DRK at 60?

[Velstriker]

I think it has to do with DRK being new and people figuring out how to play it. I hit 60 DRK a few days ago and I am still tweaking my CD rotation and skill flow. One thing that really helped me when tanking big pulls at 60 was to combine DA+Dark Dance and DA+Dark Passenger. So a big pull would now go: pop Shadow Wall (30% damage reduction), gather all mobs together, pop Blood Price (getting hit returns mp) , DA + Abyssal Drain (increased enmity and hp return), Salted Earth, about this time Shadow Wall should be about gone so I hit the DA+Dark Dance and DA+Dark Passenger (This gives +30% parry rate, +20% evasion, and Blinds everyone). At that point everything misses or gets parried and I take almost no damage. Work in a Convo for 20% more heals and I am g2g to gather mp for more DA+Abyssal drain or DA+Souleater. I'm sure this isn't the optimal rotation for large pulls, but its a great start for learning the job. Sorry you are getting scrub DRK, but I think it will get better as more and more people figure everything out.
