DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

Because those tools are mostly useless since you shouldn't be taking damage 'all of a sudden'. Also Inner Beast not only loses you 150 potency, it also forces you to switch into Defiance for 10 seconds, which results in more dps loss.
The main reason why TBN is such a great skill is because it barely has any cost can not only be used on every tank buster but also auto attacks if time correctly.

Here's the thing. IB and Clemency are "extras". TBN is not. TBN is part of our 3 core cooldowns that every tank has (Sheltron/Bulwark/Sentinel, Vengeance/Thrill/Raw) not counting invulns and cross role stuff. Dark Knight doesn't have any "extras". This is what people aren't happy about.

What's more, for those core cooldown suites, there is no real resource management required. DRK is the only tank that has only 2 "free" cooldowns and no cooldowns that last longer than 10 seconds.

??? Those "extras" are useless, IB at least. I agree that DRK defense is somewhat lacking, but I'd rather see a buff to Shadow Wall instead of another useless CD.

For real?

IB is one of the most powerful abilities in the game, and the healing throughput on Clemency is insane.

"Good for prog, bad for farm/parse runs" ≠ "Useless".

The point is, they are safety nets that PLD/WAR have and DRK does not. If we aren't going to have access to those safety nets (which are extremely useful during prog and when learning a fight, or even just covering for mistakes because, ya know, those do happen even in farm/parse groups), then yes, our existing cooldown suite needs significant buffs/re-tuning.
