    I've never had a problem with Reprisal needing a Parry. Its a *reprisal* after all. But DRK needs something else to make it a competitive OT other than close-to-WAR DPS and a not-unique-to-the-job-debuff.

    PLD at keeps all of its utility in either role with Shield Swipe being the only thing truly lost.

    While I understand the concept of the ability and how what it currently does makes sense with the name, the problem is that it (and Shield Swipe for PLD) is too locked behind MTing and doubly so when the debuff that Reprisal brings is/could be huge for raid utility which many of us agree DRK really needs.

    While it would be requiring less attachment to the name, I still think making it so that you can DA+Reprisal or Parry proc+Reprisal would potentially be the simplest solution to making Reprisal more useful.

    Being able to apply the Reprisal debuff as OT plus something like the Sole Survivor MP refresh idea you presented earlier (one debuff and one buff) would do wonders to for DRK OT utility.

    Well...As OT, you could always be a daredevil and attempt to Dark Dance Parry a cleave from a boss to get a Reprisal debuff.

    DA+Reprisal would be nice to see. Maybe grants 10% damage buff along with the 10% reduced damage already given to the boss.
