Defensive ability, WAR VS DRK

[Syfer22]

It'll be interesting to see if the new end game content is designed with DRK in mind to give them a potential spot/niche to fill.

If they do, it would penalize paladins and warriors whom are better set up to deal with physical tank busters (paladins being, almost exclusively set up for that).

You basically are going to end up pissing someone else off. A better solution is just to fix dark knights to have better defensives--its not a major change either. Remove 20% dodge from dark dance + dark arts and add on 10% mitigation to all, and chance shadow wall to also give you a free dark arts proc (since its kind of terrible at the moment vs vengeance or sentinel).

Then give them a real debuff they can use as an off tank..and your done? Everything after that is quality of life.

Why would it piss someone off (stupid question on the internet, I know)? It's not like WAR/PLD CAN'T do the content, they just may not handle it quite as well as a DRK can.

Granted, even if they did go that route, I still can't think of many situations a PLD/WAR wouldn't be able to handle something as well or better than a DRK.
