Honestly at this point we would all be better off slamming them with tickets till they listen. As annoying as it sounds, you want to be heard, hit them where they can't turn it off. Just in case they "forget".

seeing how that went for GNB and the solid barrel combo sound effects... you're better off just not playing DRK.

If SE sees a significant drop off of DRK players in content they'll start to *maybe* consider looking into why.

Nah, they'll probably just buff warrior again. Scream at them enough and they'll listen

WAR hasn't been buffed since Heavensward. It's been on a constant decline, albeit slow, but nerfed regardless. Though at least it still keeps its "feel" and "identity" of a burst and high self sustain tank in every expansion instead of being reworked. DRK doesn't have that same luxury.

That and straightforward capacity (which, for those who care about gameplay, is a bitter reward for identity and iconic elements squandered and then trimmed) are about the limits of its retention, though, sadly.

Adding a shield to Shake It Off in my book was a pretty big buff just to mention one in StB

well that was one of those things where it could be seriously OP by removing mechanic buffs and even weakness, or, extremely underwhelming like only removing the doom in Exdeath. Though it was a good idea for tanks to have a self-cleanse, especially in content like bojza or DRS but designing content around one ability is generally a bad idea.

The shield change was a good idea on their part (especially when you consider that Selene had an aoe esuna), though I think it needs to be buffed a bit given the fact that you are giving up cds for it. A 1% buff per cd used would make it almost worth it to burn all 3 cds for a 24% barrier for big hits. As it stands most of the time you just burn an RI for it for a 17% barrier which is okay but could be better.
