Oh, I was just explaining the reasons why those abilities, and Dark Arts by extension, was largely removed. Hence the large portion of Dark Knight's very identity being severed from the job as a result.

I am just citing the reason why those abilities were likely removed. Because they ended up being button bloat, when in a good majority of the content they didn't serve much use if the Drk wasn't Main tank. A lot of the kit that Drk had revolved around those abilities and Dark Arts boosting them. But since they are gone, Dark Arts only extends to when TBN is burst now.

I'd like to see Dark Arts brought back, but bring back that sense of retaliation by allowing us to slap abilities on others, even as Off Tank. And be rewarded for those uses with a charge of Dark Arts that can boost various things.

I think that would help bring back Drk's identity as the Tank that Retaliated for getting punched in the face. So to speak.
