Drk: worst designed class

[Jandor]

Technically, it's not "free". Basically this game has three cost (soon, only two), which are TP, MP and time (Fun fact, DRK is the first job that got screwed by having Dark Passenger cost both MP and time). Divine Veil and Shake It Off both have a CD that prevent from using them too much. A 4800MP partywide TBN would have a far better uptime, if you're willing (or need) to sacrifice some of your DPS...which depending of how DA-TBN returns Blood, might not even be that big of a loss.

You missed gauge

I meant free in the sense that it doesn't hurt their damage output, although that's on me, I really wasn't very clear. PLD and WAR can throw out DV and SiO on cooldown without it really having any bearing on what they're doing.

I just don't think DA-TBN is a very good idea. I think it'd be pretty damn awkward in practice, all to get something that's not all that important to have, and that it is IMHO a rather boring way of giving DRK some party utility.
