Datamined DRK changes from final build

"Its garbage, so lets make it more garbage" is a poor thought-process on the part of the dev team. If anything it should have been buffed to make up for DRK's pitiful self-healing.

Let's not forget it takes us at least 3 GCDS and MP just to get to that 100%, and isn't even usable outside of our tanking stance, which makes me question even more why the change is happening. PLD and WAR may have resources they need to use their self heal, but not as much as DRK did, with even less potency..

Granted it's now our only DPS rotation, it's not like it was ground breaking...

@OP: Please rename this thread in such a way that brings attention to how badly DRK has been nerfed so we can get some eyes on this.

The question isn't whether DRK will be interesting or fun to play or optimize, its about how it is hands down the worst tank now, only giving WAR a bit of competition in the utility department.

I didn't say fun. I said I'm not going to judge until we see content. There's so much unknown, new stats and new weights that we don't know much about.

My bad, I got too excited looking through the datamine trying to find changes. Equilibrium healing is already Defiance-only.

I know I am freaking out a bit myself, but I'll be good for now and just...wait to see things for myself. I'm usually a calm person and even this has me a bit riled up. Lol

Scourge died for this crap.

How about some extra potency on Bloodspiller, SE?!?!

Sucks because my Static has a PLD already and i really wanted to play DRK. Really wanted to avoid playing warrior cause im not a huge fan of the beast gauge. Looks like my choice may have been made for me already.

EDIT: I think in terms of Mitigation, we should be ok. Dark Mind is still insanely powerful and rampart will cover what shadowskin did. Reprisal being on demand should help as well. Dark Dance was underrated mitigation, not great, but decent in its own right.

Blackest night *should* fill in a gap in our mitigation when it comes to physical, but you will need to time it correctly to get its full use. Just hope it takes priority over adlo aspected benefic and divine benison or we are in a world of hurt

I'm not sure how to change the thread title, or if I even can.
