Now that Dark Arts is gone...

DRKs new timer is Dark Side.
Darkside is extended by use of the 2 new moves "X of Darkness"
X of Darkness is used when you have "Dark Arts" effect up, which is on the timer face.
You gain Dark Arts when the blackest night breaks.

I thought it was that Dark Arts is expended instead of MP when you use X of Darkness?

You are right. Mara is just posting the same incomplete stuff everywhere.

I hope so, having high healing (in terms of a tank, not saying make them self sufficient) feels like a good identity for dark knight, and abyssal drain + soul eater retaining its healing without needing grit or dark arts would do just that

I do feel like Drk should the "mitigate damage by healing it" style tank. Granted it would end up looking like a copy of WoW's Death Knight, but I like the idea giving Drk an off-hand that gives them a life steal mechanic to all their attacks like how pld shields give them blocks. Nothing wild, but enough to mitigate incoming damage to be the same relative power of pld's blocks while giving Drk it's on flavor. It would be cool to see something like pld = blocking damage, war = parrying/dodging damage, drk = healing damage, gnb = creating bubbles to nullify damage. Just something so that Pld isn't the only tank with passive mititgation on top of their active and on demand healing.
