Drk: worst designed class

[Reynhart]

What makes Souleater healing "very little hp gain" is that it's locked behind Grit.

So,it's the same as WAR.

WAR and PLD heals sure are more powerful than Sole Survivor, but they aren't free. Inner Best / Equilibrium require tank stance, Clemency is a GCD and consumes mana which delays the following Requiescat buff, for example.

Sure, they're not free, but both WAR and PLD can recover a large amount of MP is a small window if something goes really bad. It's not optimal but having the option to spam 2 or 3 IB and Equilibrium just after Holmgang or spending your whole MP bar on Clemencies in 10 seconds max can save your life.

For me, DRK should have a way to heal back a lot of HP once in a while that would synergize a little better with Living Dead. For example, if Sole Survivor could place an HP leech debuff instead of recovering at the end, then, for that short period of time, every attack you'd make would heal you (Not 100% of dmg of course) which would help fix the image of DRK having a harder time recovering from bad situations than other tanks.

Fun fact for those who didn't play FFXI, the ultimate skill of DRK there, commonly used as an Oh!Sh*t! button (Once every 2h) had the effect of convertig 100% of your AA damage back to HP and was named Blood Weapon.
