DRK change idea

4.) 20y forward is a huge distance, all other dashes/backflips of that type are 10-15y. There is a good chance you are going to overshoot your intended spot; without Plunge existing as an alternative (targeted) dash, this would be actually a painful gimmick to deal with. Alternatively, it could behave like Shukuchi (ground-targeted) or Icarus (can be used on teammates), that way it would stand out again.

5.) Replace it with a proc that let's use Plunge after using Unmend (and lower the Lv requirement to learn it to at least the Lv62-70 range).

Enhanced Unmend (Lv.54-70 Trait)
Upon execution of Unmend you are granted the effect of "Plunge ready", changing the action Shadowstride to Plunge and allowing you to use Plunge without cost.

Plunge (Lv.54-70 Ability)
Rushes target and delivers an attack with a potency of 200.
Bonus effect: Enhanced enmity

I had considered 10y-15y range for the thrust movement skill and I am ok with it, I slapped 20y on it because it gives more challenge as it is more likely to overshoot.
But your argument is right, 10y-15y is more practical.

In fact, I think it is a fun idea to combine my overkill 20y thrust and your Unmend proc trait. Then DRK movement skill becomes something like: You want control over direction->don't use unmend; You want your movement to be precise-> use unmend.

I would want DRK movement skill cooldown to decrease from 30s to 20s if unmend don't reduce shadowstride cooldown. May as well give my thrust movement 70-100 potency, good luck using that 20y thrust as a dps skill.

Create more choice making on the utility side of the job while keeping the DPS side simple and straightforward

They idiot proof drk aint no way they are going make it harder.

gotta at least let them know there are people who don't want to have the same gameplay as the idiots'

and my changes are mainly utility changes, the dps rotation remained basically the same. People should have no problem doing dps even with these changes
