DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Deathshiro]

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

[kashi11]

Combined DoT potency is 240 which isn't affected by fall off. Maximum damage would be 480 and minimum 360 after all DoT ticks.

But to answer your question, I'm not sure. I didn't want to make it too strong.

Yeah the stun would pretty much be the only thing I'd use it for and honestly it's kind of absurd that any ability uses half our mana bar to begin with. Imagine if Warriors burned half their TP on a skill, it's crazy and dumb that they made DP like that now to begin with.

[kashi11]

Might as well remove the ability if they did that.

Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s

Changing the ability as I stated basically allows healers to top you off as soon as possible without nullifying the defensive buff. Essentially turning it into something similar to holmgang with a longer CD, but it still requires you to die to activate, and has the risk of dying after.

Edit: Actually I understand what you mean now. I would rather change the effect from most attacks will not lower your HP below 1, to renders you impervious to most attacks.
