    Subclassing with DK was inferior prior anyways, you'll be fine. This is an improvement... or will be when whip gets its 300 wd back.
    Zos then: Vengeance is just a test bro

    Zos now: Do you want Vengeance permanent or permanent...

    Subclassing with DK wasn't optimal before but Ardent Flame was usable because of being able to boost both burn and poison statuses, FoO being highly efficient and Claw being long lasting so good to use in long rotations like beaming.

    Guess what's all going away?

    What? Since when? That definitely isn't true for dps, healers, tanks, or solo builds. Besides, they should be roughly equivalent, not clearly better OR worse.

    That's objectively false. In the latest trial HMs (where optimising matters actually) in U47, Ardent Flame was the 3rd most popular skill line for DDs, after Herald and Assassination. It was a part of the beam Arc/NB(or Plar)/DK, runeblades Arc/NB/DK and Cro/NB/DK, that's basically all popular DD archetypes in post-multiclassing ESO, and those are the highest parsing options from them. So, Ardent wasn't "usable"; it was optimal.

    And for tanks, Earthern Heart was also the 3rd most popular pick, after Winter's Embracee and Soldier of Apocrypha.

    It’s so painful because they was so close to having it all right aswell
    As I’ve said before lower avalanche times
    Add crit to the new crit damage
    Put the wd/sd back on molten whip allow it to work with dragonfire and if need be from there additional 2% damage done per stack to monsters

    This is exactly right!

    They pigeon-holed the class.

    Subclassing with DK was fun before this. The elementalist builds are amazing :3
