The Current state of DRK

[Bibine_Bine]

I am begging everyone to stop asking for DRK's mitigation to be "brought in line" with other tanks.

DRK's offensive kit is in a boring state, and that does need to be addressed (which, quite frankly, restoring our MP per min to it's former amount would solve like 90% of the issues). But seriously, why are we asking for more homogenization within the tank role? DRK is currently the only tank whose defensive and offensive kits have any interaction, with TBN. Is it frustrating that this offensive connection can limit TBN's power? Sure. But needing to be deliberate about when and where you use TBN is engaging and fun.

The MP tax is not engaging or fun. It's a risk-punishment mechanic that frustrates the player whenever the shield doesn't break, and because you need the shield to always break to not lose damage, you rarely even see its upside of having a shorter CD utilized against bosses.

Speak for yourself. Granted it's bad right now with the MP nerf, but it was fine in EW where TBN not breaking wasn't such a massive kick in the teeth. Nevertheless, I find PLD and WAR unengaging because they don't have as much to manage. GNB I can't play because it gives me a headache, so I can't speak to that. If you don't find DRK's MP management enjoyable, there are three other tanks you can play.
