DRK feast BUFF

Drk is still too underwhelming in the feast compared to that of a warrior or paladin. I don't have suggestions but something should be done. Binding is harder now also with no ability to communicate with team, im interested to hear other DRK opinions in feast.

DRK works as debuffer, you got aoe bind, aoe blind, aoe heavy, you can reduce the damage inflicted by enemies, you can increase the damage taken by enemies.

DRK also does incredible sustained damages that are likely goin to waste enmy healer mp.

Some good drk players on primal dc in the feast

Sustained damage would be nice, if this was what decided games, but it doesn't. A decent healer will never be run OOM by a DRK - healing through burst will do that. DRK has a large and useful toolkit, but to get the most of it takes so much much effort than if you just played Warrior (which bursts harder than a DRK) or a Paladin (which has better support and control than a DRK).

@kai_lee
Really only see one, and he does really good dmg but doesnt seem to provide as much as other tanks still

There are actually 2 really good DRKs on Primal, but the other one plays MNK a lot.
Idk about buffing DRK any more, the 2 guys I'm referring to can pull 170-180k in a match and I've only seen a WAR do that...once. As a melee I find it really annoying to deal with 2 x heavy and bind.

That plunge onto unsuspecting enemy boxes at start of match = trolololol

DRK sustained damage is excellent, but they cannot burst like Warriors can, Warriors over the course of games will have less damage at the end than most DRKs - but they are likely to be more effective with it (which is overall why they will frequently have less total damage than a DRK at the end of games, because they can't hit something that's already dead :P). That's where the problem is, SE thinks that's fine and balanced, but in meta it's not because things are more burst heavy as opposed to rot (which is why you'd think SMN bane is fantastic, but actually it doesn't do much and the stack is better off just being used on flare/fester/drain)

From what it looks in the Benchmark Trailer DRK is getting an ability to shield allies...which I think is neat, considering that DRK does not have a lot of party support.
