Thread: 5.3 patch complete note. Yes just keept upgrade WAR and forget about DRK

Yes but there isn't a unified "here's how." There's several ideas, and all of them have their merits, but that's the problem.

WARs: Fix Nascent!
SE: How?
WARs: NO TARGET TO USE PLEASE.
SE: There done.

DRKs: FIX US!
SE: How?
DRKs: (several posts and topics and comments all bringing their own ideas)
SE: *shrugs* figure it out first.

That explains so much with healers.

At least with the healer mains, we compiled a post providing a summary of the healer issues. We just need SE to actually listen to us for a change, which may be unlikely given the circumstance. With DRK mains, they've been going back and forth for the past year. People keep going on and on about what the job should be, what can we do about it's self-healing capabilities and Living Dead reworks. Yet DRKs mains never provided a unified message. I know the job isn't as great as it once was, but at least work with what you have first. Then once you get Yoshi-P and SE's attention, which is hard to do, build from there.

cutting out all the rest of your lengthy post because...

bruh. chill. yes, it's annoying and aggravating DRK is seemingly always getting shafted. but look at the whole picture.
DRK's always been clunky in this middle-child-syndrome of the tanks. SE clearly ran out of ideas to design DRK for 5.0 that would draw more players to it, so they just made a kit nigh identical to WAR's. Now it "functions fine," even at the cost of it's identity being tied entirely to one skill that's good, and one skill that's bad.

Everyone has an opinion on how DRK can and should be fixed. there is NO UNIFIED CONSENSUS on fixing LD, let alone the rest of DRK's kit.
WAR's had specific ideas for simple problems.
SE designed themselves into this mess by making LD a complicated ability to fix, and the playerbase aint helping by having myriad ideas to fix it.

But attacking other people just because? They aren't DRK mains??? My guy.
