Defensive ability, WAR VS DRK

[Reynhart]

Defiance = Grit

Not exactly, but the difference is slim. For them to be exactly on par, Defiance should buff healing received by 25%

Storm's Path = ???/SoulEater/Abyssal Drain/Reprisal/Darkdance

Souleater heals way more than Storm's Path, do to the far higher potency under Dark Arts. And Abysall Drain doesn't require a combo, can be enhanced every two hits (As long as you have MP), and hits all targets nearby thus giving you massive HP back. With Blood Price up, I think DRK can be king of speedruns
I think DRK will benefit more than other Tank from a Parry build, to help put Reprisal every 30s.

DRK also has another cooldown to reduce magic damage.
