DRK QOL changes for 5.4

[Xtrasweettea]

Literal hindering

I feel like we are back in StB with this WAR hate from DRKs.

The patterns feel very familiar: WAR gets something, DRKs hate. DRKs complain about WAR. Community responds. DRK gets upset that response isn’t always echoing their feelings. DRK complains and blames “WAR mains.” Cycle continues.

I was nice with my comment within that other thread you started. Though, since I am seeing you here actually hindering a discussion with a theme that I think many of us could get behind, my comment here to isn’t going to be as nice.

DRK is in the state it is in because the community made it that way, and the community still hasn’t accepted any responsibility for making DRK the way it is. Yes, it is your fault why DRK the way it is.

This whole mess of DRK being a “WAR with darkness and magic” theme we have going on right now is the fault of the community constantly fighting between DRK and WAR. DRK players in StB kept fighting for the same spot in parties as WAR. Instead of trying to compete equally with PLD and WAR, DRKs only focused on WARs.

DRKs only compared themselves to WAR.

Look what you got now: DRK with no unique theme but a powerful shield, an invul that people don’t like, weird level ability placement, and it grows into a WAR clone. What else SE was going to think when for almost all of StB, DRKs focused their attention on WAR?

If you want to keep this WAR clone theme going and messy room of a level ability leveling scheme: keep doing what you are doing.


As for “balance”, yeah, they have to consider that. That’s why in the other thread, I stated SE only adjusted pieces of code that were small. Small changes are easier to implement when considering "balance."
