SE... please (an honest DRK).

[Etrius]

If you really want us DRK to stop playing, you just need to ask nicely instead of doing these half-assed changes.

I REFUSE TO PLAY ANY OTHER TANK! (Blood Gauge increased)

Don't get me wrong, PLD nerf was a joke, WAR changes looks awesome and I have no idea what some people are talking about...

I honestly hope that someone forgot to copy/paste the full DRK changes for 4.2, because that's NOT OK.

And since I don't even need Roulette bonuses with my DRK, you DPSs can all rot while waiting for queues!

Meanwhile... i'll just cry in some corner of Eureka while grinding my new DRK relics in 4.25 .

The Blood rage is real!

PLD nerf is indeed not really magnificent. They still keep shield bash tho! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

WAR changes are actually... debatable, probably more a nerf than a buff.
They lose 10% dmg from Storm's Eye, yet potencies are buffed just around ~5-8% overall.
Burst windows are screwed now.

Why does TBN not give blood after its duration is over? They did this with Scholar, why not Dark Knight?

But you forgot that there's no RNG involved on their bursts, its full DHCrit!
While my DRK was doing 8k damage Crits (never seen an actual DHCrit), I saw WARs doing 20k!

Now when you remove the RNG factor, they'll do like 16-18k 3/4x in a row!

I feel violated.

I feel violated since the time I saw how little tank classes there is and how poorly balanced those are around each other. I used to be a drk lover then I took a nerf arrow to the knee. Now I m war main and somehow I feel there might be "unfun" arrow incoming. I really got attached to war SB 4.1 and drk HW playstyle and it was in good spot imo.

A CritDH Fell Cleave could actually deal up to 33k dmg with raid buffs (yeah, that sounds insane, but it is EXTREMELY rare).

Well, now the burst window is only 10s from 20s, 90s CD reset up from 60s.

That means this burst window is off every 2nd time for raid buffs, AND most of the rotation is based on non-burst GCD.

But they did indeed nerf the non-burst damage with Storm's Eye nerf, and didn't fully compensate with those potency buffs.

In addition, zerk is FULLY lost on lvl 70 due to this new trait. Zerk is IR and does NOT buff the damage by 30%.

Someone already did the math: MATH

Still, I see DRK behind PLD and WAR, which is pretty sad.

Yes!!!!! Thank you for saying this!

The Why does TBN not give blood after its duration is over? They did this with Scholar, why not Dark Knight?

I think rather than giving a guaranteed blood after the duration is over, I’ll prefer if it gave blood based on the % damage the shield took. Like say there’s a 12k hp TBN, and it took 6k, upon expiration you will receive 25 blood.

As a DRK main I feel bad for WAR, but at the same time the PLD nerf really isnt as big as I thought it would be.

They said in the live letter that they increased DRK's dps and overall usability. However in the patch notes and crunching numbers people have already determined that its a less than 1% increase to DRK's damage output and still does not solve the mitigation problems.

I guess we will have to wait for 4.3 for any real changes, unless they decide in 4.3 that they need to redo WAR.........again
