to Future DRK Players

[RatCopter]

I remember sitting there saying "...that's it?" after DRK's part in the trailer, and it took me a good day of sulking to really get over it, but my takeaway from it is that the new abilities is completely function over form. Nothing really flashy except the thing that looks like Flood 2. So with that in mind, I'm going to have to wait and get an actual feel for lvl 90 DRK to really have an opinion on it, rather then seeing what's new and trying to extrapolate from there.

The thing I liked most about previous iterations of DRK was it's, for lack of a better term, unorthodoxy. It didn't play like other tanks. ShB gave us something that played a lot like WAR sure, and I hate current Delirium as much as the next person, but this trailer showed me that we're taking a few tenative steps back towards that unorthodoxy; it looks as though that our new damage move is a follow up to Edge, as opposed to a burst ender like WAR's not!Confetiteor. That might be enough to keep me hooked, and especially with another shield to layer on with TBN.
I'm hopeful that's what it ends up being, and I'm also hopeful for a general oGCD cooldown reduction, that the "optimal use of defensives" translates to Dark Arts having extra potency, and that there's more interactivity to this new Salted Earth bubble move than just using it when it's up. Like building up stacks on an enemy inside it or something.

I am disappointed to see that Delirium probably won't be changed, ya boi Scourge isn't coming back(even though they've got a good system for DoTs now), and that the animation on the Salted Earth bubble baited me into thinking it was an upgraded Dark Missionary for like half a day. But otherwise, I'm cautiously optimistic about it all, which runs in stark contrast to all the doomsaying I'm seeing here lmao.

the "DoomSaying", as you refer to it, is just because emotions are to run high, at the moment... The Job changes reveal trailer did not look good, all it did was show off new things, and did not address any of the common concerns and/or common complaints about Dark Knight, that appear in the forums.
We have no idea if Blood Weapon was fixed, no idea if there was a change to Living Dead, no idea if there was a change to Delirium, and then that moment at the start of the Live Letter, when they more or less said that a lot Dark Knight players around here will be ignored.

so emotions are just to run high and burn hard, at the moment. After every player that was insulted by the Live Letter calms down a bit, and when we get our hands on 6.0 Dark Knight action tooltips, then the activity in the threads will swing one of three ways...
the changes end up to look good, despite how bad the Live Letter was, and complaints around here will be more passive, or Dark Knight looks terrible in 6.0, from our perspectives, in the case of no change or fix towards the most common complaints, and then either complaints around the threads become akin to a flood, or a lot of us may even just give up and disappear.

That has all these trailers have ever done and shown, to just be a teaser showcase of some of the new actions for the jobs. These have never really been detailed breakdowns of job changes, nor responses to address community concerns.

and we got a new wave and new dark bubbles in our singular bubble...
6.0 DRK's just tryna be some edgy copy-pasta spongebob character.
