DRK needs re-tuning/buffing.

Doubt I'm undervaluing it, I'm giving it how it is. Judging from what I've seen, experienced and played, you use it as I do... literally. For the most part it's used for tank busters and nowhere else really. I don't even find myself in a position of "Oooooo I got 2400 mana, time to use TBN!". On your point of mana management, unless CS will be up shortly unused mana is wasted mana. Whenever I'm trying in susano TBN See's about 3-4 uses total over an 8min fight in susano, including the beginning for the easy pop delirium, after that most of my blood gen is through natural blood weapons/soul eaters.


Even then sure, TBN is a "great" defensive in comparison to the rest of our kit, our kit being garbage. Sheltron gives better defensive ability than TBN, while yes a paladin doesn't have any offensive use for their gauge... clearly they don't need it with holy spirit and requiscat.

Again, in my opinion the ability is extremely BORING to press, it's not a "hey I'm going to do some smart planning and use this right here! Effectively boosting my dps and making me a better player!" It's more of a "if I don't use this in combination with rampart or shadow wall... I'm dead" during a tank buster. Either give me more of a reason to use TBN outside of tank busters to idk... help people and feel rewarded? Or just buff Shadow Wall or some other defensive so it doesn't feel so needed to use 2400 mana every single tank buster.

To me, I'm not a fan of it being a cost heavy replacement of Reprisal/Low blow.
