    Honestly bloodbath in long run will heal for more and not take damage penalty.

    Parry rate could increase to maybe 50%. Just like how Dark Mind and Apoc can stack to like 44% magic dmg reduction. Maybe more with supervirus.

    However we still have the same issue regardless if we go into OT role. Meaning other then more damage and INT down we got nothing. Blind from DP is generally worthless in endgame content.

    I ran some back of the envelope numbers using parsing data from the reddit page on tank parsing in 3.2 and found something interesting. The data is a 3 min parse and had the theoretical ceiling for WAR at around 980 dps with 924 for DRK (that includes 10% slashing debuff for both w/o DRK is at 840). Using these numbers and adding in the effects for BfB it brings DRK up to around 955. Parsing data on a dummy is actually a decent representation of OT potential. While I agree DRKs Delirium problems with Dragonkick need to be addressed, this change would help close the damage gap that WARs have over the other two tanks in the OT slot making other combinations more viable.

    BfB can be good for OT role yes this is very true. Of that no one should disagree. Besides a DRK is known for taking those big risks and BfB would fit in nicely.

    However I don't think Crossclass skills are going to change. I've always kinda hated the fact if they are crossclass then you should be able to choose from any of them. The limitation of 2 specific crossclass trees is quite irritating and limited selection of skills as well.
