DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Mithron]

For me, I just hate how much Dark Arts spamming is now because of Siphon Strike and I hate The Blackest Night. Neither of them feel fun or satisfying to use at all any more. TBN turns out "use MP for more damage" mentality into a psuedo-defense-offense mindset which isn't fun to use at all. I think if TBN was a much longer cooldown I could tolerate it more, but wanting to feel like it has priority over Dark Arts isn't fun at all. I also feel very pressured about having to Dark Arts every Bloodspiller as well which takes a lot of the fun out of the Bloodgauge. Don't get me wrong, I loved DRK in 3.0 because of its difficulty and rewarding to master, but I don't think the mastery required in 4.0 DRK is satisfying or rewarding at all and it really killed the thematic reasons I played DRK.

As someone whose in the top 50 parses for DRK, this is fairly accurate. Not using DA on Bloodspiller is bad imo, but you typically don't use Bloodspiller that much (from my experience from v1-3.) I really only pop it during the opener for a free delirium or MAYBE whenever I need a delirium, just depends on the fight really but it's never overused in my experience (MT DRK as well so, take that as you will).
