"MT" and "OT" is absolutely meaningless in this fight.
That aside, wtf. I did everything like Xeno but as a DRK during the whole fight, except the very last mob at the very end where I asked for a switch, but that was absolutely not needed and wouldn't have changed my tanking or my DPS.

And once again (2nd time you conveniently misread to turn this into a contest for some reasons), it's not about my dps against others dps, it's about DRK's DPS against WAR's DPS. I did 1020 by doing way more mistakes than Xeno or that other 1050 DPS WAR in your video. I'm just simply being realistic considering my mistakes about the DRK performance if played properly. Hopefully I'll be able to raid soon and perform better so I can bring up more accurate numbers.

I won't bother debating about the mitigation, you didn't read what I said about IB & Storn Path and you seem heavily biaised anyway (PLD's Shield and Bullwark is "reliable" but Dark Dance isn't even worth mentionning, 'k).

You're right about Bloodbath, doesn't work on spells. Too bad.

However we're talking about DRK in A2S. So, a DRK that is getting hit a lot. Blood Price give more MP than you can consume by spamming Abyssal Drain during its entire duration, so you can manage the fight in a way that will allow you to always be able to AoE whenever it's worth it, unlike WAR, thus Abyssal Drain is free.
