Dat Fell Cleave tho...

Maim is 20% damage with no penalty.
Darkside is 15% damage buff with huge MP sacrifice.

Methinks you don't play Marauder.

However, even Warrior isn't overpowered in my Opinion because they are a high risk high reward stance dancing tank. They risk losing the battle due to their recklessness.

Well, to be honest I was comparing Deliverance and Defiance, not Maim. TY for the correction btw, I do play Maurader. but the DRK not so much, just keep up on the forum threads. probably shouldn't have compared Deliverance to Darkside...though in my defense DS is a bit more like Deliverance then it is Maim. DS is a stance that is instantly triggerable, whereas Maim's buff is based on whether you hit or not, and lies behind a few GCD's, but i digress. the DRK skills wasn't the point.

And it seems like we agree on the High risk concept, which was what I was trying to express to the other person. in order for that player, in the video, to get the numbers they got, they were in Deliverance the WHOLE TIME. Maim was inconsequential at that point, as they really weren't tanking (and a WAR would use maim whether they were in Deliverance or Defiance). Even WITH Maim, and Deliverance (i.e. no extra mitigation bonuses, no real extra threat outside 2 skils), that WAR was only 70-100 DPS head of the DRK. Thats allot of risk for a very small reward.

And for the record, It would seem like the DRK could use some tweaks. I won't go too far into that as I don't play the DKR much, but if they had more effective TP management, and some adjustements to mitigation skills, they would be in a pretty sweet spot. But that has to do more with DRK balance (which i brought up in another thread), then WAR OP-ness.
