Tank you for DRK changes <3

I shelved my DRK once i got the armoured mount. Now i look forward to picking it up again for funsies!

Im very excited about this one. I believe DRK is a 2.5 job, so the bloodweapon stacks in my mind is out of this world awesome. No more rocket science needed with skill speeds.

Living dead change is gr8 too. Im elated that the invuln is a full 10 secs. Excellent last minute addition. I dont mean to look a gift horse in the mouth, but 1500 potency heal per GCD? Im assuming 4 GCDs during walking dead, so i strongly suspect that 6k potency healing is enough for the DRK to cleanse themselves on their own. No more relying on pesky healers, u can save urself. Ill take it.

Well, the INVL depends on how much time you had left on Walking Dead which is a minus, but i would love to try it and then say how i feel about it.
I agree, these changes are very good steps in the right direction. Even if Living Dead is objectively worse than other INV, it's now star systems away better than what we had, and gives DRK his own flavour :}
Bloodweapon having stacks is a change long overdue, and a very good one! As a 5 month long DRK main, im really really happy with those 2 changes, and i only hope DRK will have his Mitigation (The Darkest Night most importantly) touched. No other Tank has his DPS output tied to how much Health and mitigation he has before using an ability. Imagine Warrior would use Bloodwhetting, but if he's full health he doesn't get a free Fell Cleave.

I’m curious if the self healing will remain even after you cleanse walking dead since the invuln now continues after you cleanse it. Probably wishful thinking but would definitely give DRK an edge.

You're not invulnerable, just unkillable. Holmgang parallel, not Hallowed Ground. You are unkillable during Walking Dead and remain unkillable even after being healed 100%. Until today, being healed 100% dispelled Walking Dead and you lost whatever remaining time was left on the unkillability. Undead Rebirth just makes it so you continue to be unkillable for the whole duration even after Walking Dead is satisfied.

It's a good start for sure. I would have been stoked if they would have added at least a little bit more sustain on other abilities, but I'll take what they gave us for now. I REALLY hope PvP DRK is a testing ground for an entirely new build they are working on for PvE DRK.

U r correct, i quite forgot about that part, been so long i actually played the class :(. Hopefullly in the near future that gets addressed as well, but for now im content and look forward to trying out the new invuln.

I am so happy for these changes. 7 years in the making for LD. 5 for Blood weapon. Hopefully come 6.2 they can give us some sort of self sustain outside of soul eater and AD.

Yeah PLD had their sustain beefed up but nothing for DRK.

Oh, the sustain on Living Dead is magnificent.

It's amazing what a world of difference just addressing Living Dead and Blood Weapon does for the job.
