SE... please (an honest DRK).

[TheCount]

Your only argument is that DPS wise they are close together and even then you acknowledge that DRK is slightly behind. Their mitigation is in a niche spot? Whom are you even trying to fool here man. Just admit the other two tanks are just in general better in every respect. Even the former strength of DRK has been stripped away for the most part considering a Paladin can block magic more reliably and easily and they don't even have to invest a chunk of mana to get the full effect. (which plays into the DRK problem with mana management)

I mean really now. Stop being so blatantly inaccurate. Why are you even trying to defend the DRK in its current state? Because it wouldn't make them unique? I'd argue that the heavensward version was more unique and really that's what people want back. The current state of DRK is more simplified and less unique than it ever has been. If you really cared about them being unique you would argue for turning these changes back because at least in Heavensward they truly did have their own niche - being THE anti magic tank with a nice flavor darkside, even an int debuff on the boss. It has had a strong dot removed, shadowskin removed, dark passenger nerfed into near uselessness, blood price nerfed. Why would you ever want to defend the current state of Dark Knight as if its more fun and unique.

Having taste-buds between your asscheeks is pretty unique too but you wouldn't want that either
