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

[Reynhart]

All the decision making comes out of resource management and oGCD usage.

By doing your filler combo, you generate far enough MP so there's no real management to do there, especially since Blood Weapon is available every time during a full Darkside window. Same for Blood, you don't need to really save it since Delirium will provide all the Blood you need for burst windows. At least in Stormblood, you could keep on blood for a little time if Delirium and Blood weapon were near their CD, or you could use/break TBN to have a surge of Blood for an approaching burst window…
Now the ressource management is basically "Don't cap your ressources". I'd say that's hardly a decision. Technically, by having Requiescat tied to a nearly full MP gauge, and Oath skills only mitigation skill, PLD has more ressource management and timing to do than DRK.

There's something for everyone.

You're right, but I'd say that if you wanted a job that spam its ressource skills freely during a burst window, WAR was already providing that 2 years ago.

The job people want to play is available, just not wrapped in the skin they want.

Ok, so where is the fast paced tank with skills that actually synergize with each other to achieve great performance ?

Or, another question : Who are the people targeted by this new DRK that couldn't find what they wanted in either the old DRK or the other tanks ?
