Datamined DRK changes from final build

[MagiusNecros]

So not only does DRK have no identity they also neutered anything good about the class completely.

PLD Propaganda at work here.

They really are putting this class in the DRK.

feels more like drk is the autopart junkyard that war and pld take parts off of (gap closer/reprisal)

It was always a shitty hybrid but now it is no longer fluid, looks like a bunch of unfun and really wants to accentuate how much of a shitty hybrid it is.

I kinda feel like WHM and DRK are on the same ship here.

I don't understand what a Drk does anymore. We aren't the anti-magic tank because everyone else now has their stuff work against magic. We are the worst physical tank because Dark-Mind is now only half a cooldown compared to everything else. Just walking Darkest Night bots maybe?

I don't really use dark so I don't fully understand the weight of these changes, but I'm guessing its a nerf overall?

Huge nerfs. We're kind of the worst DPS, worst self healing, worst mitigating tank now.

To be blunt, they don't know what they're doing with the tanks and healers.

DRK came in without much of an identity except being the "magic" tank so all they can do is make it unique by making either PLD under-powered for two years or now making DRK all-around craptastic. AST came in with a stance to replace either other healer on a whim so they started crap and now after quadrupling the power of The Balance and buffing their HPS to where they can spam crit-Adlo sized shields with an instant cast they're just better at everything.

SqEx...two years.

I was pretty indifferent towards the changes to drk. But the souleater nerf makes me really sad. I never felt like I was in godmode just because it took 100%, but at least seeing myself healed a little from a big hit was useful. Now being at 10% why even make a effect on souleater at all.

Good thing rampart is optional now. I think its very clear that self sustainability and mitigation isnt a tanks job anymore, its up to the dps to mitigate ohys/magic damage looks like., and the healers.

Good think rampart is optional now.

Didn't Rampart take a hit too? Rumored it's 10% mitigation and not 20%, lol.
