Just gonna leave these here as I've already said my piece on this topic. Best of luck with it getting any traction though.

Problems with the design of DRK have been well known and documented and many persist to this day or have simply been replaced with other problems.

I do not know why SE makes adjustments to DRK in feeble half-measures that rarely fix core issues. I think it is partially that DRK players make up a much smaller percentage of the tanking population at large, generally speaking, and also partially because our problems seemed to be overshadowed interchangeably by those of the other two tanks. Whether this is because we are the minority as I said before, or because they are genuinely less pressing problems, I can't say without bias.

Anyway, those two threads cover what I believe to be the primary problems. I doubt the patch tomorrow will fix them if all we're looking at is a completely extraneous buff to Quietus of all things (it is triggering as hell to think that there is a portion of the playerbase out there whose feedback is responsible for us getting this instead of genuinely needed buffs to our mitigation), and a potency increase on Souleater.

Is it confirmed anywhere those are the only two changes for Tuesday? Can't wait for the patch notes to go up.

I know for me it seems like they removed a big chunk of our core gameplay---Dark Dance, Reprisal, Low Blow (all had good synergy with each other) and a Blood Price that did something. One of our signature moves, Dark Passenger, is horrendously bad now.

I feel gutted, and having been given almost nothing in return.
