DRK needs re-tuning/buffing.

Blood Price is odd...

I don't see them giving back or improving Blood Price MP returns, though that is a good idea allowing native regen.

As poignant as the BP nerf was though, seems clear they knew what they were doing and had their reasons for moving the MP restore to Grit Siphon. That's why I think some additional effect of a different sort is plenty warranted. I'm hoping for a damage reflect - because ..tl;dr.. I'm a DRK main, kek.

A passive DR improvement by buffing parry, and a RNG damage reflect on parry procs (Low Blow resets baked into the CD essentially). Make those PLDs jealous. But BP being only available in Grit, it has it's drawback to PLD/WAR Shield Swipe & Vengeance.

Its more DPS in tank stance. Regarding that: compared to WAR/PLD, DRK has to be in Grit more, so it feels justified. Higher tank-stance DPS is less of a perk, more a necessity (though really WAR -25% needs to be reduced, among other things). But also the fact that it is a lvl35 ability is why I'm eager to see any additional effect.



I believe Dark Knight and Machinist are the only jobs with just one lvl 50 ability. MCH needs the most TLC, so I don't know if seeing a new ability being introduced to either DRK/MCH or both isn't plausible. Curious it is that the other extra Job AST kept Synestry instead of it going to the Role pool (lolRescue).
