Dark Knights are HIGHLY Alignment dependent for ability success and damage.   I would highly recommend aligning all the way to EI below level 100, to save yourself the time of doing it later.  Any mob beneficent or righteous or more so good will get you to EI.  Few DKs follow the vitality advice on the physical / healing side (except perhaps War) often opting for less healing due to vigor & more overall Hps
