DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Tankstuff]

tbn bloodspiller is actually a slight dps loss outside of grit though after the buff to souleater potency, or at best youre breaking even. You use tbn for busters and on the opening pull to get bw delirium asap, maybe as ot on o3s for crit hit. and theres still a da priority system just like 3.x. CnS, bloodspiller, souleater, and if youre overflowing with mana, siphon strike. It does suck not having low blow, scourge, dp and old reprisal, i hope in the next patch we can get a dp fix, some potency upgrades, maybe scourge at the end of a powerslash combo, or on a da plunge, tbn cast point/duration fix cuz server ticks, living dead qol buff, shadow wall recast reduction, etc

It's true that it's a personal loss, but I think most people are referring to the fact that it's either raid wide DPS increase, or that the DRK will need to use it for multiple hard hitting mechanics per minute, whereas it doesn't need to be tuned like that at all.

There's also that "must use it" feeling because your other CDs are on well, cooldown. There's no inbetween mitigation so you (imo) feel pretty obligated to use it every time it's up (which isn't feasible in a lot of encounters)

Just throwing this out there.
Warrior has raw intuition for Autos
Paladin has Bulwark for Autos
DRK has nothing for Autos
Why.

Paladin has Bulwark for Autos

and Bulwark is a great CD for autos... on a 3min recast timer... ya...

If you so desperately need something for auto attacks just use Anticipation. it's superior to Bulwark cause of the much lower recast. just in dungeons of course.

Something is better than nothing. In savage it's not something I typically take for prog
I'm currently using conv-rampart-awareness(swap for reprisal on anything but 3)-provoke-shirk
3 of those are practically manditory. Would just be nice to have a niche again, something DRK hasn't had since 3.x

Does that reduction really have to be in there for a tank of all things? It's not exactly like we do a lot of damage to begin with. I'd still have a fairly hard time justifying spending half my mana bar or more just to dark arts this thing if so

just requires fight knowledge and planning. Bosses dont non stop auto attack you on savage they usually do a buster, do a cast bar mechanic, more autos, another mechanic, tankbuster etc. You can tbn tail swipes and twin bolt, or catastrophes auto nukes and still have it up for double cleave, use it for o3s first crit and one aoe and the next pair of autos and the next ch. You dont spam it off cd you time it right so it becomes a strong "in between" mitigation as well as a pair up with another cd for a buster
