DRK cant do anything better than PLD but dps and magic mitigate. And they arent that far ahead in DPS.
How does a WAR outshine a DRK in defense? In offense as an OT, sure. As a MT, WAR doesn't really have anything over DRK. PLD is still going to be the "safest" MT.

I just MT'd Ravana and there were no issues dealing with the heavy hits. I had plenty of CDs to handle them. In fact, I swapped MT with the PLD after the first failure. Succeeded the second time. Sure, it's not raids, but if a WAR can MT a raid, a DRK can do so just as well or better. As far as OT, WAR is probably a little better than DRK, but not by much.

As I said, most of the negative-Nancy replies are coming from gut reactions, and for some reason most of it is coming from WARs. I don't know if they feel threatened or what...
