DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Tint]

Today for instance healer died at around 10% on Zenos, I managed to keep the DPS a couple aoes up with TBN but I couldn't solo him at around 6%. I just feel really weaker in general and very squishy without TBN up.

just look at our defensive kit after 4.0:

Dark Mind
Shadow Wall
The Blackest Night
- that's everything wich actually reduces damage. one skill wich only works on magic damage, one skill with a super long cooldown, both skills have only 10 seconds uptime, and we have TBN.

then we have Living Dead and some selfheal from Souleater and Abyssal Drain.

this is your whole, personal defensive kit. i want to mention that PLD has a passive defensive buff through his shield and WAR has an increased parry rate with his Beast Gauge in tank stance, on top of everything else, while DRK has nothing compareable.

edit: oh, i have forgotten that you can spend half your mana bar for an aoe blind >.>

i was never into dps, i am a tanky tank who likes being tanky. but DRK doesn't really feel like a tank anymore. way too often i have to rely on the healer alone, since i have absolutely nothing to help him with mitigation, or i will feel even more sorry when the next buster comes and i already have blown my few cooldowns...
i was in Chrysalis through trial roulette lately and i felt like a noob eating all the tankbusters without any cooldowns... but what should i do? TBN is a lvl 70 skill and the busters are physical... Rampart and Shadow Wall are simply not enough for that fight...
