{{Collaborative Guide}}

==General Information==
* One of the original six Advanced Jobs, as well as the direct opposite of Paladin.

* Physical damage dealer (re: DPS).

* Has the highest base physical attack rating and possesses the most physical attack traits of any job in the game.

:* TLDR: Hits '''really''' hard.
:* ''Please don't be a R15 Calad / R0 Sakpata DRK. . .'' - [[User:Brahmsz|Brahmsz]] ([[User talk:Brahmsz|talk]])

===Roles===
* Dark Knight is primarily a Damage Dealing class, or in more modern MMO vernacular a DPS. Within the scope of FFXI, DRK is a Heavy DD (because of its use of heavy armor and whose primary weapons are two-handed great swords and  scythes).
* DRK fills additional roles in an auxiliary fashion such as:
:* An off-tank (with some finagling as a main tank);
:* A caster through its limited pool of enfeebling magic (which can be further extended using additional effect weaponskills);
:** As well as ''(but more particularly)'' through its unique line of Dark Magic spells.


* ''Dark Knight is a complex heavy DD to gear and play. You'll feel pulled to cast, but not too much. To take damage... but just enough. You'll debate TP phase vs. Weapon Skill phase damage ratios... and never feel completely satisfied. [DRK can be an] incredibly rewarding job to [deep] dive into and play in a variety of ways.'' -- Celebrindal

===Food===
'''Accuracy Options:'''
* [[File:Sublime Sushi icon.png|link=Sublime Sushi]] '''[[Sublime Sushi]]'''
* '''Stats:''' HP+40, MP+20, STR+6, DEX+7, MND-3, CHR+6 '''Accuracy / Ranged Accuracy+10% (Max. 100)''', "Resist Slow" +1.
** One of the best accuracy-based foods in the game.
*** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.

* [[File:Grape Daifuku icon.png|link=Grape Daifuku]] '''[[Grape Daifuku]]'''
* '''Stats:''' HP+20, STR+2, VIT+3, '''Accuracy / Ranged Accuracy+10% (Max. 80)''', '''Attack / Ranged Attack+10% (Max. 50)''', "Magic Attack. Bonus " +3. Mirrored Pet Stats.
** If Sublime Sushi is the best accuracy-based, Grape Daifuku comes in as a close second. Adding moderate attack in exchange for a small loss of accuracy.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 4,000 gil, 48,000 a stack.

* [[File:Seafood Gratin icon.png|link=Seafood Gratin]] '''[[Seafood Gratin]]'''
* '''Stats:''' DEX+7, MND+7, '''Accuracy / Ranged Accuracy+20% (Max. 70)''', Evasion / '''Magic Evasion+12% (Max. 60)'''.
** An honorable mention. A step down in accuracy, however, Seafood Gratin exchanges the further accuracy loss for a significant boost in magic evasion. (Which becomes a much bigger dealer in mid to late-endgame content.)
*** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.


'''Attack Options:'''
* [[File:Red Curry Bun icon.png|link=Red Curry Bun]] '''[[Red Curry Bun]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''Attack / Ranger Attack+23% (Max. 150)''', Demon Killer +4.
** One of the oldest attack foods in the game. Tried and true (if you have the accuracy to use it of course).
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 7,000 gil, 84,000 a stack.

* [[File:Popo._con_Queso_icon.png|link=Popo. Con Queso]] '''[[Popo. Con Queso]]'''
* '''Stats:''' STR+5, MND+5, '''Attack / Ranged Attack+20% (Max. 130)''', Evasion / '''Magic Evasion+12% (Max. 60)'''.
** Honorable mention. Introduced around the same time as the above Seafood Gratin ''(serves as the attack food version)''. 
*** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.

* [[File:Carbonara icon.png|link=Carbonara]] '''[[Carbonara]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''HP+14% (Max. 175)''', MP+10, STR+4, VIT+2, INT-3, Attack+17% (Max. 65), Evasion / '''Store TP+6'''.
** Honorable mention. Is an ''old school'' food item that definitely sees less use but still deserves a highlight due to the STP+ and the '''HP+%''' value (which can be abused for Drain 3 Shenanigans. '''Will come back to that later''').
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 4,000 gil, 48,000 a stack.


