Sounds like over kill. If DA buffed AD's potency then sure, but tbh.. healers are dropping Cure IIs on you whether you absorb or no.

I like green text flying across my screen as much as anyone, but if those DAs and ADs are going to keep you from using Dark Passenger as it comes off CD it's a dps loss

As DRKs we don't get nifty things like block or increased health and healing potency via Defiance (not to mention parry is unreliable as hell) so even though we are popping CDs, it feels like we are taking a good chunk of damage. I don't feel its overkill to help healers out on any healing intensive pull by using this method. I don't end up having any mana issues so personally there isn't any reason for me not to.

Also I've found locking Blood Price into a rotation to be a very bad idea. Had an event where suddenly my established rotation wasn't working at all.

Realized it was because this 1 WHM -- out of dozens -- preferred stun-lock Holy spamming at the same point of the fight where I was preferring to use Blood Price.

BP just need to stay aware and activate at the right times, which is very situational

Please add the icons in front of the names. At least for "Living Dead". It's always better for every healer to know they have to react and not just top you at 80/90% ^^ But if they don't recognize the icon while playing, well.. :)

They don't have to top you in fact but heal you for the amout of your max health.

Which is hard to follow precisely in the heat of the battle.

I wonder if it would be useful for DRK to wear more slaying accesories, thus reducing their max HP.
And that the difference in eHP is supposed to be balanced with the constant use of SoulEater and Abyssal Drain.

A new meta, maybe ?

Would be nice but I doubt the reduced HP would do DRK any favours against hard hitting tank busters, especially with their already limited physical mitigation ability.

Only one way to be sure...trying :)

I'll buy cookies for my poor healers afterwards, though ;)

After two Zodiac I have no more family member to sell for pentamelded accessories...

Is there a reason why we shouldn't apply scourge first before any combos? Consistency? I've been opening with unmend > plunge > scourge > DA power combo > keep up delirium and scourge and as much DA soul eater in between for tanking and haven't had any trouble all the way to aery so far, aggro wise.
