We all know there will be re-balancing in 4.05.
To bring DRK up to PLD's level, we need a little more defensive utility.

A good opportunity to allow this, would be to add an effect to sole survivor. Its currently equal to PLD's Divine Veil recast time of 120 seconds and currently only provides limited support in single target encounters.

It's great to use if there are killable targets through out the encounter but in those encounters with only one enemy, it provides zero use.

There was a lot of hype for a trick attack effect from the media tour (due to a mistake) but what if there was an effect to reduce targets damage dealt?

With a 120s recast time, it would compete with Divine Veil nicely.
