DRK - Excessive Dark Arts

[GunZLegend]

Yea im not sure why they added it to syphon strike tbh, to add more choice perhaps? i very rarely get the opportunity to DA my syphon strike at 70 because i have so much more to spend it on xDpersonally i think that more choice would be better served in something like the form of a Dark Passenger that has a watered down Scourge DoT so that it w
ould still be viable in single target aswell and also give more options in regards to how you spend your MP, while also adding a small layer of complexity by adding back in dot managaement to some extent.

Dunno why you don't DA Syphon considering you just get the mana you spent on it right back unless you were incredibly low. The playstyle is fine, but after reading so much of the changes, it bothers me how you have such an active boost in damage and yet DRK still deals the least amount of damage compared to the other two tanks. (Why is the Greatsword wielder doing less than the Sword and Board class?)

Paladins are broken. Don't lament something that's going to be nerfed.

Because breaking a class done right for once is just that much easier than fixing the others.

Exactly this. PLD is in a great spot and is perfectly balanced; its only that the other 2 tanks are undertuned and should be brought up to PLDs level, it shouldn't be the other way around. DRK and WAR need adjustments, not PLD.

Yup, and as a result i rarely find myself using DA on syphon strike unless it's during a Delirium + BW window or if i can get a whole load of mana back quickly by using sole survivor on a add or something and even then i rarely use it. i simply dont understand the choice behind making Syphon strike being able to be enhanced by DA.

I think it was something made for lower level tanking where you would have excess mana.

Because you DA syphon still only gives you one DA worth of mana. When you also have Soul Eater, Carve and Split, and Blood Spiller fighting for a DA, as well as TBN also using a DA worth of mana, its a no brainer why you wouldn't always use DA on syphon strike. Syphon strike is the -last- thing you'll use DA on.

Try to think about the class as a whole before posting.
