Dark Knight follow up thread

Agree to disagree. I'm not a fan of the current build in a lot of ways but in my personal experience this has not been an issue I've had or heard widely complained about.

The whole "TBN should not be tied to MP and DPS" argument has only really become a thing since Xenosys Vex's post 5.0 release tank video. I don't recall ever seeing this sentiment before then and now it is all over the place

All I want is good gameplay to be rewarded. If you jack up, fine, eat the 500 potency loss. But if you do it well then it's a gain and not neutral.. The idea that it's neutral or loss just sucks.

The complication with making DA use a straight gain, such as giving Edge/Shadow a potency boost when used through DA, is that it then in turn increases the potential loss if TBN doesn't break. By increasing the potential gain, you increase the potential loss since they are not separate factors. It also then leaves the foundational problem of the shield potentially not breaking unresolved. While doing something like making DA a gain seems at first glance like a good idea, it potentially just makes the problem worse or at best, more divisive.
