Drk: worst designed class

[Renato]

The other common point is the fact that DRK tends to be the middle ground between WAR's absolute offense and PLD's absolute support, and it really needs a direction of its own. Self-healing/lifesteal is a good direction from this, but it needs to be a thematic direction across the entire job. Bloodspiller is a good example. It needs to be more than just a weaker Fell Cleave clone. Even if it gave you a small bit of health back, it'd offer a bit of unique flavour.

This was my biggest issue with the job. It's always been my favorite job throughout the series and as far back as I can remember, it's always had abilities that relies on lifesteal and using health to deal larger amounts of damage. It seems like WAR is more akin to the traditional DRK than the DRK itself with 3 skills that lifesteal (opposed to DRK's two), a skill that uses HP difference to increase attack potency and even in some of it's skill aesthetics such as Inner Release that give that cool black fire animation and glowing eyes...I don't know what SE was thinking when they went this route.

I feel like DRK's defense should be it's offense. It mitigates damage because it's constantly draining health from the enemy.

This.

The dark night theme feels like a mage-tank.
