Trying to understand the complaints about DRK

[whiskeybravo]

Not my ideas, but:

DA affect GCDs only. This would help reduce double-weaving of oGCDs which some people have problems with depending on latency, and is a somewhat contradictory design considering the main effect of Blood Weapon. (oh you like double weave? How about double weave with HASTE lol)

Related - add another GCD or 2 that you can "hold" DA on (the old Delerium combo achieved this I believe). Hard Slash is basically the only GCD where you can hold a DA, since you ideally wouldn't be doing a lot of aggro combos. Adding another GCD with no DA effect reduces the need to double weave abilities with DA because you can pop it in advance instead of having to squeeze it in on a double weave.

After the 4.3 changes, all the tanks have a very close balance, and any further buffs could easily break that.

Now this is confusing. Most of the complaints about DRK were before 4.3 changes. If you've been talking about people complaining since 4.3, and wondering why, well.. Then none of what I said is really valid. Everything I've been discussing is the last 11 months of complaints/feedback that brought about the 4.3 changes we have today.. DRK still needs some improvements but it's in the best spot it has been since SB launch. One step at a time.
