But hey we got an Excog heal
Ehh, like it is annoying it's not really that much lost MP when you really think about it. It's 3000 MP lost every 2.5 mins, or 1200 MP/min. The bulk of our MP was coming from Siphon strike which hasn't changed.
Only thing that will really change in 70-90 content is that you may have to hold a single edge where you previously didn't. Even then, there's not many fights/phases in the game anyway where you're TBNing that much in a short period of time that 1200 MP per minute is going to make or break TBN usage. Like double dragons, TOP p3/6 are really the biggest places in my own recollection where you're going to want to be more vigilant on MP consumption than you were before.

Not just an excog heal though, the rampart +15% healing isn't anything to scoff at either. Sure the other tanks get it too, but for like a job like WAR/PLD they were already self-healing more than the enemies could damage them so unless DT dungeon damage massive shoots up, it was already redundant for them anyway and thus has a more prominent effect on DRK's survival in dungeons than theirs.
