DRK needs re-tuning/buffing.

Blackest Night is 15 Sec RECAST What CD doe other tank have is 15 sec RECAST.

Did you want exactly 15 seconds or would the 5 second recast and 10 second duration of Sheltron suffice? True it only blocks one attack but it's been up every time I've wanted it so far.

Hmm doesn't have utility though. Like an intervention to damage taken by 10%, on a 10 second timer, with a duration of 6 seconds.

As far as sole survivor as mitigation... only if you have an add phase and usually there is some down time after the phase for heals to find you. If sole survivor worked more like blood weapon for hp/mp/blood I could agree.

95% of add phases in this game is boss vanishes -> adds -> heal up! -> raid buster, but i guess like, technically it's a self-heal. It's not mitigation though w

Primals, sure. Most raids I can think of have adds that show up and die while something else is on the field being tanked, even if it's not the main boss. Almost every fight in Alexander raids did this (actually maybe all of them?). Usually you're casting Sole Survivor on something your party members are killing while you tank another thing. It's not super reliable, but the healing is nice. Not necessarily agreeing with whoever you guys are arguing with, but I used a ton of Sole Survivor in HW and I see a lot of people neglecting it.

Anyway, for DRK buffs, all I really want is Dark Passenger to be free (or worth its MP on a single target) and for Souleater to have some healing outside of Grit. If they really want to add some utility to it, I'd have DA Dark Mind give your party members 10% magic mitigation.

Oh they should also swap the levels of Delirium and Bloodspiller, holy hell leveling DRK was stupid.

Oh yeah now that you say it i guess that's true for the earlier floors, hmm. When I wrote my last post i kinda just went over the Creator fights in my head. For A9S, the adds only really are there while the boss isn't doing much. For A10S the only adds basically die with the boss. A11S the boss is invincible during Lapis, and A12S the boss plain does not exist during adds.

I'm not saying it's a bad skill, I'm just saying there's a lack of opportunity to use it.

Agreed, in particular given the duration it is usually useful about 1 time per fight.