'''Specialty Options:'''
* [[File:Marine Stewpot icon.png|link=Marine Stewpot]] '''[[Marine Stewpot]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''HP+90, Accuracy/R. Accuracy/M. Accuracy +90, ''' Mirrored Pet Stats, -20 each.
** '''Group Food''' ''(~6 Party members within 10 yalms).''
** A highly desired food choice--particularly in endgame content and scenarios. '''Only exists as singles and does not stack.''' As mentioned in the above description, a Marine Stewpot will work on ''up to an entire party'' as long as each member is within 10 yalms of the person using it.
** '''Any party member with an existing food effect on will not receive the effect of the stewpot.'''
*** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.

* [[File:Riverfin Soup icon.png|link=Riverfin Soup]] '''[[Riverfin Soup]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''Accuracy / Ranged Accuracy +14% (Max. 90), Attack / Ranged Attack +18% (Cap: 80)''', Amorph Killer +5
** Honorable mention. Slightly stronger version of Daifuku. '''Only exists as singles and does not stack.'''
*** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.

* [[File:Gyudon icon.png|link=Gyudon]] '''[[Gyudon]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''Double Attack"+5%, Weapon skill damage +5%'''
** Introduced September '22. Largely speaks for itself. No addtional stats, so make sure you can actually hit something if you're going to use it.
*** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.

* [[File:Popoto Gratin icon.png|link=Popoto Gratin]] '''[[Popoto Gratin]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''Double Attack+5%, Store TP+5'''!!!
** Honorable mention. Very interesting food with a duration of 5 minutes but stacks to 99. Great for short battles.
*** NPC purchasable only. Available for purchase during [[The Green Festival]] in Lower Jeuno.


'''Defensive Options'''
* [[File:Om. Sandwich icon.png|link=Om. Sandwich]] '''[[Om. Sandwich]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''HP+11% (Max. 150)''', VIT+7, MND+7, '''Accuracy+11% (Max. 80)''', '''DEF+11% (Max. 120)''', '''Enmity+4'''.
** Introduced in [[The Voracious Resurgence]] mission-line. Comparable to [[Miso Ramen]] in HP and Defense; exchanging Magic Evasion and Magic Defense Bonus for  accuracy and '''enmity+'''.
*** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.

===Medicines===
* [[File:Echo Drops icon.png|link=Echo Drops]] '''[[Echo Drops]]'''
** Useful for when silenced and no one else can (or is able to) Silena you. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 700 Gil.

* [[File:Remedy icon.png|link=Remedy]] '''[[Remedy]]'''
** Useful for curing most debuffs curable with -na spells (ie: Paralyna). You can receive 12 a month for free from ambuscade. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 3,000 Gil.

* [[File:Reraiser icon.png|link=Reraiser]] '''[[Reraiser]]''' / [[File:Hi-Reraiser icon.png|link= Hi-Reraiser]] '''[[Hi-Reraiser]]'''
** Nothing wrong with keeping extra sources of Reraise in your pocket. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 1,000 and 1,500 Gil.

* [[File:Holy Water icon.png|link=Holy Water]] '''[[Holy Water]]'''
** Extremely useful to have, especially when spell priority or universal cool downs from back=line supports are bottle necked... Keep them stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 1,000 Gil.

* [[File:Panacea icon.png|link=Panacea]] '''[[Panacea]]'''
** Sometimes you are overwhelmed with a number of debuffs (like an [[Impact]]) that need [[Erase]] and this is much faster than waiting on a support to erase them. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 20,000 Gil.

* [[File:Vile Elixir icon.png|link=Vile Elixir]] '''[[Vile Elixir]]''' / [[File:Vile Elixir +1 icon.png|link=Vile Elixir +1]] '''[[Vile Elixir +1]]'''
** You never know when these might come in handy. Even for other party members... Great for putting in a bazaar for back-line supports when in a pinch as well! A single [[Vile Elixir]] or HQ can save you in those situations. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]]; 20,000 Gil for NQ. 40.000 Gil for HQ.
*** Often cheaper to buy off the Auction House.
*** A number of NM's and various content drop these for free as well.

