In savage this wouldn't work.
Why I still hated playing as DRK: server ticks suck! BW 5th GCD is unreliable - it can actually mess up your mana management with TBN -, Delirium timing is obnoxiously annoying, the rotation is so overdone and utterly boring.
Is DRK strong? Yes, it is.
Is it fun? No, it isn't. And this hurts my soul, because it used to be a fun job in HW, and it just got worse from there.
The LL didn't mention any BW adjustments, so here we are - once again - DRK left out for any QoL changes, and - I tell you - will still be left out until 5.3x. And even then... yes, even then... the changes will not be enough. It was like this in HW, it was like this in SB, and it will be the same in ShB... or we'll see nothing until 6.0 launches.
*SE think tank*
SMN changes? Heck yeah, people play it, they are vocal about it.
WAR? Not many play anymore, and they are the loudest, so let's do something.
DRK, our iconic mascot for ShB, and problem child since SB? Nah, it's fine, don't worry.
