DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[NymeriaVelaris]

I don't think that TBN is "designed" as a break-even skill; its value is dependent on several external variables

You think its a coincidence TBN is a break even skill despite being dependent on so many variables?

I doubt that. Its obviously intended this way. The changes in past patches were just fine tuning to reach the current sweetspot.

Having TBN commit to being a consistent gain would promote its use. You are not a White Mage. TBN is not a poor man's Divine Benison. This is a shield which triggers a counterattack. It would be nice to actively try to get procs off of your teammates, rather than feel like you need to hold off shielding because it's a dps loss and you no longer need the extra buffer outside of prog.

It is no dps loss on average though.


Sole Survivor is a very weak skill with a 2 minutes cooldown, ofcourse it doesnt affect DRK dps by much.


TBN has a 15 seconds cooldown.

Currently in a 10 minutes fight the average DRK uses TBN around 5-15 times while being able to optimize dps.
If a successful TBN would be a significant DPS increase, it would mean an average use of 3-4 TBNs per minute if you want to optimize your dps.

It would require 30-40 successful TBN uses in a 10 minute fight for max dps.

An insane skill ceiling increase and a nightmare to optimize.
And if you are doing any content which doesnt have enough outgoing damage DRK dps would always suffer.
