Another Pal an War buff patch, another middle finger to Drks

Its because its easy to buff potency. Improving DRKs sustain is a expansion level change that they wont do until 7.0

I honestly have no hope for that happening, 2 expacs in a row they nerfed the self sustain of Drks to the floor.

Cure potency... is potency.

And we've already seen cure potency slapped onto, by now, at least 4 tank actions that previously had none (CFR, BoF, BoT, BoV), and 7 among other tanks' actions' cure potencies have been buffed over the last couple expansions, iirc?

There's no reason they can't do the same for DRK during this expansion.



I don't personally consider increased sustain all that vital, given that dungeons are only becoming increasingly undemanding (I did the new dungeon on DRK just fine at minimum ilvl with only oGCDs and Kardia) and our mitigation is already fine, but let's not pretend other jobs haven't already seen increases in self-healing this expansion that are almost as great as DRK's current total.

It wouldn't even take much to make DRK feel better in the healing department either. Right now they could boost the Cure Potency on Abyssal Drain to 400 (it's currently 200) and it'd feel a hell of a lot better to use in pulls. It would be enough to at least give DRK a boost every minute. They could even throw a regen on Oblation, and DRK would be better in self-sustain.
