What about creating an ACTUAL Dark Knight?

[MagiusNecros]

You know, these "high-risk high-reward" tanky jobs that sacrifices their own HP to protect themselves or deliver strong blows?
That literally steals vitality from their foes to survive?
Makes shield out of their foes' blood?
That do ACTUAL DARK STUFF.

Does is speaks to anybody?
Or is that just me? '^'

They are too scared and pathetic to consider HP costing abilities. They seem to be less interested in risk and reward and rather have a borefest that leads to high risk no reward.

I think they want the class fantasy to be basically everything you try to do is unfair to you.
