DRK needs re-tuning/buffing.

[Chrono_Rising]

I used to feel that DRK was lacking CD until I got TBN. I mean TBN is amazing, it's literally an oGCd Inner Beast you can use in both stance!
Yes you want to save rampart and shadow wall for Tank busters but we still have convalescence, anticipation, your selfheals and dark mind to some extent.
I don't feel that DRK is lacking in CD with TBN.
for my pov, TBN is better than Inner Beast which is already an amazing mitigation tool.
It's hard to complain when you have that.

I believe the issue here is that though TBN is nice, it does come at a hefty amount of mana especially if it doesn't pop but I agree it is an nifty skill. We have a self heal in soul eater but spend a large amount of time locked out of it depending on stance and where we are in a combo, we do have abyssal but the mana cost is huge and on single targets has abysmal returns.

Depending on the situation inner beast can mitigate more, vengeance far out classes shadow wall with 5 more seconds, 1 minute less on cooldown time and deals damage back. Warrior also has a a self heal in the form of their gcd, which is not stances locked and is part of the dps rotation.

Clemency has some very nice returns which can be buffed up to 44% in an emergency, and sentlnel mitigates more overall than shadow wall. Paladins also have the advantage of more passive mitigation as well as on demand blocking with no dps loss or risk.

TBN is great, but it's definately not a powerful selfsustain. Given that we have less mitigation than paladin and less self sustain and dps I think it's a fair assessment that we need to be broguht up to level.
