DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[TouchandFeel]

Okay, but riddle me this, why were they so hell bent on removing this skill from our single target rotation? Its not like it was THAT powerful or overcentralizing, it was just a button we pushed that was slightly more efficient than DASE but less so than DAC&S... Its not even like it wasn't designed for that purpose, hell back in the old HW job trailer, the DRK used it on a single target dummy, so its not like it wasn't intended or its place in ST rotations was an oversight. Idk I just don't get it. I really wish I could fathom their thought process behind what they've done with this job.

My guess would be because of Quietus being added. They wanted abilities based off the Blood Gauge that would fill most of the major use niches, single target DPS, AoE dps, resource/buff management. So they gave us Bloodspiller, Quietus and the new Delerium. Then they saw that DRK had too much AoE potential and so nerfed the crap out of DP to greatly limit it's use.

Honestly at this point, they should just reduce it's MP cost and change it's focus to be less on damage and more on debuffs/utility. For example, move the blind to the standard DP and give it something even better with DA+DP like maybe a 5s stun. Not saying this is what they should do, just giving an example idea. Essentially shift it's purpose to give it a purpose again.

I agree with moving the blind to standard DP. Right now 2.4k for a 100 potency skill makes absolutely no sense (and 1100 extra mana for the oGCD doesn't either).
