It could definitely use a change, but they haven't fixed Holmgang yet, so I have no hope for Living Dead getting many adjustments either.
Benediction not working is a bug. The problem is that Bene just "resets HP" it doesn't "cure" as far as the programming is concerned. So it's not removing the debuff (although someone in another thread claimed that a bene they received actually did remove the debuff). I'm sure that will be fixed.


It's to the point where I'd say Drk IS cripplingly below PLD. Less so below War, but War is still leagues ahead, especially right now seeing as it's Warriors time to shine, and they seem to be the most demanded tank currently, even in MT situations.

Personally I feel as if Drk doesn't do that much more damage than a Paladin could do to where it'd actually be considered an advantage. Drk's have nothing on a War's DPS either, especially if the War knows how to stance dance. In a Drk's case, we cannot enable Grit without using a GCD, and a retarded amount of MP. The MP requirement of which I always thought was just silly.
Again, I don't think it's cripplingly lower than either, nor is WAR "leagues ahead". PLD is definitely the "safer" option for MTing, but end-game content won't be impossible for DRKs. OT they have the advantage over PLD and aren't far behind WAR. For min/maxing groups, it does leave DRK in a bad position at the moment since those groups likely won't want a DRK.

However, I do want to say that a PLD in Shield Oath and a DRK in Grit, the DRK does far more damage than the PLD. Far more.
