Question for fellow DRK's who have played its new Shb iteration.

[Arsthan]

I've got good and bad news for you:

The bad is that Syphon Strike, Blood Weapon (Per GCD, mind you, not per hit or on oGCDs), Carve and Spit all give 600 MP - meaning that you definitely won't be able to use TBN whenever, all MP skills cost 3k MP, I bet you get where this is going. You're right to be worried, because DRK right now is downright boring to play, not to mention it plays like a worse WAR. Everyone is pretty annoyed with those changes, so you won't be alone in this. And to make a comparison with SB and HW - the ShB version is basicly taking SB DRK, taking away the fun parts about it, nerfing it, mixing it wit WAR 4.0 for good measures and here you go; ShB DRK. It has nothing in common with HW, unfortunately.

The good news; PLD and GNB are pretty fun. GNB especially.
