Dark Knight Megathread

[MagiusNecros]

DRK should get a big heal of some sort. Clemency(1200 pot), Equil(1200 Pot), Aurora(1200 pot over 18 seconds) are all great heals on the others. Abyssal requires 6 mobs to get to 1200 pot but can get more in big wall to wall pulls. It was better when it costed MP since it could actually be worth using multiple times in succession. Anything less and it's automatically worse.

And the other aforementioned 3 can still get their full heal in any fight. DRK cannot. DRK requires AoE fights. With at least 6 targets.

Abyssal Drain
Level 56 | Ability | 60s Recast

Deal unaspected damage with a potency of 200 to your target and all enemies near it, and inflicts your primary target with Blood Price for 9 seconds.
Additional Effect: Restores HP
Cure Potency: 300

Blood Price: Heals the Dark Knight for each weaponskill or spell they land against the target.
Cure Potency: 300

At that point it'd be even as a burst heal at 4 targets, improved from 6, and over time even at a single target (300 direct + 3 hits' worth at 300 each for a total of 1200).

A second charge, since it'd actually include gameplay-affecting capacities, would also be appreciable as a trait.

Edit: You could also make it even more external-friendly, by having Blood Price cause the enemies' attacks to heal their victim for 300 potency each. (Imagine that before a Goobie Rush... It's just barely situational enough not to necessitate it's badly balanced down.)

Would honestly just prefer they return the StB version back to us.. instant cast with no cooldown. It made for unsynced runs and large synced pulls with more healing then just spamming our normal AoE. An with Unleashed giving MP now it could easily be a solo sustain combo to refill your hp and mp between the two .. tho it wouldn't help with Living Dead still..
