My Opinion about the Dark knights need redesigning threads.

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.

TP isn't a valid argument in a fight like Ravana where you are constantly not fighting to avoid mechanics. On top of having BRD/MCH for regen. Also I highly doubt Equilibrium maintains a WAR for much longer, granted I'm only 52 with WAR atm, but when I played DRG/MNK in coil even with Invigorate I typically bottomed out around after 3 - 4 mins of pure fighting and needed BRD song. Our dummy tests used a BRD to keep TP going just so we could get an accurate test, which showed them all the same. I guess if you don't have MCH/BRD and you fought long enough the WAR would win out because of TP maintenance, but how much longer can they go with 200 TP every 60s?

Threatening damage or not, reducing raid wide damage is a bonus regardless of how much it is. Do I wish DRK brought more utility? Yes, but they do at least bring some with a stackable damage reduction (reprisal and storm's path), and -10% INT. PLD/DRK will be a pretty poor tanking combo, but DRK/WAR has some nice utility.
