I'm typically top 3 DPS on Bis Ex, with only one Slaying accessory and my stats in STR, as DRK. I always keep up with WAR in the fight, and WAR takes WAY more damage than we do. It's just that the forums are all crying about how "bad it is" when half the people complaining don't even play the class.

I've now done EVERYTHING every other tank does, and either kept up with or just plain crushed them on DPS.
