    The issue is, pretty much, Reprisal being garbage compared to Storm Path, and impossible to apply when offtanking. Also, you bring no debuff that increases any damage on the mob, thus you need a Ninja to go with the DRK (and DRKs have TP issues anyway). If you use a DRK maintank, though, you ll want a warrior offtank, who will make your Reprisal useless. Reprisal is really only useful with a PLD offtank (yeah, right), or a second DRK.

    Lets not talk about the disappointment of our Invulnerability skill.

    I hope the next 10 levels bring us a bit ahead. So far I can safely say, DRK is noticably worse than the other tanks, by a solid margin. Probably not impossible to do all content with a DRK tank of course, but it sure is going to be more of a pain in terms of setup optimization, healer strain and general DPS.

    I might be wrong but I think I saw Reprisal stacking with Storms path in my run of Ravana earlier today. Worth testing on a dummy at some point because I'm not 100% sure if I was reading the right stuff.

    Both debuffs are definitely active at the same time but I am not certain they are actually stacking, can't imagine them allowing that. Needs testing.
