Regarding no DRK adjustments in 4.1

Any more arguments?

Yeah. I'd like to put forth another argument with the theory that you don't know how to read at all.

In the very link you gave me HERE ARE THE FIRST WORDS:

Patch 4.1 Notes (Preliminary)

It's one thing to speculate that DRK won't get any changes but it's another to state it as a fact when you don't know for sure. I don't understand why that is so hard to grasp for you.

It is kind of cute seeing you struggle to find a good comeback to me though.

inb4 unmend 10 potency buff

please look forward to it

Dark Passenger now uses up all of your mana and does 10 less potency.

Also TBN is now party wide AOE but it doesn't actually do anything just looks pretty.

I thought you said they were changing something. LOL

Meh. It's pretty much over. Historically, the only difference between prelims and final are the items/recipes/etc. They don't want to tell us that X item will be used in X new awesome crafted armor because people will go log in right now and fudge up the market before the items drop. Don't want people getting a head start on market board shenanigans for items that don't exist yet. I really thought there would be a minor adjustment to potencies and/or TBN duration. Oh well. I was still playing nothing but war till I get my mount anyway before I start using drk more anyway.

Did you get a heart attack reading that then? lol

*sobs*

Lol no no, I was saying that like this is business as usual, I thought you said this was a change lol. Just being silly, it’s hard in text format

I mean.. Damn. It's the tiniest sliver of hope lol

Not looking good, though. I feel protest coming. #drklivesmatter

DRK is being demoted from Edge-lord to Edged-out-lord :P

AS someone who mains DRK. The Blackest Night seems like the most OP ability I've seen come out of SB. DRK MP is virtual unlimited so it's spammable mitigation every 15s. I love throwing this on the MT during busters and then hitting getting that sweet Black Blood, because 10% of my max HP is more than 5k HP and that stacks with other shields including TBN (tested this on o2s with another DRK).

Just saying things that have been said before, but the more complaints, the more chance of the issue being noticed. DRK is in a tough spot right now. While damage output is not far behind, they are now the only tank without defensive party utility. The Blackest Night's utility may sound decent on paper, but there are many faults the claim that this ability makes up for DRK's lack of real party utility. TBN is not able to shield up everybody for party-wide damage, and the occasion of being able to save a single party member, other than the co-tank, rarely happens. Using TBN constantly on the entire party, to create the closest feel of party utility, requires a lot more effort and risk (with little reward) from the DRK, thus not incentivizing the use of it. It's understandable that not all tanks should have party utility, but DRK has nothing to make up for that now.

Throwing one out costs 140 potency in effect as it's mana that would otherwise be used to Dark Arts a weaponskill (or C&S), so it's whether it breaks and the blood does get a gain (e.g. putting on the MT when pulling for an early Delirium) or you actually need the mitigation to pull off 10k damage from an incoming attack (5k if put on someone else), or just to avoid capping MP if that's a risk.
