Tank Questions

DRK can be a lot of fun, but that changes very quickly if you get a healer that only knows their Holy and Glare buttons exist.

Oh man, I was running the first Endwalker dungeon to level up my DRK and wow, it's awful having to rely on a healer, not gonna lie, had a Sage that REALLY struggled to keep my alive, while on my PLD all of the dungeons were a breeze, even if the healer wasn't the best around.

Yeah I keep flip flopping between DRK and PLD. I have PLD at 80 and DRK at 75. PLD’s play style is just kinda boring to me but I do feel very fragile as a DRK having to rely on the healer. Maybe give Blood Weapon a lifesteal effect after you use it? I really want DRK to be good.

Trust me my man... I think we all do at this point.

Which is why a nerf to Bloodwhetting's healing wouldn't do a thing to it in raids, you got 2 healers to help you there.

why nerf a balanced spell in raid ?

I don't know, why DID they nerf Abyssal Drain?

[Undeadfire]

RI/Bloodwhetting is fine in raids, it's broken in dungeons.

Change it to GCD cast instead of target hit, job fixed and balanced out more.

Why nerf an ability simply because it's strong in irrelevant content?

[Sqwall]

This is not blizzard. SE does not do such drastic nerfs, WAR didn't worry in Shadowbringers when their heal was also strong enough to heal through dungeons easily and they don't worry about nerfs now since in raids WAR is perfectly balanced.

I completely agree with this. WAR is pretty much smack dab in the middle with the other tanks in a savage setting. I think the two things the healers I run with say are. Warrior + tank busters = less stress. Our sustain is just to dang good with, Thrill, Equal, Bloodwhetting, Nascent (when shared or split busters in P3S), and the crème de la crème...Holmgang. The best part of P2S is that I can literally LAUGH at the shared tank buster 3 TIMES in the whole fight with holmgang.

And two....I feel warrior is a very versatile tank next to maybe paladin. I don't know how many times I saved a run with shake it off. The final downflow + Coherence...throw out shake it off and it gives the healers a little more peace of mind. Or tossed Nascent on a healer to keep them alive to then use LB3 when the crap hit's the fan.

I could gush about warrior all day! It's the easiest tank to play, has good damage, self sufficient, strong mitigation, and it's pretty rewarding.

Warrior suits me perfectly I suppose.

I don't know, why DID they nerf Abyssal Drain?

Maybe because it was deserved ? I'm not into dev mind, but if you think nerf AD was a mistake, then do not act like them asking for another unecessary nerf.
