my biggest complain at lv57 is atm how lackluster souleater is, hp return is too low. at least the dark arts version should return more hp. maybe twice (or even more) damaged dealt. also why does it only absob hp in grit stance?
blood weapon just outside grit is meh aswell, but i can see how it is balanced. otherwse mp management would be non existant.

Abyssal Drain is awesome though. I felt undefeatable my first time in the vault.

Dark dance is too random to be useful on single target mobs imo. delirium is nice if you don't have a mnk in the pt. but both syphon strike finisher are just ok. i find myself often not doing them, just getting some mp back and going back into the higher dmg enmity combo. and this devalues the DA effect of power slash, as hate is never an issue this way

plunge and salted earth are nice, but just tools in the end that do almost nothing for tanking.


I do love the job though, but i still have to see how it performs on real stuff.
