My Opinion about the Dark knights need redesigning threads.

[Ditto]

Can you please link me to these insane WAR dps parses (or vids) that everyone seems to be talking about? I have seen DRK at 900+, but nothing for WAR yet.

A good War will pull more than a Drk, not by a lot, but it's definitely not an insane amount.

That is, for the duration of a Drk's TP. A War will never run out of TP, or at least not very fast, if at all. A Drk will burn their TP less than halfway into the fight if they have 0 downtime between skills, and they have absolutely no way to recover their TP.

TP is the main problem. Outside of TP issues, War pulls ahead by a bit still, but nothing 'insane'.

dark arts with the enmity combo drowns out everyone else's hate.
if those other tanks are playing properly, they would have their tank stance off and not be as big of a threat as the dark is.
dark arts is so clutch and its always ready for you.
if other tanks are giving you hate problem dark arts and enmity combo.
paladin mitigate. warriors compensate and drks mit/comp/evade.
have you tried dark arts passenger followed with dark arts dark dance? evasion is nice.

Well congrats, you just ran out of MP and lost Darkside faster than you can say MP.

WAR does not out DPS either tank in OT situations, my FC has a plethora of tanks so we run a few as DPS for Bis/Rav Ex. especially since we can keep up with regular DPS and take a hit. Fel Cleave is great, but really only makes up for WARs lack of potency in general.

Tanking wise, in current content, all three tanks seem to be about equal. Rav Ex's Blinding Blade hits hard no matter what CD you use if you are tanking it solo. Granted I don't know why you wouldn't just throw a few of your higher HP DPS in to eat it with the tank when solo tanking seems foolish to let, even a PLD, eat 90% of his HP when it could easily be split 3 ways. Or just bring the second tank since OT DPS is damn near on par with regular DPS.

Monk is the least played DPS class, still (my FC has zero MNK mains), and DRK can reduce INT by 10%, none of the other tanks can do this, every fight so far has magic damage so it's a nice perk. Also Reprisal and Storm's Path stack, so if your DRK is MTing you're getting 20% damage reduction when Reprisal is up. If you want to view it over the whole fight, taking into consideration up-time, it's 16.7% raid wide damage reduction.

I'm working on getting WAR leveled to have both DRK/WAR for content, and I like both classes, but really the differences between them are smaller than the forums make them to be.

The only magic damage in Ravana EX (As fara s I know) are the hadoukens, and the split damage AOE after pillars of heaven. None of which do any bit threatening damage.

All the damage that matters is physical. Also, Dragons Kick > Delirium. Half the time I cant even put Delirioum on Ravan for some reason, and we don't have a Monk.

Also, Wars out DPS Drk's in OT situations ESPECIALLY, simply due to TP. Equilibrium keeps a Wars TP afloat. Drk burns their TP in literally 3 Blood Weapons if they have constant uptime.
