6.1 Dark Knight

Here's what I would do (or would love to see happen)

The Blackest Night: Duration 7s -> 8s
Blood Weapon: 5 Stacks Duration 30s
Bloodspiller: Cure Potency 300
Quietus: Cure Potency 300 (acts like Abyssal Drain)
Salted Earth: Aura that follows the Dark Knight (might be difficult to work for a patch)
Living Dead: Remove healing requirement
Abyssal Drain: Removed (do we really need this?)

I would love for Salted Earth to also decrease the damage output of any mobs that are standing in it by 10%. Similar to a secondary Reprisal (which used to be a DRK only ability anyways)

Sounds cool but I think it risks adding one more Defensive cooldown over the other tanks (they didn't like us for having TBN for the longest time) however adding a slow like arms length might work because that doesn't work on bosses.

DRK has already got the worst self-sustain during trash pulls, we don't need to kneecap it any further

That's what the 300 heal potency to quietus is for.

Eh, GNB has significantly more defensive cooldowns. I think DRK could stand to have 1 more.

We have the same amount ... well more if you count Oblation (I wouldn't fault you if you didn't). Are they better than GNB, god no but the DRK have the same amount and I think that is what the devs will look at.

Honestly I wouldnt get your hopes up. I see them fixing blood weapon and Living dead and thats it. Anything else would be a surprise.

Oh I'm not naive, I don't think this will happen ... just what I would love to happen. Its not impossible with the amount people have been complaining about it ... but I don't think it will actually happen.

It would be heartbreaking had Abyssal drain being removed, one of the most powerfull and awesome skills from his original kit removed bcs the dev team make it so irrelevant it would be better not having it at all, i'll rather they rework it or just make it more usefull again instead of asking for his deletion. #NoMoreHW-DRKskillsRemoved

I'd prefer switching AD to a GCD with MP cost rather than deleting it and attaching heals to Quietus, it would make MP management a little more interesting at least.

Then they better increase the MP recovery of Syphon Strike to 1000mp like PLD.

I think a 300 potency heal on Bloodspiller is a little too weak. Paladin's offensive spells have a healing potency of 400 each. In the case of Bloodspiller/Quietus, it requires 50 Blood or Delirium stacks to use, so bumping it up to 400 or maybe even 500 wouldn't be too overpowered, imo. I wouldn't mind losing Abyssal drain if this was the case.

I'd say 500 unless they increase the rate at which we gain blood stacks

To be completely honest I would be over the moon if we got ANY healing.

I'm expecting Living dead to be put on the same CD as Holmgang and nothing else.
