Drk: worst designed class

[Jandor]

I have a few ideas on how to get around this, but they all require blood gauge reworks and I have no idea if Square is willing or able to do that.

One idea I keep thinking of, that I'm not 100% sure on tbh, is having blood gauge be a copy of your HP bar.

People want DRK to use HP to fuel abilities, it's FF tradition, but obviously it can't here because it's a tank in this game. But if DRK had a big lifesteal focus, and all HP you lifesteal from an enemy is also copied into your blood gauge, well that's thematically rather close. You're not just using your HP as a resource, you're exclusively using the HP of your enemies, to hurt your enemies even more! (or even to protect your allies.)

Would require a lot of reworking though, plus without knowing more about the MP/TP merger it's kind of hard to speculate. I can't see them making everything that currently uses TP free, but a lot of people seem to think that's how it'll go.

I don't know, as I said, not sold on it myself. I like it thematically, but gameplay wise would require a lot of tweaking.
