Suggestions to make DRK less miserable to play against in Frontline

[Mistress_Irika]

Currently going to wait until the next live letter regarding 7.1. There's quite a few things that should have been done in order for DRK to not become such a pain:

1.) Bring back diminishing returns.
2.) Slash damage on all AOEs the moment it touches a second person.
3.) Have the LBs charge only while you're participating in the fight.

Seeing that I already had a few people saying that the LB charging does not need to be changed at all for frontlines I'll keep away and won't screw up the process with offering change. I will say this though: the moment aoe targets gets capped is the moment majority will start spamming range classes (not like people don't already do this at certain times of the day).

Remove plunge so they can't jump in to pull everyone immediately. Replace plunge with unmend with 2 or 3 charges so they can poke from a distance occasionally. This also adds a different playstyle than the other tanks. Salted earth is mainly a problem because plunge can close the distance must faster than the people defending can get away. If everyone had a dancer or pictomancer dash you wouldn't see nearly as much complaining about Dark Knight as you do currently.

Only 1 change needs to be implemented to fix DRK being OP in Frontline while having almost no bearing on CC: Purify should make you immune to draw-in effects. The end. That would solve it. That would fix almost all the gripes minus the 45 minute long invincibility.

Both of these suggestions would go a long way to improve DRK without completely gutting the class. Even just one or the other would be an improvement, especially changing how Purify works.
