I agree on that. DRK's mitigation is good in raids, but it lacks the "independance" that both WAR and PLD have, with self-sustain.

But let's stay realistic, how would they tune DRK's defensive kit if they had a reliable life leech ? Dark Mind and TBN are already on a very short recast. Combine those two with Living Dead and the ability to self sustain up to full HP and you get an unkillable tank.

My point was, current Souleater restores about 80% of the damage as HP which is not that bad actually, and pretty much like WAR they have to switch to tank stance to benefit from it. Currently, all tanks have to sacrifice damage to self heal, and DRK's the least efficient at it.
