But it was just easier to ax it then walk it back or fix.

That said I did like the speed DRK felt in stormblood but we also still had speed on Blood Weapon so, column A column B.
Yeah, I'm just kinda salty that people pretend 4.0 DRK was its high point when it was a disaster all around. It might've been more fun than its 5.0 variant, but its overall terrible design made its lows a hell of a lot lower.