* [[File:Antacid icon.png|link=Antacid]] '''[[Antacid]]'''
** Great for switching food on the fly when the situation calls for it. Keep a few, just in case.
***Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 1.000 Gil.

* [[File:El. Pachira Fruit icon.png|link=El. Pachira Fruit]] '''[[El. Pachira Fruit]]'''
* '''Effect:''' 1hp/tick Poison Effect for 2 minutes.
** Perhaps you aren't engaged and can't swap to a particular piece of equipment with a damage over time effect. Poisoning yourself is a good option. Keeps you awake when you know the mobs you are fighting will spam sleep. Keep a few on hand.
*** Purchased from the [[Ghemi Sinterilo]] for 154 Gil in [[Kazham]].

=====Notes on Great Sword versus Scythe=====
*Have had a series of discussions and conversations around Great Sword and Scythe use. In particular, “Which is best?”, “Which is stronger (strongest)?” So taking a moment to discuss this topic, in an abundance of caution that it has not been explained well in other sections. [[User:Brahmsz|Brahmsz]] ([[User talk:Brahmsz|talk]])

*'''So which is stronger, Great or Scythe?'''
**Well… the short answer is: '''They are equivalent..''' and it really depends on what you are doing.
**As one of the oldest sayings in FFXI goes, ''“Shit's situational.”''

*'''Let's do some basic compare and contrast:'''
**Scythes typically have higher base damage ratings than Great Swords. '''But what does that mean…?'''
***'''Example:''' It means melee hits with Scythes are always higher.
***''It also means Scythes have a higher damage ceiling than Great Swords. More on that later.''
**Great Sword endgame Weaponskills do more raw damage.
**Scythe Weaponskills have better Skillchain properties. '''But what does that mean…?'''
***'''Example:''' It means Scythe Weaponskills link together easier to create long(er) Skillchains. Skillchain damage can (in some cases) mirror or overtake the damage your Weaponskill does by itself.
**Scythe Weaponskills, generally speaking, have more utility use. '''But what does that mean…?'''
***'''Example:''' Using: [[Guillotine]] to silence; [[Infernal Scythe]] to lower attack; [[Entropy]] to restore MP; [[Catastrophe]] to restore HP.

*'''Advanced Notes:'''
**As mentioned earlier, Scythe has “a higher damage ceiling” than Great Swords does. This has to do with Physical Damage Limit.
**As mentioned in the introduction, Dark Knight has the highest job trait tiers of both Physical [[Attack Bonus]] and [[Smite]]. Dark Knight also has the highest tiered trait of Physical [[Damage Limit+]] (Link provided).
***'''Put as plainly as possibly:'''
****Physical Damage Limit (PDL) is a function of “Physical Differential” (pDIF). PDL+ increases the maximum damage multiplier of pDIF, based on a ratio of Attack versus target Defense (for example, 2:1).
****Every weapon type has its own ratio maximum. Scythe PDL is 4.0 versus target Defense, where as Great Sword is 3.75 versus target Defense. '''But what does that mean…?'''
*****'''Example:''' If an enemy has a Defense rating of 1,000.. the player character’s damage caps off at 4,000 Attack with Scythe; and 3,750 Attack with Great Sword.

===Weapon Skills===
<hr style="border-color:"black">

====Great Sword====
{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 1600px"
* '''[[Shockwave]]''': Learned at 150 Great Sword Skill
:* One of the earliest utility-based weapon skills you can learn.
:* Functionally a short-ranged Sleepga centered around the player. Use it for larger pulls to make it easier for cures and tanking.
:* A full Accuracy & Magic Accuracy set such as Flamma +2 from [[Ambuscade Rewards|Ambuscade]] will land this on most fodder mobs.
:* Because of Shockwave's AoE (Area of Effect) nature, it can be [ab]used to whittle mobs down around the player with little consequence.
:* You can use a full set of [[Fallen%27s_Armor_Set|Relic Reforge +2 or +3]] to increase it's physical damage and still maintain a high level of Accuracy & Magic Accuracy.
|-

* '''[[Ground Strike]]''': Learnable at *250 Great Sword Skill '''minimum''' via the Weapon Skill Quest [[Inheritance]].
:** Accessible when equipped with [[File:Kaja Claymore icon.png|link=]][[Kaja Claymore]] & [[File:Nandaka icon.png|link=]][[Nandaka]] from Ambuscade.
:* 75 cap Torcleaver.
:* Great for opening, connecting, and/or closing skillchains with both Fragmentation and Distortion skillchain properties.
|-

