Not finding DRK squishy at all.

[Aleisterz]

Healer main here. It really depends on the DRK. There are some absurdly squishy ones that take all my tools, efforts, and biggest heals to keep vertical. Sadly, right now there's a lot of these.

Then there's also DRKs that feel pretty much as sturdy as PLDs.

As more people learn the job, I'm hoping we'll get less of the ultra squishy kind and more of the sturdy ones.

Pretty much this. I'm a 60 Drk and I have been told that I'm very sturdy. I only really use my CDs for attempted speed runs or when I think a healer pug isn't doing a good job, my friends who are WHM and SCHs do just fine and find themselves dpsing a lot more with me tanking. I have not tried any extreme modes yet because I'm not fully geared yet. I'll maybe post my experience on extreme once I've done it.

I feel right now Drks are like WAR when ARR launched and we'll be fixed in a matter of time in regards. We'll def see Drks tanking till then but they'll be the ones that know their stuff. xD

I'm definitely gonna level up my WAR to 60 though because of them skills they got and I see them as highly wanted now plus just to be safe if I can't get a static because they do not want a Drk for the time being. d(o-od)

That's what it feels like to me as well and I'm sure that they will be tweaked/fixed/whatever you want to call it, hopefully soon or at least by 3.1.

Me, I'm keeping on with DRK despite the current setbacks because the cadence of Dark Arts usage just feels correct to me, can't quite explain it, and if I push myself to perform as DRK is now I will be even better when the adjustments do come.

Probably going to use PLD, my old main, as my secondary tank since I see their support based toolkit being more different to DRK than what WAR has, that and I do like support abilities alot.
