    I like to Plunge right onto an enemy SMN and burst them down then be an annoying to healers after. Of course there are plenty of other things that can be done, and sometimes better plays are available, but if you do just this until you figure out how to DRK you'll at least be moderately useful.

    Don't forget Tar Pit in a nice tight pack of enemies is amazing.
    Now that you mention it, I suppose a small part of the reason was that I had already exhausted my hotkeys on DRK much like I had on DRG, so PvP skills are always awkward and slow to deploy for me since I can't stand click-to-use keys unless it's something like Songs or Oaths which don't need very quick reaction times. It throws me a bit in that sense perhaps, though maybe I should give it another go at some point. His gear has improved a lot since and he still needs Esoterics so there'd be no harm trying I guess.

    That's terrible! PvP abilities are WAYYY too useful to not have easy access to them!

    This should be a Provoke.

    That's how Provoke worked in during Ballista in FFXI. It could really screw over a healer since if you're voked you can't cure.

    Lol we talking tanks yea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZLaThCwYCM

    Lel jokes aside this is what I think after playing the three tanks a bit.

    WAR: High damage burst tank with dumb survivability, with 7 self healing abilities all used in the vid above. Maim, SE, berserk + IR and 5 stacks then full swing, stun, cleave, infuriate, cleave and they should be dead unless they are being focused healed.

    PLD: CC King, 6 second stun + 6 second pacification for physical dps, or a 2 second silence instead for casters. GGs they become useless while your team kills them.

    DRK: The Chaser, good at sticking to someone with plunge into low blow into tar pit allows your team to catch up and decent sustained damage output with constant Dark Arts + Souleater.

    If you're a physical dps don't spam on a tank with push back up and don't try 1v1 a half decent tank, you'll most likely just give them a free kill. If they run to you try to CC them and leave them while you deal with the others.

    I think my hotbars are incredibly more simplistic compared to most, haha. My third hotbar is primarily dedicated to emotes so it's very difficult to begin using it any differently and feels harder to perform since I have little practice with it.
