Now it doesn’t seem fun. It wasn’t necessarily fun in shb either but tbn was outstanding comparatively so negative player sentiment was swept under the rug.

It’s got great DPS. That’s great but that’s a secondary job of a tank. Buffing a secondary task and then to make up for it by nerfing self-sustain and mitigation into the ground is difficult to understand. I get it - DPS is king. DPS checks, skipping mechanics is great, pushing phase changes… all that is good stuff. But DRK is a tank and it’s primary function looks subpar. Is it playable, sure, but it doesn’t feel good.

Exactly, DPS is a secondary job of a Tank.

Survival is the main job.
