Is anyone surprised at this point?

It's the comparison vs. DRK getting no love the entire expac while adding insult to injury of getting a full redesign. DRK mains may be fairly miffed

that plus Bunshin and Perfect Balance being changed to have charges to spend, whereas blood weapon is still "hope you have good latency."

So you're upset they didn't change blood weapon?

Is that really what we're all getting riled up by?
I dunno man, I just followed some melding guide off the balance to get my SkS right and never had a problem with that.

good for you. You still are bound by DRK being a hybrid weaponskill/spell GCD job.
BW is still clunky in AoE situations. You cannot meld enough SkS to mitigate that.
Even ignoring that "but that's not raids, so who cares?" because how many people are uber casual, log in to do roulettes, and not much else? They just get shafted?

It's a much requested, twice paralleled QoL change that's been asked for since 5.0's release (BW is jank please fix), and fully realized with NIN's redesign (Bunshin does it why cant we?), and again wound-salted with MNK's rework (Perfect Balance too now functions like how we want BW to, please??).

At this point it's just tradition. DRK Gets nothing meaningful, then throughout the expac their like dead last to get anything close to a good adjustment, then the next expansion comes and it's almost a whole new job with the changes to it. Taking bets on what 6.0 Delirium will do if it's even still in the job kit.
