Trying to understand the complaints about DRK

[Chrono_Rising]

That's true, but that's not the point.

That is fine, but the point people are speaking about is using a skill optimally. We can say Souleater is a potency gain without qualifying that it is only a potency gain when used as the combo finisher of a three tier combo. We can say that more mana translates to more mp on dark knight without qualifying exactly how and when it should be used. Sure, poping Sheltron on its own doesn't net you anything except mana and maybe a proc, but when those resources are used strategically it is a potency gain.

More to the point, I believe that Lyth is pointing out that using tools properly on other tanks does net a positive dps gain, so why are we so afraid of doing the same on dark knight? I don't think their point really rested on this idea of "strictly positive", it is based on proper usage of skills (and even at times frequent use in the case of sheltron) leads to positive results.

And as Aana said, these conversations always seem to revolve around TBN, but fixing this one skill is hardly the fix dark knight needs.
