What suprised me a lot is that they didn't give a fuck about the darkside aura which its pissing almost everyone off.

They might have judged its too early to say if DRK is in a bad spot or not. AST was obviously lacking compared to other healers. You could do everything with it but it was harder than with a scholar or a whm. DRK on the other can run everything just fine (dont know about alexander savage) and has no problem taking huge loads in the face which is its primary role. The main problem is its utility compared to other two tanks. Reprisal sucks, and you have nothing beneficial as an OT. You still do more damage than other two tanks as MT but it absolutely needs to have some utility as an OT. Those are the things in my opinion that are hard to judge on easy content.

What SE wanted to ensure was to put all the classes in a good spot so they don't get denied for raids. DRK is clearly not weak and has a proper place as a MT. It for sure needs some adjustements and we shall probably see them in the next patch i'm sure of it.
