Boycotting Dark Knight

[Bourne_Endeavor]

I definitely demand Scourge back. There are literally zero reasons to have taken it away, it was potent and fun to use. That would be a huge step towards a nice fix for me, and it's easy as heck to put it back.

I, too, want Scourge back, but instead of a dot, I'm thinking it could combo off Syphon Strike like old Delirium and maybe fill your blood gauge faster. Not only does that help with Dark Knight's low DPS by allowing for more Bloodspillers, but adds a much needed alternative to spamming Souleater.

I would actually greatly prefer this to a combo ender DOT.

I liked old Scourge because it wasn't behind a combo; it was great for multi-dotting stuff quick. I don't really think a combo DOT like Goring would be all that great for DRK's current playstyle since they break up their three step combos with Bloodspiller/Quietus, and the nature of a DOT that's on GCD is that you want predictability. Delaying your three-step combo with 1 or 2 Bloodspillers could lead to potentially dropping the DOT (or capping on blood to put the DOT up) depending on the situation.

Whereas if they made Scourge not disrupt the combo and be a standalone DOT like old Touch of Death it could work, but they aren't going to go back to non-combo DOTs for most jobs, I feel.
