A new tank stance to fit Dark Knight better

[Nektulos-Tuor]

So a tank buff that falls off if you run out of MP. Because that isn't fundamentally stupid.

You are not getting what I am saying. It seems like you did not read Blood Weapon and Blood Price. I also don't really care what the developers said, most of them have gone back on their word several times already. I am not "hung up" on the idea, I think it just fits the theme, the lore and the story of the class. As long as you give it proper ways to greatly mitigate the price its fine.

10% of all damage received *heals* you. *Blood Price*
10% of all damage done heals you. *Blood Weapon*
10% of all damage received is converted to MP. *Blood Price*
10% of all damage done is converted to MP. *Blood Weapon*

All you have to do, is manage your MP and HP like EVERY other class in the game, which you seem like people incapable of doing because it is a little more complex. People are smart, not stupid. I don't believe you are stupid either.



While they are up, they completely counter the price and even offer increased healing if done and used correctly.

No, your suggestions will make the tank EXACTLY like the warrior, and WORSE. Warriors are stance dance tank that absorb their attacks with greater health. Exactly as you described, and they switch stances. They also have debuffs that reduce the mobs damage and buffs that heal them over time and restore health and TP. THAT IS A WARRIOR. If you want to play a warrior, be a warrior!

You copied and pretty much described exactly what a warrior is. I don't want Dark Knights to be a warrior!

Yes, if you do not manage your resources you will lose. That is a "VERY" unique concept to the game and honestly fun!

This means you will have to use your skills wisely!
