I'd never played a tank class until DRK but screw it, I'm switching to WAR (if I buy the expansion at all). I've given you my money for two yrs believing you would fix my favorite class and for what...? The best SE could do was a lesser copy and paste version of WAR 4.2? You couldn't even copy over the crit buffs associated with IR? If SE was going to homogenize by finally giving DRK a burst window and an AOE utility then it should have been during the 4.x series. What a joke! And being the magic tank isn't an identity just like being middle of the road tank in between the offensive tank (war) and the high utility tank (pld) was not an identity. So stop with the magic only CDs - it doesn't add any flavor.

If you have no vision for the DRK then delete it. People will only play it for its look at this point. I'm admittedly antagonistic bc this is ridiculous. Give us something original. Do away with traditional CDs like rampart and shadow wall. Do a deep dive into making DRK a pet class with its shadow, Fray. That was just an example but there's a lot of cool stuff that could be done.
