Getting refused to EX groups as a DRK

[Nektulos-Tuor]

I'm really confused how this works. How is DRK parsing lower than PLD exactly? TP Starve? PLD has the same exact TP costs as DRK. They -should- be seeing the same point of starvation if they're doing the typical combos. 70 > 60 > 60. Now don't mind me, I'm just curious. I don't know what PLD's new Offensive abilities are if that should even factor into it.

Paladin abilities have more potency. They also have Fight or Flight and SWORD Oath, which is more damage then darkside. None of these abilities have an MP penalty either. Although many seem to think they lack in AOE, they can now trigger their new high damage dots to secure aggro on multiple opponents.

You could say a Dark Knight's abilities have more potency, but realisticly how many times can you really use Dark Arts? without it several of your abilities are worthless. Compared to Paladin which needs nothing to enhance his abilities.

Shield Swipe is also a free big attack after a block. (VERY LOW TP COST!)

Shield Swipe is one of the big kickers, which would not show up on the parse.
