DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[DWolfwood]

Hello Yoshida and Dev Team!

Right now, I'm very unsatisfied with DRK and have changed to WAR until DRK is changed. Here are the most important issues I believe DRK has in 4.05:

1. Living Dead is poorly tuned
2. Shadow Wall is poorly tuned
3. Dark Mind is situational
4. Poor passive mitigation
5. Poor self healing
6. DPS is still a bit low

Here is how I propose addressing them:

1. Either reduce the recast to 180 seconds to be on par with Holmgang, or change this ability entirely. I would prefer you allowed us to summon a Shadow clone that took all enmity from us for 6 seconds while auto-attacking and then gave all enmity and debuffs back to us. Make this recast 5 minutes and lower Hallowed Ground's recast to 5 minutes as well.
2. Reduce the recast on this to 120 seconds.
3. Make this affect Physical & Magical damage. Increase the recast to 90 seconds.
4. Give us a trait [Dread Spikes] that occasionally absorbs HP from an enemy. Balance this against PLD's shield. I've no wish to make DRK overpowered, just equal and unique.
5. Give us an ability similar to Bulwark that increases our Dread Spikes activation rate by 60%.
6. Give us another small potency increase

Thank you for reading and I hope you will take this to heart because I love the job and would like to see it on par with PLD without needing to nerf PLD.
