We (maybe) did it. DRK is being looked at.

While It would be nice to have DRK compete with NIN for TA, it currently wouldnt, due to the fact when TA ends, the DRK can put up their own vuln on the enemy.

So the TA effect needs to be like the old virus, where the enemy cant be made vuln again for X amount of time. (I'd assume 50s, with 48s being more effective))

I'd argue more on NIN getting trick attack fixed to be phys only. And DRK getting a magic version. No need to go back that virus thing and just genuinely give alternatives.

I actually like the idea of a Magic version of TA for DRK.

Though the rotation of DRK will be interesting once its added in theory.

Even if WAR and PLD are better tanks, this would actually make some groups want a DRK over one of the others, solely because they might have friends who are casters in the group.

Exactly, not so much to "change the meta" but give an alternative would give a different approach for DRK. DRK+ PLD as tanks and if they ever decide to push MNK to better support casters with blunt also doing magic resistance down. You'd have MNK + BLM + SMN + RDM as DPS and all 8 would get magic synergy.
