    I'll break these down 1 by 1

    1. This would be better suited to the original dark side rather than bringing up a new animation as delirium. That said the concept is completely sound
    2. Salted earth is probably not the best for this as its ground placement. However if Scourge was broguht back, that would fill the niche quite well
    3. I think these mp restores will need a boost considering no inner release spam. In addition, quietus needs a serious damage buff, it just tickles.
    4. no thank you, I'd rather have my duration max and also have its timer fixed. I also think it needs its attack range upped because moving bosses it struggles with
    5. i think the healing received is a bit weak. The drk must be able to recover from his own invul like the other tanks.
    6. TBN is rightfully earned at 70, its a shield made out of love. That being the case Rampart should be replaced by shadowskin. This was a completely unneccesary change SE did in shb.

    We desperately need more combos. A branching combo system like we had in HW would go a looooong way to alleviating the boredom in the job

    1)I would love to bring back enmity combos because enmity is WAY too passive, though I think DRK and WAR would need this the most.
    2)Bring back Scourge have it be a third middle combo button (can still be a DoT) and re-work Delirium as Scourge's combo ender with some kind of debuff effect.
    3)Balance Plunge as a single target combo starter that becomes Dark Passenger while under the effect of Dark Arts that's also burst cone AoE combo starter(still a gap closer) that combos into Quietus(still PBAoE) and Flood of Shadow(still line AoE) with their inital potencies the same(except Dark Passenger which is base 600 potency) and and potency is boosted by 400 when using a Dark Arts stack
    4)Bring back the PVP skill Tar Pit, re-work it for PVE and have it be the middle combo button for Unleash and make Stalwart Soul combo after Tar Pit(stronger AoE combo outside of AoE burst combo
    5)Bring back the PVP skill Carnal Chill, re-work it for PVE and have it be the target AoE combo starter, re-work Salted Earth into the middle combo button(applies Scourge DoT to all enemies hit by it and leaves a separate DoT puddle) and re-work Abyssal Drain as the combo ender(weakest damage dealing AoE combo but generates most enmity)
    6)Make Edge of Darkness, Bloodspiller, and Carve and Spit basically the single target equivalent of number 3(including Edge of Darkness upgrade into Edge of Shadow via Dark Arts)

    And just for the combos idea, active mitigation needs to take a back seat unless they plan to buff the duration of active mitigation skills to be half as long as the cooldown which I am down, and more focus on passive mitigation via Bloodbath(A.K.A. lifesteal) mechanics and some damage down debuff mechanics as well have most of these changes available as late as level 50 so that way leveling past 50 and playing through the story becomes WAY more enjoyable and fun. Because if it's not fun, you're doing it wrong...

    EDIT: Also Delete Living Shadow if I can't maintain it and if it can't take hits for me, re-work Darkside into an MP Draining Toggle again and re-work Dark Arts into the demonic love child of GNB cartridges and RDM Balance gauge while bringing back the Dark Arts button(requires Darkside active first). And FOR THE LOVE OF EMET-SELCH AND ELIDIBUS PLEASE MAKE LIVING DEAD GO INTO A 10 SECOND PURE INVULN SHOULD IT FALL AND MAKE WALKING DEAD STATE NOT SUCK BY MAKING IT HEAL YOU TO 100% AND GIVE YOU PURE INVULN FOR 10 SECONDS WHICH MORE THAN JUSTIFIES A 5 MINUTE COOLDOWN!
