    I mean this is true, but in the same token WAR can OP spam w/ Berserk + IR + Bloodbath with Decimate weaved in and Equilibrium back TP. The main advantage DRK has solo against trash is Shadowskin and Shadow Wall, whereas WAR only has Vengeance for damage reduction since Thrill works as a self heal without a healer (you can RI + Awareness but 1. that's better against a boss and 2. you're not going to get everything out of RI). Living Dead will actually kill you, though, whereas Holmgang you can potentially survive with. It's not entirely worth discussing though, both can do fine soloing stuff (except some harder stuff that only WAR can manage due to self healing on top of necessary DPS required). PLD, on the other hand... not so great for trash.

    Lots of CD that have far less uptime than Blood Price + Dark Arts + Abyssal Drain.

    Ok, but generally you're just pulling half the dungeon and AOEing everything down, and unless you are for some reason doing lvl 51-60 dungeons solo then everything will die when WAR's CDs run out. Unless your gear is trash, in which case DRK has a slight advantage but again, not entirely relevant, doesn't really matter, do it on either, etc.

    Also WAR does higher damage on bosses due to the slashing debuff. But, again, irrelevant, blah blah blah.
