DRK Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Awha]

Snip . . .

The PSU response can be chalked off as DRK cleared ultimate it is fine, so clearly SE is operating on the viable = balance mindset. As I said before I agree that we have no reached the lol drk status yet, but we will. Since community perception is probably the only metric they care about.

If we do look at each class through their respective patches, 3.x pld and 4.0 drk are not so far off, pld had a niche which from what I can tell SE rode to the bank, they were still viable until it was too late to make any meaningful changes to the class until the next expansion. That niche is what cemented them as the meh tank within the community.

DRK does not have a niche which is good for us since at the very least that gives us a chance granted it is a small one, but still chance. 3.x pld due to having a niche from the start, never had a chance once the community started to follow the speed kill meta even for causal to mid core things.

Since I am pretty sure the logic behind SE for not reworking pld during 3.x was based around the fact that they had niche they fulfilled which made them viable, when SE finally took off the blinders it was too late to make any real meaningful changes.

DRK still has a chance, it is a small one, and while I do not want to say it you are right, more likely history is going to repeat itself, but hey we have a chance, and chance pld never had. So yeah I still cannot agree with how pld was better off then we are now. PLD was running on borrowed time within the community. While DRK is in the same position at the moment, at least we have some position to take with the devs. "What is DRK good for?" In time I really do think they will have a hard time answering that question, and when that does happen we may get looked at.

Overall I do agree though DRK is the weakest tank, much weaker then probably even 3.x pld, but that weakness is what gives us a chance to be looked out before 5.0. I know that it may be a stretch, but I am willing to bank on that hope that SE will not let a class that has no strength go unchanged for an entire expansion. Pld never had that chance, because they had a niche SE could always fall back on if people asked what about pld.

English is not my strong suit so sorry.
