Perma shelved my DRK: No role, no idenity, no lore, no worthwhile skills, no fun

[Danelo]

tl;dr my issue is with blood itself..

Okay, I see what you mean in that regard and for the most part agreed.

There's a million different things the devs could have done to lean into DRK having a burst window besides copying another class. It defeats the purpose of having different jobs, right? I feel like if the trend of DRK being a WAR clone, except one expansion behind, continues then we've already seen what we have to look forward to. I wouldn't be opposed to a blood combo or something other than current delirium. It lacks ingenuity, from my prospective, and I was hoping for more depth.

Indeed, they could have easily and I'm making this up right this second, made it a proc based buster tank using a "punishment" meter that builds up by doing and taking damage, the higher it is the more damage it does when the skill procs, if they don't want to make it feel like DRKs from other FFs at least make use of FFXIV's lore then.

But no, let's make it a clunky WAR instead.
