In the absence of a drastic overhaul to DRK's entire toolkit, I think that bringing back Scourge would at least put a reasonable dent in the performance deficit DRK is currently in, as long as it's actually Scourge, the 1-GCD non-combo DoT, and not a cut-rate Goring Blade combo finisher.

It wouldn't fit into 4.x DRK's toolkit nearly as cleanly as it did in 3.x, given the addition of Bloodspiller, but it wouldn't necessarily need to.
Thank you.

So many folks keep asking for Scourge to be added as a ghetto Goring Blade because they want more complexity without realizing that a combo ender DOT would be absolutely awful on DRK because their rotation is not predictable due to Bloodspiller.

If they do add Scourge back (which I wouldn't necessarily mind), it needs to be like old Touch of Death on MNK: Single hit, and NOT break combo.