* '''[[Herculean Slash]]''': Learned at 290 Great Sword Skill.
:*  Low damage Ice-base Weapon skill.
:* Offers utility in its ability to paralyze mobs that you use it on. The paralysis may not be very potent but still worth keeping in mind.
|-

* '''[[Scourge]]''': Accessible when equipped with [[File:Ragnarok icon.png|link=]][[Ragnarok]].
:*Relic Weapon Skill
:* One of Great Sword's two Light skillchain property weapon skills and the '''only''' Fusion skillchain property weapon skill.
:* Alternative Great Sword Accuracy Swaps have made using [[Ragnarok (Level 119 III)|Ragnarok]] even more niche for this reason.
:* Scourge is a great skillchain linker for Great Swords on Dark Knight and provides an alternative for multi-step Fusion & Fragmentation into Light skillchains.
|-

* '''[[Resolution]]''': Learnable at 357 Great Sword Skill '''minimum'''. Requires Merit Points to unlock. Pleas see [[File:Merit Point-Icon.png|link=Merit#Weapon_Skill_Merit_Points]]
:* Dark Knights ''second best Great Sword weapon skill.''
:* Seeing as Resolution is a TP replicating weapon skill, the key is focusing on multi-hit proc's for spike damage. If a swing misses in the weapon skill, '''you will notice.'''
:* Resolution also offers utility in its Fragmentation property when fighting mobs that absorb skillchain damage (ie: Light skillchains from Torcleaver spam, or when you don't want to skillchain with the current "Meta" weapon skills like Savage Blade).
|-

*'''[[Torcleaver]]''': Accessible when equipped with [[File:Caladbolg icon.png|link=]][[Caladbolg]]. Learnable after completing [[Kupofried's Great Sword Moogle Magic]].
:* Empyrean Weapon Skill
:* By far Dark Knights ''strongest Great Sword weapon skill.'' Boasting an 80% Vitality modifier, you would want to stack as much [[Vitality|VIT]] and [[Weapon Skill Damage|WSDMG]] as you can.
:* Also scales '''extremely''' well with TP overflow, so the higher the TP you use this weapon skill at, the more damage you get out of it.
:* Pair this up with [[Caladbolg (Level 119 III)|Caladbolg]] and watch your overall damage soar. Even when solo, spamming light skillchains will do insane damage to mobs that aren't light based.
|-

*'''[[Fimbulvetr]]''': Accessible when equipped with [[File:Helheim (Level 119) icon.png|link=]][[Helheim]].
:*Prime Weapon Skill
:* On par with Torcleaver.
:* Stat modifiers and TP scaling are extremely competitive, but added bonus of having a 3-step skillchain into Darkness to boot.
:* Tethered to [[Helheim (Level 119 III)]] or [[Helheim (Level 119 II)|(Level 119 II)]]; Can only be used within [[Sortie]] with the [[Helheim (Level 119)]].
|}

====Scythe====
{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 1600px;"
* '''[[Shadow of Death]]''': Learned at 70 Scythe Skill.
:* Dark-base Elemental weapon skill which scales with TP.
:* Offers niche utility as an Elemental weapon skill. As such, Shadow of Death will never miss outside of special circumstances such as a magic shield.
:* Great for times where [double] Darkness weather can be [ab]used and / or for when Perfect Dodge or Invincible is active. 
|-

* '''[[Guillotine]]''': Learned at 200 Scythe Skill.
:* Bread & butter Scythe weapon skill for Dark Knights of a certain age (75 Cap Era).
:* While lacking in the damage department, Guillotine serves two great purposes:
:** Skillchain connector for a four-step Light skillchain with Scythe.
:** As well as having a moderately high chance of landing Silence on most everything short of mobs with Resist Silence job trait.
|-

