I do know how to play drk this my alt character and she is lvl 60 all jobs

Can you explain your reasoning on this buff? Because +10-15% DPS is quite large, and as far as I'm aware the gap between DRK DPS and WAR DPS isn't that big. I'd be more than willing to look at the numbers if you've got them, though.

They could increase the damage % but only while grit is active. So only tank DPS goes up a smidge while straight DPS without grit stays the same.

Level 60 with a job only tells me you got to level 60 on a job.

I have level 60 bard and wouldn't say i know how to play it.
I can play it, but not to the same level as raiding bards.

DRK's Grit DPS is already ridiculously high. It smokes Defiance and Shield Oath DPS by a noticeable margin.

"Smidge" already describes the gap between Grit DRK and non-Grit DRK, relative to the other tanks.

Where do people come up with these suggestions? Not being snarky I'm honestly very truly curious. Like, what is happening to you in your little world on your server playing DRK that you think it needs these things? o.o

Actually, going by your standards that you've been speaking about, Valkyriearia is your ideal veteran.

I'd like to see some non-theoretical numbers, if you can find any.

Here are some non-theoretical numbers on tank DPS in midas savage

[Alphras]

These numbers have nothing to do with the damage difference in Grit/ShO/Defiance though.

I think thy should buff darkside from 15% to 25% r 30% like pld so drk can keep up with warrior i know ppl like tank to just stand n take dmg but if we can do good dmg too more ppl will play tank role thn duty finder won't be so slow

I'm too proud of this answer to only let it be used once, so here you go:

While we're at it, let's change Tempered Will for PLD, and make it so it now multiplies the potency of all your attacks by 3 for 45 seconds with a 60s recast, that also makes you shoot lasers.

I see 4% of those people being DRK. Does this help the statement that the difference between the 2 is small?
