Thread: Please make the Soul Eater heal not Grit-locked with DRK 4.3 changes

Seeing the listed Dark Knight changes in the preliminary patch notes for 4.3, there was a lot of good and much needed stuff in there, so thank you very much for that.

However there was one glaring omission that was disappointing to myself and many others to not see among the list of changes, namely the removal of the Grit requirement for the heal from Soul Eater.

This change has been one of the most highly requested changes for DRK for quite a while now.

Please consider slotting in this much desired simple change with the upcoming patch, it would be greatly appreciated by the Dark Knight playerbase.
If it is cutting it too close and is not possible with 4.3, then please include it with 4.31.

I mean, don't get me wrong the patch is a lot better than a few minor potency tweaks, but I'm honestly shocked they didn't address Living Dead and Souleater. Dark Arts is another strong point of contention, but I can at least understand that given how integrated it is with DRK's entire kit.

Eh. I wasn't expecting to get a free heal on every combo used. It'd make more sense on something you can hold / use tactically, like a DA Bloospiller or Dark Passenger.

While that'd be awesome to have, and I certainly wouldn't complain, I think a 20% HP leech on Blood Weapon would fit the job very well too. In a pinch you could try to line up Bloodspillers in the BW window for the heals, and it would make Delirium even better. In Grit you'd have a more bulky and non-cooldown restrained heal and damage mitigation, while out of it you'd rely on/take on the challenge of doing good damage across the board to keep yourself sustained.

I agree and think it will happen if people keep asking for it.

It's definitely not going make it to patch 4.3 though.
That ship has sailed.

While I would love to have it for 4.3, I doubt that is a possibility.

However, if they are considering more changes down the line for DRK, please make sure this is considered.

Much like the Shadow Wall change, this is just as highly requested.

Agreed. Though I doubt we'll see in it this patch since SE normally finalizes job changes with the preliminary patch notes, I'd really like to see it in a hotfix or later patch.

Anyone here know Japanese and willing to post this in the "DRK Improvement Plans" thread over there? Getting visibility on the Japanese forum would probably be a good way to get more folks on board with the idea.
