TBN is busted. It's literally the best personal CD, as Raw intuition is complete GARBAGE compared to Nascent flash. It's just shake it off fodder.

DRK's damage is not packed into 10s windows where you are heavily punished for messing them up or not having complete and total uptime.... drks' damage is spread evenly, with Shadow, BW windows every 60s, Delirium every 90s, Edge that can be moved for raid buff windows whenever you want.... and so forth.

Warrior is stuck on a 90s cycle. that's it. 90s cycles SUCK in savage and ultimate. Don't believe me? Play a job with a 90s skill and TELL ME it's feeling good when those are coming up.

1) DRK needs something done with Living Dead. DRK could do with a 4th GCD combo so it isn't 123 the entire fight.
2) RI is SiO fodder yes, and Nascent is good, sure. But TBN being the strongest single target shield means bupkis if you use it and it doesn't break. (had this argument before that it's uSeR eRrOr so many times, idc.)
3) You literally contradicted yourself here. DRK's damage IS baked into a 10s window, it's just not as good as IR. As well, BW is still awkward to time to get all 5 hits for the full 50 blood, whereas Infuriate is instant 50 gauge, so there's no chance of missing out and only getting 40 resource.
4) What do you think DRK does? 123 123 123 oh it's delirium time BS BS BS BS BS 123 123 123. Does DRK have oGCDs to weave inbetween? Sure! But other than that, it's almost the same loop as WAR.

Okay. I'll solve this miscommunication for you.

SE: How do we fix LD, players?
1: ADD CONVA EFFECT
2: DONT MAKE IT AUTO KILL YOU
3: CHANGE % OF HEALING REQUIRED
4: CHANGE WHAT THE EFFECT DOES

Look up my post history about all the things I've said about DRK since 4.0 if you so want. But my point still stands that there's too many ideas for how to fix LD. The ONLY CONSENSUS IS THAT IT SUCKS and even THAT is still lambasted by some people from within the tank community, vocal minority that they may be.
