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

[MagiusNecros]

DRK has been consistently gutted each expansion. To the point the devs keep on taking things away from DRK and giving them to other Tanks.

Other tanks now have more frequent DoTs, share Reprisal, GNB was given a version of Dark Dance, GNB shares Dark Missionary with DRK. Except Warrior the rest lost Convalescence which hurts. DRK lost their blind which helped with mitigation in dungeons. They took away BLOOD PRICE for whatever reason. Removed the MP gain on Quietus as well as making sure you only get MP from one mob instead of all of them.

And we no longer inflict Int down to decrease outgoing Magic damage for the raid so there's that too. Abyssal got wrecked, Salted Earth makes everyone salty for low duration, low damage, long CD and no longer generates Blood. Sole Survivor got moved to PVP only so great you lost some sustain in PVE.

And it got progressively less fun when they took away the dodge tank combo of DADD + DADP and God Mode sustain of Blood Price + DA Abyssal Drain.

And waaaaaay back they took away Scourge which everyone hated to lose only to technically get it back in the form of Frey at lvl 80.

And of all the shit they took away they made sure not only was it unchanged but that we absolutely have to keep Living Dead. And that right there is baffling.

And ONE MORE THING...TBN no longer generates Blood and is used on Edge instead of Bloodspiller which is weaker.

Darkside is also weaker being 10% increase instead of 20%.

Ridiculous.

On the bright side though we get MP regeneration so you can absolutely use Mana potions every 4-5 minutes if you want to.
