I'd quite like a healer class like the chemist of Final Fantasy Tactics. Mixing different things together and then throwing potions at both friend and foe alike. Extra points if it wasn't just another robe class...
Got my Goldsmith to 46, but sadly ran out of leve-allowances.
Guess I'll just take it slowly and obtain those four levels with Ixal dailies while allowing leve-allowances to recharge.
Don't forget SWTOR bounty hunters who healed you by shooting you with blaster pistols.
Uh.. these "Facility Access: Specialization" -dailies are so annoying.

So i'm currently lvl.57 on DRK and after all the horror stories i'm finding it far more fun to tank with than paladin or warrior.
Then i noticed in dungeons i only die with AST players, and a quick look on the forums and the reddit showed a certain job was the only one majorly complaining about DRK, guess which?
My opinion is DRK is fine, its got so many cooldowns with cross job abilities that its hardly ever without an active defensive cooldown. I think people jumped on AST after 2 years of SCH and WHM and expect to do just as well when the DRK/AST synergy is not remotely figured out yet and assume its the tanks fault because surely after playing WHM or SCH for 2 years it can be you healing right?
But its a new job, one that seems the most underdeveloped of the 3 in practice and i think the moment its patched up a bit and given proper theorycrafting then AST players will be happy and the complaints about healing DRK's will mysteriously vanish.
I am a SCH and especially if I am running Alex in DF, I dread when I have both a DRK and an AST. Not all DRKs, but most DRKs I have run with a squishier than other tanks. I can normally deal with it, except in 8-man when the other healer is an AST and I am already having to cover the lack of heals.
My biggest problem with DRKs is that it seems like many of them do not think they need to upgrade their gear until they get to 50. I have been in several leveling roulette's where there is a DRK tank and we are doing mid-40's content and almost all their gear is level 32-36. Then they pull without Grit on.....then blame me when they die.
