 12.5% and lowers evasion and accuracy by 20 points. The effect stacks with: Dia, Box Step, Defense Down, and Geo-Frailty. Does '''NOT STACK''' with Acid Bolts, Angon, Spirit Surged Jumps, Tachi: Ageha, Shell Crusher, Tenebral Crush, Sweeping Gouge, Tourbillion, and Frightful Roar as well as itself.
The weaponskill effect can also be resisted by the mob.

'''[[Armor Break]]'''

Similar to Full Break, this weaponskill only focuses on lowering the mob's defense. Defense Down effect is -25% defense.
This effect can also be resisted much like Full Break.

'''[[Fell Cleave]]'''

Great crowd control as this weaponskill deals damage based on [[Weapon Skill Damage|WSDMG]] off gear as well as your [[Strength|STR]]. It is recommended to use this WS at 1K TP as the damage does not go up with higher TP.
Be ready to counter all the damage you are about to receive with [[Dread Spikes]].

'''[[Upheaval]]''' (Merits Only)

This is a very niche weaponskill, as you will only really be using it for fights like [[Mauve-wristed Gomberry]] where you [[Fell Cleave]] to kill the adds and spam it while he is staggered. You can get by without using this weaponskill and using [[Spinning Scythe]] to kill adds and doing a 4 step on Mauve-wristed Gomberry.
