DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

4.06 notes are out, nothing.

Louder boys.

optimistic reaction is "well in 4.1 they're gonna be able to do more than just potency adjustments."

In 3.07 they added the Blood Weapon TP cost reduction which was huge at the time. 3.1 saw almost nothing. Its almost a meme at this point, that people have had so many complaints about this job ever since launch (not all of which I have agreed with, but I digress), but they refuse to make substantial changes to it, whereas several jobs have gotten bloody power-point presentation's worth of changes in various patches.

Although I agree that a few adjustment should be made, there are jobs that are barely played in endgame because of how unbalanced they are. DRK will be a lower priority I reckon.
There was a huge tank focus in 4.05 so I didn't expect much in 4.06.

There was a huge WAR focus in 4.05.

I just voted with my wallet.

Logging in has become a chore now like the end of the last patch cycle and I had to force myself just to cap creation. Time for a loooong break until DRK is fun again.

I'm in the same boat. My sub runs up in a couple days and I don't see myself resubbing in the foreseeable future. Not only has DRK become a chore, it just flat out sucks to play. They could have the worst DPS, mitigation, utility, but if its fun to play, I'd play it. The worst part is, it's gonna take another expansion to fix my problems with DRK.

If Dark Passenger is such shite, what's that make DA-Quietus's +50 potency?

Is it there just to punish DRK who DA between the wrong GCDs?

it's not too bad, since you gain the mana for Dark Arts back with Quietus, but very situational. you would rather spend the mana for more Abyssal Drain than Dark Arts + Quietus.

It's hitting aoe and you wouldn't use it with fewer than three targets meaning DA gets you 150+ whenever you want to use it, which is larger than the soul-eater 140. DA on drain doesn't add any damage, though the health back is handy. Seven targets and it has the same potency gain as carve & split.

DA on passenger uses up half your MP pool. Quietus is blood only, so doesn't drain MP.

Well yeah, but Dark Passenger is also oGCD, so Dark Passenger+Quietus is better than DA+Quietus for the same MP cost. I think DRK shouldn't have any Potency increase DA effects for AOE, DP could fill that role.

DA+DP is another issue though.
