DRK issues - another thread

[Rydia_Misuto]

I want back Stormblood DRK, straight-up. I want back Blood Price, I want back more than one melee combo, I want back gauge management as a mechanic that's meaningful, I want back salted earth having a use and being an aimed AOE, and I haven't had any fun tanking since Shadowbringers. Endwalker was the first time I let my sub lapse since 2.1 (and for 16 months, even) and I'm tired of what my favorite tank job has become. I was there leveling DRK day one of heavensward and I have waited patiently for five years, I'm tired of waiting and I'm tired of "next expansion we promise we'll fix it this time actually for sure."

It wasn't broken in Stormblood. Now they haven't just completely refused to add any depth back in, but they took Plunge from us, too? Plunge having stacks is just about the only good thing they've done for DRK since Stormblood, and now we don't even get Plunge anymore.

They butchered the entire job just because people didn't like Dark Arts. Heavensward/Stormblood was the peak of DRK instead of the vastly inferior Warrior clone we have now.
