DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Tegernako]

just look at our defensive kit after 4.0:

if only DRK had another damage reduction skill that say, reduced damage by 20% or something. Call it shadowskin or something that it could slot alongside rampart and shadow wall to make up for its lack of defensive CD's.


*edit, I just noticed that PLD gets 6 traits compared to DRK's 5 and WAR's 4.

War's only trait aside from increased Vit is infuriate reduction...bleh.


DRK gets blood on combos and...skills. Amazing...

PLD gets a flat 20% damage reduction for cover and the ability to cast any spell without interruption along side vit and oath gauge alongside everything else. Say what?

A new trait for DRK would be a nice chance to buff it I think.

For sure. This has been brought up a number of times in the DRK threads.

The fact that Blackblood and Enhanced Blackblood we're broken up into two different traits is ridiculous and it feels like this was just done to spread one thing out and make it seem like DRK has more traits than it functionally does. They should just be combined into one and have a new trait be provided to fill the gap.

A lot of the tweaks or additions to DRK abilities that have been put forth could easily be fit in as a new trait, for example the idea of expanding the capacity of the Blood Gauge, perfect fit for a new trait. With that as the new trait they could even keep the name of Enhanced Blackblood.

What other suggestions have been put forth?

[MauvaisOeil]

Most of the previous traits were baked into the spells and skills it actually changed, they only kept the passive stat gains and the new traits for stormblood.

They are not something entirely relevant, since blackblood baseline is given at the same moment a new spell is (Delirium) to give the basic functionnality of the gauge.

That doesn't mean the DRK is fixed somehow, but it's more an illusion of something that doesn't really miss, to look specifically at numbers of traits.

Welp prelim patch notes are out....no drk changes. RIP.

[DRKoftheAzure]

Yeah I might as well just not play the content in 4.1 and cancel sub now if I already know that they are not going to fix DRK until the game is near death and at that point it will be too late... They refuse to acknowledge DRKs problems as a tank to actually make it function like a tank instead of a glorified DPS... so that means I get to use that $30+ on WoW gametime card since Blood DK feels more like DRK than DRK ever did...

I'm probably won't cancel my sub with a new raid tier coming out, but I'm definately switching to paladin. Good luck y'all

Do it. The more people who stop playing DRK the better then.

If they don't do anything at all not only do we need to step up the criticism (without being toxic of course) but we need to simply stop playing the job altogether.

If it's just a matter of "oh hey, look at all the changes we made to other classes DRK is lingering behind because of the work overload." That'd be fine, but they they need to tell us that. And they don't say anything at all. That's the real issue. No communication. They don't even go "oh stay tuned".

Buffs or not Ill still be playing drk once I finish my war 300 mount. Evil kitteh is to awesome to pass up

I agree, the only way to see changes are to stop playing and just switch to something else. Hence my post, dark is already the least run tank in savage, might as well cut that number in half. And the sooner the better, ultimate tier comes out in two weeks. Maybe they'll start listening.
