Datamined DRK changes from final build

[Xenosan]

FAIK both IB and Path are partial now, though I don't know at what %.

Also where's the mention of Abyssal Drain.

It's possibly not a 100% health-tap anymore either, according to some that I've read. Same as IB and Path, it is described as a 'partial' restore now.

Itss offical DRKs got a nerf for no reason so ever. We got a shield tho we can moonlight as scholars on the side guys.

WAR's IB healing was nerfed for this patch, though the overall potency of the skill was buffed. I'm not sure if SP was nerfed or not.

i think it was. not sure if it was the life tap or the damage reduction was removed/nerfed

cant spam it with BP outside of Grit anymore since BP can only be used in grit....

So what's the point in having Darkside as a buff if it costs no mana? Why not just bake the extra damage into the class? I liked learning DRK because of learning how to maintain my MP, and it was really rewarding when id run through a dungeon never taking off Darkside. Obviously now there is no reason not to use darkside, so it seems trivial to me to even have it when they could just make it a part of the class without it being a buff.

I just hope I won't be kicked from ex primal fights.

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.

HAR HAR

Disables outside MP regen. They could just make it a trait (MP regen stops in battle, outside sources don't work, dmg increased by 15%) but you wouldn't be able to toggle that off for cases like A12S where there's no enemies on the battlefield for a full 45s but you're still in combat.

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.

On the brightside, i think we all know what the "new dps" in 5.0 is gonna be lol i mean theres only a couple of tanky things left to take off drk at this point
