DRK is useful for 6 man tojil, we do MNK MNK DRK BRD WHM SCH. Possibly useful on the new Yorcia fracture. Outside of that DD is all about MNK or RNG due to how hard everything hits now. SE got tired of players complaining about people just zerging everything with buffed melees so they created boss's that can hit you for 2000~4000 damage. Only two ways to survive that are to have really high HP (MNK) or in extreme case's to simply not be in range of the attack (RNG) while dumping all your hate onto a turtle PLD. This leaves every other DD out in the cold since they don't have the HP to survive the attacks nor can they effectively fight from outside the range.
