One change for DRK: Darkside increases attack speed instead of damage

[Freyyy]

Really? A pissing match beteeen the 2 easiest tanks both trying to make their jobs sound like rocket science? Both jobs are pretty braindead right now and shadows of their older versions that had actual resource management, procs, and multiple combos, more defensive skills to manage, stance dancing, enmity concerns, etc.

You giys are just sounding ridiculous attempting to make these jobs sound so complex. They just arent. Drk has a bunch of ogcds, can bank/spend mp for raid buff optimization, and manage tbn properly. War banks gauge the same way as drks mp for burst windows, maintains eye, and (should be) managing nascent around your own damage flexibility and mitigation needs in a tweaked way that drk tries to min max tbn. None of these are terribly challenging, especially when se just reworked virtually every job to be steamlined and simplified way down from their previously punishing versions.

Where did you see me try to make DRK sound complex ? I'll quote myself :

Again I'm not saying DRK is hard or complex. Tanks are all easy af this expac and DRK definitely could use some more little things to make it stand out more (especially when looking at Delirium and IR). But saying DRK is WAR with less things to do is beyond ignorance.

Also again, I didn't say that DRK was a busy job. I said it was more busy than braindead WAR. Of course, compared to DPS jobs it's very lackluster. I also want SE to make tanks more complex and engaging. I've been saying it on multiple threads. Tanking in this game feels more and more shallow. I just don't think that "it only has one combo" is a valid reason to say a job is less busy or braindead. There are plenty of other reasons, and just giving them an extra combo finisher won't fix its problems. It might help (I suggested to give us Power Slash back with an interesting effect myself some time ago), but if we want to make the jobs more interesting and impactful we need more. [...]

I'm saying all over the place that DRK is easy, just like every single tank right now (and don't even get me started on GNB). I just find that there's way too much misinformation and people targetting the wrong things when saying the jobs are easy. Sorry for trying to be constructive instead of jumping on the "complain all the time" bandwagon by just saying the same "Oh YeAh dRk Is bOriNg" arguments in every single DRK thread.
