DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

Wrong, TBN is probably the best safety net any tank has: Low cooldown, strong effect and costs next to no dps.
Unsurprisingly, DRK has been really good for progression because of TBN.

Strong effect? its only a 20% shield on self which is a 10k shield at best with current gear, meanwhile IB is 20% damage MITIGATION for like 8 seconds or something which will mitigate significantly more damage during its duration while also coupling as an attack, and clemency heals for overall more and not to mention actually scales with Convalescence and tencacity (healing dealt aspect). it can be used for raid wide support with Divine Veil. Also it really depends on the fight whether TBN is a small gain or a small loss tbh, on some fights it might not be worth it as a pure dps gain but still be a raid gain, and on some fights it will be both, due to how MP management stretches out over a whole fight, so basically uptime.

Wrong. When a WAR 'turtles up' with IB they lose a ton of dps. A DRK loses next to nothing and might even gain some dps if used correctly.
Also using TBN on AA can easily result in a raid dps gain if the healers can spend more time casting offensive spells.

eh? stance changes on WAR is FREE and IB ignores the damage penalty from Defiance, at most you'll gain a LOT more suriviability in exchange for 2000 (pulling numbers out of thin air) damage down the drain? that's not a big DPS decrease considering you get so much survivability for it. Meanwhile DRK Grit is on the GCD, costs a lot of MP and locks you away from BW. Having to switch to Grit (if unprepared) is EXTREMELY punishing so i really dont see what you're talking about when you say "looses nothing"

Third

Dont you mean 4th? :P
