Yes I am serious, yes it is overpowered, yes I want other jobs to get buffs to their utility as well(looking at you, AST Sects...) and no I couldn't even clear O4S dummy as DRK and didn't want to try with other tanks because of DRK... I pretty much gave up on tanking after failing to clear that dummy after being several ilvls higher and STILL FAILED....(no I was not using Grit on the dummy since it made for DPS only)

- Blood Price alone puts Equilibrium to shame. That allows a WHM to gain an additional 3,000 HP on a baseline Cure II... for 15 seconds. That equates to roughly 17,000 healing every 25 seconds. Equilibrium doesn't heal for that much and it's on a 60 second cooldown.
- Sole Survivor is flat out better than blood Trick Attack. It's a fucking AoE Trick Attack for 30 seconds I don't even have to say how insanely OP that is.
- The Blackest Night... a 30 second 20% Shield? Good job putting Vengeance and Sheltron to utter shame.

At this point, the new comp would include all three tanks, with Bard or Machinist benched for Dark Knight. Hell, you might want two Dark Knights regardless.

Can you think of any better ideas for that don't involve more unnecessary nerfs to already existing classes? Like asking for buffs to the classes that you listed to get similar buffs?

Adjustments need to be made on a far smaller scale. While this may be a personal wishlist of yours, it’s completely unrealistic. Even if the developers were to start considering the hefty amount of feedback concerning DRK, they would never incorporate the majority of the changes you have suggested in the opening post.

Well they would need to apply these buffs bit by bit during 4.2...

Don't you mean "unholy"...?

You might as well just ask for DRK to be a DPS role with all those items on your wish-list. But you do you.

I know that this is your wishlist mate, but you should take the costructive criticism that some have told you, some of this proposal are out of line and as some have said are prone to cause more bad than good, consider that it is for a similar reason of ppl requesting raid utility for WAR that DRK are in this state

WAR's will always keep asking for more... it's in their nature to ask for things to kill, more damage more utility, more DPS more everything and they will never be satisfied... for the beast within is too much for them to control... DRK's are only asking for to right the wrongs that have been unjustifiably placed on them... whereas PLD's asking for the other 2 tanks to calm down and go sit in the corner until PLD's need them for new content...(not sure how accurate what I just to the mains who take their class seriously enough but so far seems to be very accurate or at least that's how I see it...)
