Dat Fell Cleave tho...

The Dark Knight also used a trick to get abilities he could never normally get now that Dark Arts is fixed. Lets just say that he got 5 upgraded abilities he would no longer have.

You could macro Dark Arts so it wouldn't go away, and you could burn all of your instant abilities making them do a lot more damage.

It was an exploit, a pretty big one.

Without that exploit they are probably down 200 dps, which is almost on-par if not worse then Paladin.

Which confirms my comment that the DRK could use some more tweaking. doesn't change the point of the thread...that the WAR isn't really doing too much DPS. even when they sacrifice most of their ability to tank, they are still 200-400 DPS behind good DPS classes. And I have yet to see a video with PLD damage, so I can't say where they are.

EDIT: I pondered my comment a bit, and realized that overall, I don't know what image the Dev's have for Tanks and their DPS. But then again, no one does. so where should they be? is 200-400 DPS behind DPS classes acceptable? if so, then the WAR is the threshold that tanks should reach for. If DRK is the threshold, then perhaps WAR is doing more then expected? or perhaps they are OK with WAR doing that much as they have to sacrifice their tanking in order to obtain it.

Or, perhaps the DRK really is just in need of some tweaking, as it is a new class...and has only been out for a month. And I have yet to see examples of PDL and their poor DPS. so if anyone has videos for PLD 3.0 I'd love to see em! from what PLD's are saying on the forums their DPS is great...but that could be compared to what they're used to having...who knows.