* '''[[Cross Reaper]]''': Learned at 225 Scythe Skill.
:* Dark Knight's ''strongest '''Scythe''' weapon skill'' by far.
:* Much like Torcleaver, Cross Reaper scales well with TP & is a necessary component in a standard three to five-step double Darkness skillchain.
:* While Cross Reaper may not be tied to an Ultimate weapon, it pairs very nicely with Anguta for ridiculous levels of damage.
|-

* '''[[Spiral Hell]]''': Learnable at 240 Scythe Skill minimum via the Weapon Skill Quest [[Souls in Shadow]].
:** Accessible when equipped with [[File:Kaja Scythe icon.png|link=]][[Kaja Scythe]] & [[File:Drepanum icon.png|link=]][[Drepanum]] from Ambuscade.
:* 75 cap Cross Reaper. Has fallen out of prominence due to positive adjustments to Cross Reaper and both weapon skills having the same skillchain property of Distortion.
:* ''Mentioning for historical reference moreso than for actual use.''
|-

* '''[[Infernal Scythe]]''': 300 Scythe Skill.
:* A 99 cap updated version of Shadow of Death.
:* In order to differentiate the two weapon skills, Internal Scythe '''does not''' scale with fTP, ''but also'' '''has no dINT modifier''' ''(Difference between player Intelligence and Mob Intelligence).''
:* Infernal Scythe also serves a utility purpose in lowering mob attack by 25% for a minimum of 3 minutes, similar to [[Weapon Break]].
:* Damage from Infernal Scythe won't be nearly as high as other weapon skills but definitely deserves an honorable mention.
|-

* '''[[Catastrophe]]''': Accessible when equipped with [[File:Apocalypse icon.png|link=]][[Apocalypse]].
:* Relic Weapon Skill
:* Relic-based weapon skill and Dark Knight's bread & butter entry point to soloing.
:** One of the two relic weapon skills Dark Knight has access to (the other being the greatsword skill Scourge).
:* Catastrophe has a static fTP value.
:** '''However''', the drain effect itself scales with TP (~70% of damage dealt).
:* With a fully upgraded (Afterglowed) item level 119 Apocalypse, Catastrophe's attached Aftermath effect offers +10% Job Ability Haste, easing off dependence to job abilities such as Last Resort, Hasso, or Haste Samba for capping melee delay.
|-

* '''[[Insurgency]]''': Accessible when equipped with [[File:Liberator icon.png|link=]][[Liberator]]. Learnable after completing [[Unlocking a Myth (Dark Knight)]].
:*Mythic Weapon Skill
:* Dark Knights second best<sup>1</sup> ''Scythe'' weapon skill.
:* Primarily a damage weapon skill, Insurgency is unique in that it utilizes both multi-hit as well as front-loaded damage.
:* Similar to Scourge, Insurgency is the only Fusion option in the Scythe category.
# '''Requires''' fully upgraded [[Liberator (Level 119 III)]] in order to reach fully realized damage potential.
|-

* '''[[Quietus]]''':  Accessible when equipped with [[File:Redemption icon.png|link=]][[Redemption]].. Learnable after completing [[Kupofried's Scythe Moogle Magic]].
:* Empyrean Weapon Skill
:** Dark Knight's other Empyrean weapon-based weapon skill.
:* Quietus has a static fTP value, but bears special mention for the fact that its special feature is "Ignore's Enemy Defense" starting at 10% (1,000 TP) up to 50% Defense Ignored (3,000 TP) which shines in lower buffed scenarios.
:* Quietus is the second Scythe weapon skill with a native Darkness skillchain property (with a sub-property of Gravitation), making it another excellent closer for a multi-step Darkness skillchain.
|-

* '''[[Entropy]]''': Learnable at 357 Scythe Skill '''minimum'''. Requires Merit Points to unlock. Pleas see [[File:Merit Point-Icon.png|link=Merit#Weapon_Skill_Merit_Points]].
:** Accessible when equipped with [[File:Anguta icon.png|link=]][[Anguta]].
:* Originally, a Merit Point weapon skill, Entropy was updated as an Aeonic weapon-based weapon skill.
:* Entropy's fTP value does not climb that high (starting at 0.75 to a maximum of 2.0).
:** However, Entropy is an fTP replicating weapon skill which means all swings hit at the same functional value. Which helps to close the gap in damage.
:* Entropy serves a significant utility purpose for Dark Knight in replenishing the player's MP pool by 15~20% of damage dealt.
:* When equipped with an [[File:Anguta icon.png|link=]]Anguta, Entropy gains a native Darkness skillchain property and unlocks the Aftermath effect of Level 4 ''Ultimate'' skillchains, Umbra & Radiance.
:** ''Skillchain damage gains a noticeable increase as well.''
|-

