Is it me, or is DRK really isn't that super great, nor super bad.

You mean Reprisal. The bad thing about it, it has a 30 recast time, so you can't keep it up for two reasons: RNG (parry) + CD. Compared to Storm's Eye, which can be up by following the OT routine. Reprisal is an actual "downgrade". It's useful, as they say, if there's no MNK in your group... and if the boss doesn't attack you with magical attacks. 'Cuz, you can't parry a nova AoE.

The thing is I'm wondering if it will stack because this will actually bring in DRK+WAR combinations, potentially pushing WAR+PLD away. Even if it is 30 Second CD, 20% Debuff on damage + 20% Damage reduction is wonderful. I know not of PLD's action wise, isn't the only thing separating DRK and PLD the Attribute INT and STR accordingly(debuff wise)

We also have ALOT of tools to make Parry go off. We run more of a problem of using Reprisal often because the CD is too long. Also..Even if the boss uses magical attacks...that would be DRK's special area since we do have abilities to mitigate magic damage~
