DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[SyzzleSpark]

I don't get this. If nobody cared then why so much use in savage? why not use WAR over DRK in savage?

Wouldn't the world's best min-maxers know best if it mattered or not?

A lot of people DO use WAR over DRK in savage. Most world first groups took DRK for insurance, and because its DPS rotation was easier and less punishing (at the time, now WAR is back to being fuck-all easy again if you know the fight even just a little bit). But nowadays, TBN isn't worth much. There's nothing it can mitigate that the MT isn't perfectly capable of mitigating with their own CDs, and 5K isn't enough to wholly replace a CD in their rotation. So no, TBN is not really utility:

The main problem that I have with the word "utility" in these discussions is that it's often used to describe things that often don't confer a benefit. I can shield a WAR with TBN on a tankbuster for 25% of my MP and a minor dps loss, but there's no point in doing so if they're more than capable of surviving on their own by having access to largest free mitigation suite in the game. It's fun, yes. If it's balanced as a dps gain (as it was in 4.01 for a whopping 4 potency per use), then it's just a personal dps gain, not utility.