*'''[[Origin]]''': Accessible when equipped with [[File:Foenaria (Level 119) icon.png|link=]][[Foenaria]].
:*Prime Weapon Skill
:* On par with if not straight surpassing Cross Reaper. Added bonus that it restores HP & MP.
:* TP scaling is very generous!
:* Offers a simply 3-step Light skillchain option.
:* Tethered to [[Foenaria (Level 119 III)]] or [[Foenaria (Level 119 II)|(Level 119 II)]]; Can only be used within [[Sortie]] with [[Foenaria (Level 119)]].
|}

====Sword====
{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 1600px;"
* '''[[Savage Blade]]''': Learnable at  240 Sword Skill '''minimum''' via the Weapon Skill Quest [[Old Wounds]].
:** Accessible when mainhand is equipped with [[File:Kaja Sword icon.png|link=]][[Kaja Sword]] & [[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]][[Naegling]] from Ambuscade.
:* Scales well with fTP and TP overflow.
:** Does not synchronize well with Dark Knight's current playstyle.
|-

* '''[[Requiescat]]''': Learnable at 357 Sword Skill '''minimum'''. Requires Merit Points to unlock. Please see [[File:Merit Point-Icon.png|link=Merit#Weapon_Skill_Merit_Points]].
:* Requiescat was originally a Merit-based Weapon Skill which primarily served as a utility weapon skill for serving out Non-Elemental damage.
:* Skill ability reads as "Attack power varies with TP".
:** As such won't see much use outside of situations such as breaking through a specialty damage shield.
|-

* '''[[Sanguine Blade]]''': Learned at 300 Sword Skill.
:* Honorable mention. Castrophe without the Apocalypse.
:* Falls under Magic Weapon Skills, so will never miss, but... has a dINT stat attached.
:* Heavily influenced by MAB as well as Darkness affinity accessories.
:* Retains a static fTP value but the drain effect scales with TP (50% to 160%).
|}

====Axe====
{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 1600px;"
* '''[[Mistral Axe]]''': Accessible with a [[File:Beryllium Pick icon.png|link=]][[Beryllium Pick]] & [[File:Beryllium Pick +1 icon.png|link=]][[Beryllium Pick +1]].
:* A single-hit "ranged" weapon skill ''(usuable up to 15 yalms away)''.
:* Scales extremely well with TP and offers the Fusion skillchain property.
:* Only downside is Mistral Axe lacks a second weapon skill modifier and relies heavily on its 50% STR modifier.
:** Perhaps this was done for balance purposes.
|-

* '''[[Decimation]]''': Learnable at 240 Axe Skill '''minimum''' via the Weapon Skill Quest [[Axe the Competition]]. Accessible with [[File:Kaja Axe icon.png|link=]][[Kaja Axe]] / [[File:Dolichenus icon.png|link=]][[Dolichenus]] from ambuscade.
:* Mulit-hit weapon skill. Damage does not scale with TP.
:** However, Decimation is TP replicating and offers the Fusion skillchain property as well. Making it a highly effective weapon skill with minimal gear investment.
:* Highly recommended for new and returning players just starting out without REMA weapons.
|-

* '''[[Ruinator]]''': Learnable at 357 Axe Skill '''minimum'''. Requires Merit Points to unlock. Please see [[File:Merit Point-Icon.png|link=Merit#Weapon_Skill_Merit_Points]].
:* Essentially a Merit Point-based variation on Decimation.
:* In order to differentiate the two weapon skills, Ruinator Was given a 10% attack bonus and the Distortion skillchain property.
:* Ruinator primarily serves more as a skillchain connector than a source of damage.
:* Still worth keeping a point in if you can swing it. (No pun intended)
|}

