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

[Renato]

1. It's slow. Which is a big problem because DRK was known to be a busy, fast-paced class. This was a defining feature of DRK. Even the MP regen is slow now, forcing you to desperately spam your ONE single target combo to merely even out after using literally any MP skill you have. How is this enjoyable? This is absolute garbage class design.

I will agree with you on this as far it being slow. But if you're spamming ONE of the MP combos the whole time, you're either still on lv70 or you're playing the job wrong.

2. It was severely watered down. Losing depth is never a good thing, and DRK lost just about all of its different options and crazy skill combinations that had insane results (In a giant mob, you could quickly pop Quietus -> DA -> Abyssal Drain. And still have nearly a full mp bar).

Going back to my comment above. There are different combinations. I've said before that they're not as efficient as the SB MP regen methods but they work.
Siphon Strike - 600mp
Siphon Strike>Quietus>Quietus - 2400mp
Unleash>Quietus>Stalwart Soul -2400mp
Delirium>Quietus x5 - 3000mp

Those are just some of the combos not even including the using Blood Weapon in combination with your other MP Regen attacks. You have options, it's not just "use one combo to restore MP." You just have to figure out a new rotation.
