    Returning DRK

    Its been about a year since I last played and I loved the DRK as a tank. Found it fun to play, but since SB has come out and being away for so long I don't really know the rotation for the job now. I ran one dungeon and had a mess of trying to keep agro.

    Thanks in advance for the help

    Once you have Abyssal Drain, you shouldn't spam Unleashed for aoe aggro, 1x Unleashed into Abyssal Drain for more aggro sustain. Generally DRK still the same with a few tweaks. DP still good (240pot x enemies hit is really nice) for dungeon runs. If you tend to go out of Grit, you most likely still need additional aggro and DP kinda helps that for initial pulls. Generally always have 50%+ mana pull to use more aoes.

    Other than that, Quietus is great if paired with Blood Weapon for dungeons where you can reliably hit multiple mobs for more mana.

    If you got 60 beware you've lost the following, Shadowskin, Scourge, Low Blow, Reprisal, Dark Dance, Delirium. Foresight, Bloodbath, Half the potency on Unleash
    Overall Damage nerf, Overall Threat nerf. You lost these respective DRK combos.

    Delirium Combo and the int down status
    BP+DA+AD (Conva)
    DA+DD
    FS+SS Tankbuster negation if you have vul (helped me alot in sophia when she busts no pun intended)
    DA+DP because mana cost is insane
    Any form of BP + anything spam (BP gives back terrible mana.

    Things gained.
    SS+Grit is a give you back mana equiv to one DA
    TBN a bubble that cost blood 20% of you max hp shield
    Quietus and aoe skill that is on GCD that builds no enmity
    Bloodspiller decent nuke
    And awareness (cross class you won't get crit for 20seconds)
    You can now DA+SS if you mana cap out
    Delirium now extends the duration of BP and BW 60 sec cd

    My opinion if you liked DRKs in the past you prolly won't like it now but if you disliked them before you might like it.
