Thread: Please give us back Darkside MP eating mechanic

The DRK fantasy is destroyed by SB launch.
Please SE give us the Darkside mode eating up MP like in 3.0.

The rotation is braindead and the darkarts is no more value to us as it's spammed always and it does not feel like we have to think before we use.

Also remove siphon strike dark arts ability.

We are swimming in MP now and the job is brain dead.

Please look into these changes and give us back our job.

Also if you bring the eat mechanic buff siphon MP gain.

cant say that i don't welcome it

Dark Knight is currently missing a proper mechanic. Paladin has its magical and physical dps phases along with more defensives/OGC's to use. In comparison the Dark Knight is currently just flat out dull. We just spam dark arts as it becomes available with a very light priority system that doesn't really matter there since you get mana out of the behind anyway. We have less defensives, we have less OGC's. Dark Knight has essentially become the 1-2-3 class or in aoe situations even less than that

not sure if trolling or serious?

I prefer 3.x DRK compare to this dumb down version 4.0 DRK. It just doesn't feel very fluid to me.

Some people look at a full MP bar on DRK and think that the job is too easy. I look at a full MP bar on DRK and cringe at the dps loss.

It's less punishing when you mess up, but as a result, players generally don't actually realise when they have messed up. There's significantly more to keep track of as a DRK in SB, and you can easily lose a ton of dps without noticing if you're not careful. Delirium windows are the biggest culprits in this regard.
