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

[Ekimmak]

i consider GNB and PLD pretty diferent from each other, yes both have a 20% damage window but the way they have to manage that window is complety diferent and GNB combos are nothing like PLD ones while PLD have the requiem cast window GNB have his burst combo.

Well, I apparently missed making my point there, because what I meant was "all the tanks feel the same".

now WAR and DRK both have the same burst window with the same duration and recast, i grant that in terms of numbers are not exact but mechanically speacking are exactly the same, betwen that both jobs use they combos with DRK having only 1 and WAR haing 2, DRK have more oGCD usage that WAR but not much and blood weapon is comparable to infuriate with same recast but at least this ones are diferent enough, i will say both DRK and WAR are the same around a 70-75% of the gameplay wich is a lot compared to the old versions was 0% similar, so yeah any old DRK have strong WAR feelings in this version.

And there's the problem. Delirium and Inner Release feel too similar, and that's what's bugging people. But that's not what they're saying, they're saying that DRK is too similar to WAR. By all means, be vocal about it, you might get the miracle rework that WAR had in SB, just try and be clear about it.

I think purpose wise, IR and Delirium are quite different, as Inner Release is overboosting Fell Cleave/Decimate, and offhand increasing the number of Infuriates (and the upgraded attacks that brings), while Delirium is bringing in more MP, and adding extra Edge/Flood attacks you can get. They aren't more powerful, but they are off cooldown damage.

So functionally, even the skills causing this complaint aren't just copy-pastes ... but they feel similar, and the feel of a class is much more important.
