I've now done EVERYTHING every other tank does, and either kept up with or just plain crushed them on DPS.

Whoa buddy, if you're going to lie at least try not to make it so obvious with something like "The WAR takes WAY more damage than we do"

I'm sure some post are BS. About refusing and just want complaints so it gets SE attention and buff DRK.

I really don't understand why SE have to build a job less usefull than the other two of the same category. This issue are so obvious, how can't you see that coming?

By the way, easy fix: put out the marauder sub-class and welcome in Lancer. Keen fury fits better with the DrK ability, invigorate can solve the TP issue ( no reason to have a TP issue when you are a MP managing class). Blood for Blood fits in the job story and mood, increasing the Dps of the bit needed to keep up with a War to use in OT stance.

DRK is just fine for EX, it is MCH that is actually in a very weak position utility/number wise and I see almost always (whenever I check) being told to gtfo on party finder comments/DPS specifically removed MCH/BRD spots.

Never seen that for DRK yet.

I don't think DRK should have any problem getting spots, I have had many of them in Ravana and they work the same as a WAR/PLD. *Note: I HEAL them so I'd know.

This sounds like a story we're only getting half of.

I've yet to see a group really care about this. I suspect that the player has something to do with it, or is exaggerating.

Doesn't matter. The comment "SE has a good history with class balancing" is far from true. As FF 11, through it's entire life span, has been broken and never fixed nor balanced.

Does FF 14 have a decent history with class balancing? To the point the job is playable, but not under optimized situations, yes.

SE has a good history with class balancing in Final Fantasy XIV. Warrior was broken beyond belief at the start of 2.0 and was very quickly brought up to par.

so tell them that their group is garbage anyway if they are relying on a tank for DPS. say thanks for letting you know and join another group lol

that deja vu tho

just replace DRK with WAR and this could have been posted during 2.0

ZERO's main group is one of the best groups on Adamantoise and Serenity is playing DRK. They have had no trouble so far.

To me that is a strong implication that most people complaining about DRK honestly don't know shit about shit and are just regurgitating everything they heard from someone else. This is why i take such a heated stance towards mindless bitching.

all this whining, just to ruin the game for everyone else enjoying DRK because there are people who want their apples to be a bunch of goddamn oranges.

A good group (assumed by your comment) playing easy content well with DRK doesn't prove anything. Now if they choose to do progression during Alex Savage in two weeks with a DRK I'd be impressed.

DRK needs some tweaking because progression groups will be looking for the most effective ways to clear content. Losing PLDs HG and WARs path/eye will be extremely tough.
