Being good in a small niche is great and all...but what about the other like 80% of the content in FFXIV? xD

That seems to be the general consensus from what I am reading. I'm certainly not saying it is broken or unplayable etc because it is far from it, I just feel it needs to be looked at again so it engages with the majority of content to a similar level as the rest of the tanks.

Instead of the current 'does marginally better in high end content but is noticeably less efficient in all other content'

It feels like DRK is only relevant due to TBN now, hence why it excels in low damage scenarios as raids etc

In high damage scenarios i find it struggles and is significantly less independent than other tanks.

I dont think it needs a lot added for it to catch up, but for sure feels lacking.
