When main tanking as Dark Knight, it's better start in Grit stance to generate emnity and then go into Darkside. This makes Dark Knight valuable as both main tank and off tank, as they can change their stances when needed. Using Darkside and Grit together make the Dark Knight the powerhouse of the tanking jobs, only getting a 5% damage reduction while still constantly generating emnity. There are a few moves in the Dark Knight's roster that require Darkside to use, and unlike other stances used by tanks, Darkside can be used while in Grit stance. While under the effects of Darkside, the player's damage dealt is increased by 15%, while their MP slowly drains. The effects of certain actions change while in Grit stance - some recover HP and others debuff enemies. However, it also reduces damage dealt by 20%. You'll want Grit stance active when main tanking, as it reduces damage taken by 20% and generates emnity. Both of these stances have their good sides and bad sides but knowing when to use them is key to tanking as a Dark Knight. The Dark Knight uses MP for almost everything, and that little pink bar can drain really quickly if you don't watch what you're doing.Дark Knights have two 'stances' that they can utilize to decrease damage or increase damage and emnity. This means that if you want to keep emnity, do decent damage, and mitigate damage, then you'll need to have plenty of MP handy. Dark Knight is unique from the Paladin and Warrior in a lot of different ways, primarily in that it mainly uses MP instead of TP.
