It's been on my mind for a bit now, and at the end of the day Im pretty dissatisfied with DRK in ShB. Enough to the point that part of me actually thinks SB DRK with DA spam was better.

At the end of the day, it boils down to DRK just feeling uninspired. I know its a bit of a meme to say Delirium is essentially a reskinned IR, but its kinda true. It feels like that. I dont feel rewarded for spamming 5 BS in a row. Not to rag on Warriors, but if I wanted to do that, Id play warrior. EoS and FoS are just oGCDs that eat up spare mana and its pretty much use it until you have 3k mana OR if you have a nin, just spam it in your TA window. It feels brain dead frankly. Even with SB DRK, you had to manage your Blood, mana, and CDs a bit more, along with managing DA with your other oGCD so you could double weave correctly without clipping and getting as many DAs into BW window. Yeah it was a ton of spam. Yeah at times it was annoying, but current DRK has become so uninspired. bland, and what not that Im just not enjoying it.

Ill say that it could be just fatigue. Ive been playing DRK pretty much since HW and havent focused on any other class or Role (outside of dabbling with monk or bard), but that just highlights how lackluster DRK feels. When I play monk, it feels more rewarding to do things. It feels more complicated and I feel like "Hey, Im actually getting some bang for my buck here." I dont get that with DRK. It's disappointing cause Im a sucker for big swords and that edgy knight. I like the aesthetics of DRK, just it's playstyle is IMO a huge failure for this xpac. It feels like devs phoned this in rather than came up with something thats fun and interesting to play.

It's probably my greatest criticism thus far for the xpac.

Since weve been at this for 2 months, anyone else have this feeling about their class now that weve had time to play it?

TLDR: DRK Rework for ShB feels unrewarding and uninspired. It is functional, but not fun to play. Anyone else have this experience with DRK or another one of their classes?
