yes, it looks so interesting. Oh hey a pillow! zZzZzZz

It's bad enough that DRK's AoE combo is the first thing we get... at 72. EVERY OTHER TANK gets their AoE combo's at 40. Yes, we get Edge/Flood at 30/40 respectively, but DRK's AoE while syncing down makes no sense. Stalwart is also our only AoE method of MP regen without spending blood weapon. which can only be done every 60s. Syncing down as a DRK felt bad all of 4.x. 5.x is only going to make that worse.

Yet again, more "...at a cost" for DRK what does nothing for gameplay and just for "character lore." Instead of having Unleash combo into AD and making stalwart soul another kind of ability, DRK gets shafted.