====[[Great Axe]]====
{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 1600px;"
* '''[[Armor Break]]''': Learnable at 100 Great Axe Skill.
:* Learned at an even lower skill level than even Shockwave.
:** Armor Break is the earliest and one of the most effective utility weapon skills a Dark Knight can use.
:* Armor Break focuses on lowering the mob's defense, offering a Defense Down effect of -25% defense ranging from '''3 to 9 minutes''' based on the TP value used at.
|-

* '''[[Full Break]]''': Accessible when equipped with [[File:Hepatizon Axe +1 icon.png|link=]][[Hepatizon Axe +1]] & [[File:Hepatizon Axe icon.png|link=]][[Hepatizon Axe]].
:* Full Break is a combination of all the Great Axe weapon skills, but each effect is a lower potency than their individual-based weapon skills
:** Lowers mob attack and defense by 12.5% and lowers evasion and accuracy by 20 points.
:*Same as Armor Break above, the duration is based on TP value used at, at a minimum of 3 minutes.
:** Individual effects can each be resisted independent of one another.
|-

* '''[[Fell Cleave]]''': Learnable at 300 Great Axe Skill.
:* Excellent crowd control/cleaving  weapon skill that deals damage based on [[Weapon Skill Damage|WSDMG]] gear as well as your [[Strength|STR]].
:* Damage does not scale with TP...
:** However, Fell Cleave's Area of Effect expands with higher TP values.
|-

* '''[[Upheaval]]''': Learnable at 357 Great Axe Skill '''minimum'''. Please see [[File:Merit Point-Icon.png|link=Merit#Weapon_Skill_Merit_Points]].
:* Strongest ''Great Axe'' weapon skill Dark Knight has access to. Period.
:* Merit Point based weapon skill; eerily similar to Insurgency (except for a high weapon skill modifier).
:** Utilizes both multi-hit as well as front-loaded damage and is yet another option for the Fusion skillchain property.
:* Is well worth keeping around, especially if you were to make a [[Lycurgos]].
:** ''But that's a point to explore later on.''
|}

====Club====
{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 1600px;"
* '''[[Judgment]]''': Learnable at 200 Club Skill.
:* The club equivalent of Savage Blade.
:* Scales extremely well with TP.
:* Great for situations where slashing damage may not be feasible or blunt damage is far more exploitable.

Hopefully.. with other people! Upgrading your "Ambu" gear should be one of your biggest priorities after establishing a baseline 119 set from above. So work on pieces from both the Flamma and Sulevia sets as you go along!

The Flamma Head and Feet are pretty great, as well as the Sulevia hands, legs, and feet. You'll have uses for pieces from both sets for '''quite a while.'''

====DT & TP Hybrid Builds====
<hr style="background:black">
<big>*'''A few notes on DT Sets and the advancement of TP Hybrid builds:'''</big>
:*There is no true "Best in Slot" (BiS) DT or Hybrid TP build.
:*Going back as far as the introduction of Ambuscade on up to Odyssey, Dark Knight (as well as many jobs) has seen a proliferation in DT-% (and to a lesser extent PDT-%) gear that also doubles as excellent TP options.
:*Your Mileage May Vary... depending on what you have access to and what you have the patience to attain.
:**'''So once again, use these sets as benchmarks to gauge where you stand as well as decide how & where you can improve your own gear builds/sets.'''

*Ratri gear is easily accessible (with 500 JP invested).
**Reisenjima augmented gear is still a fine alternative that can be utilized for other purposess down the road.
*Ratri set is worth keeping around for Dread Spikes Shenanigans, but I would advise upgrading from it quickly.

*In this particular case, Ratri Legs are in here for the STP it gives to Multi-hit Scythe weapon skills like Insurgency & Guillotine. I've found I fall short of a 4~5 hit without them personally.
*Hit builds become less of a concern when using a Liberator in sets II through IV.
**If you don't have a Liberator; are using Insurgency without one; or don't plan on making one in the future, my personal suggestion is keep the Ratri Cuisses/+1 around in case.

=====Enfeebling Magic=====
*Though not used often in group content, Dark Knight does infact have access to Enfeebling Magic. Dark Knight has access to the majority of darkness aligned Enfeebling spells (with a glaring exception to Blind). When properly geared for it, a DRK can easily toss an additional sleep, break, or Bind to help in a pinch.
