Tank Fixes

[shao32]

On bosses, your primary use of of DA was to:
Buff Soul eater.
Buff Siphon Strike.
Buff C&S.
Buff DP (depending)
Buff BS.

Heck, they even removed the DA effect from DM because Yoshi-P knew that the very concept of how they've designed this game would make most serious DRk players outright ignore DM's DA effect due to it being a straight dps loss.

Notice the similarity between them all? Adding extra damage by spending MP. You know what OGCD(s) DRK has in SHB that does damage by spending MP?
My point is that DA's primary purpose in SB has been replaced by another OGCD that also fixed the downside to most people's complaints regarding DA. If they wanted to bring DA back, give it a new effect thats more meaningful, as in SB it's primary function and use during bosses was literally a 140 potency OGCD, which EoS & FoS have nicely fixed and replaced.

And my point is they choose they laziest option because they are short minded.

DA use to have several uses in the past, one of the bringing combo diversity, the skill himself was pretty important for the job identity, I compare DA to his HW version too in mind and she skill have different purposes on aoe situations so they are not the same, comparing one thing with only a part of the other is not a good way to make comparations.
,SB DA design was a mistake in some ways yes but remove the entire mechanic because they have a problem with the rates? They forget what the skill use to bring? It could be a nice partner with edge so darkside wasn't on auto keep mode making the new gauge more useless that the lillis of SB, they could use it to bring more combos as we asked like the HW ones instead of locking us with the soul eater combo all day, they could use it to bring different effects as you toggle his uses with edge but no.

Removing DA was lazy, short minded and unimaginative way to do things, they don't have any idea how to design DRK and that's why we have all this drama around him.
