Normal mode is a slog, the fights take way too long and people are just petty for the most part. Avoiding that by just making crafted gear is so much more tolerable than throwing yourself to the wolves.
    Yea but there's a big difference between crafted gear being a gap closer vs crafted accessories being BiS for tanks for an entire raid tier lol

    Indeed. I'd like to see Shadow Wall (and I know this isn't pld thread but Bulwark too) reduced to 120 sec CD to bring them more in line with War defensively. They need a DPS boost in one way or another as well, because in all honesty they should be higher and at the end of the day DPS will help mask other little issues the community has. It'd be nice if they were more thorough with a re-design towards the style of play many DRKs miss from HW, but I personally don't see them making sweeping changes to it's playstyle in the middle of an expansion. Not impossible by any means I just think it's unlikely.

    To make it more balanced, I'd add a DA effect to the 120sec CD Shadow Wall that will make it equivalent to Sentinel.

    Eh, that depends on the changes. Shadow Wall + TBN would achieve more mitigation right now, so I think they'd have to change something with DA to make that a worthwhile addition. Also need to consider the issue of spamming DA with everything.

    DA needs to be moderated, I agree. I would like to see a Dark Mind redesign where it is an individual DA-free skill.

    Example of redesign: Make it absorb a portion of damage received. Would make great synergy with TBN for damage control and self-healing.
