Dark Knight Megathread

I'd say TBN being removed from the MP cost and becoming a 25s cooldown without the DA would balance it then. You already said it's stronger than Thrill, so that shield every 25s isn't gamebreaking.

In that case I'd actually view it as a pretty big nerf considering the thing that makes TBN so good is its flexibility and low cooldown.

I personally despise TBN as it is now because it's the one thing holding DRK back because, as everybody keeps pointing out, it's the "best" unique due to its low cooldown. Remove that low cooldown, and suddenly it's no longer the best. Hell, it'd likely result in DRK getting actual things it needs without TBN being the excuse for why it gets nothing.

Cooldowns are an important part of skill balancing. I get its not particularly flashy but Oblation and Dark Mind are so good because they're on a 60s cd as well.

By extension, Holmgang is considered the best invuln for the same reason. Its not as cool as the other tank's short mits yeah, but 10s off the cooldown allows it to be flexible in and be used in ways the others simply cant be.
