DRK Adjustments via Manifesto

[Leonlionheart]

Yeah after playing with it a bit, I agree.

This crap needs to be something like 5 minute recast, 3 minute duration WITHOUT losing potency.

Who are you fooling? It's not like DRK DPS is all of a sudden going to sky rocket because of this ability. DRK can STILL die you know.

My dark magic fast cast is where....?

Something useful like Terror is where....?

Drain III....is where?

Haven't had chance to play on the test servers myself due to work and I doubt I will anytime soon. But after all your feedback, I'm disappointed like the rest of you. And it's hardly like I was one of the people wanting/expecting a lot from it.

If it's that weak then I agree it's virtually worthless. On anything that can proc it reasonably quick, nelees will sponging that much that they won't be widely used. And for everything else it will take too long to activate and/or the mobs be that squishy that it barely matters.

Well there's the slim hope one of our WS'es has been buffed or something I guess.

They haven't touched weaponskills like Quietus, or if they did it's not noticable...

I agree with all of the problems Scarlet Delirium. They need to increase it to at least 3 mins with 5 min recast. 1 min to take dmg to build up the dmg boost is way too short. Hell what if your fighting a mob thats very melee reistant and your best bet is to cast crappy tier 3 nukes? Odds are your not gona make it in time to take dmg and cast it. Or just bearly make it.

They should make this a 3 min duration with 5 min recast. So we can take the required dmg to gain the boost.

Make it so lose half your max hp and still make it a 3 min duration with 5 min recast. ExamplePlayer has 1200/1200 hp / Player uses Scarlet Delirium. Player now has 600/1200 hp.)

Or they could make it so Scarlet Delirium reduces your max hp by a % like how Diabolic Eye does. Or reduce your max hp and mp.

Just some ideas.

I have yet to get a testing chance due to work but in abby if you manually attempt to cancel the hp buff does it count as hp loss for SD?

I feel so sorry for DRKs everywhere, i absolutly love the job, but it's pathetic they can sit here and feed a "golden bottle" to jobs like SAM and WAR but they are to afraid to give drk what it needs,

a critical based WS this is a must at this point, sure war can dish out 8k+ Ws but if drk does it? oh that is to unbalanced, no sir.

DRk 'gives up" so much but the output is only half at best of what a AH DD can do without really trying.

I would love to know why SE holds DRk back so much, is it the Kraken club days? is that it? i feel like it's just some sort of "you stood me up on our date so i'll have my revenge" type of thing. dispite it's flaws i have hope that MAYBE one day they will see and listen to these pleas. again, the Power WAR and SAM dish out is proof enough the "balance" thing is out the window with DDs. Giving up HP/stats/ whatever else with DRK is all fine and dandy SE but at LEAST make it WORTH giving up, i don't see DRKs Use souleater much because it simply dosn't matter anymore. LR update was a good start. let's take it from there.

Wow someone that finally understands a dark's frustration. The haste cap started this vicious cycle downward and it has kept on going. I believe the 1st developers were dark enthusiast where the new ones hate dark with a passion to prod us with hopes of love then only giving minor help if any. Then on top of all this they say LOOK HOW MANY THINGS DARK HAVE.. yeah.. useless is useless. LR was the only thing in the last years that helped dark but is overshadowed by the many other updates to other melee especially if you have LS brds/cors/dncs for events.

I'd say give us a Drain WS, and make Spiral Hell crit with different modifiers. Spiral Hell has never been very useful, only at 300%, full buffed, maybe with /THF.

I like how there's a billion posts to feedback via the devs in the Bard and Scholar threads, all the time.
