Where something is and where it can potentially be do not always equate.

This is the second game forum I've been on in the past week where somebody said that the consensus says something. The last forum, an actual poll was taken only to find out that the "consensus" was only a little over 30% while the opposition was over 50% with the remaining undecided.

ffxiv.2digitalgames.de stop ignoring this site. This site is cold hard numbers the game expects each job to do in a vacuum. A DRK with a slashing debuff can deal comparable DPS to a WAR. I don't see what further discussion is warranted.

I just don't understand why someone comes to the forums for information if they're just going to require everyone there to go fetch information elsewhere for them before they'll be satisfied. If the information we have in our heads isn't good enough and you just want us to link you stuff, why not just eliminate the middle man and google it yourself instead of impetuously calling into question everyone's credibility?

I wasn't ignoring it. I wasn't sure if you were making a comment or...

Nobody is requiring anything, just asking. Again, you have the choice to reply. You make it sound like it's such an inconvenience as if it takes up a lot of your time however, you spent the time evading many questions by explaining why you feel you shouldn't have to answer them.

A few things:

1. If you buff Darkside anymore than 15% your better say goodbye to all the raiding PLDs. They already have to more than prove their worth in our tank dps focused meta. DRK would become the undisputed MT (kinda how WARs are auto slotted to OT) bc even if you are trash at stance dancing you can pump out more dps.

2. In terms of DPS - OT: WAR>DRK>PLD Stance dancing MT: WAR=DRK>PLD Turtle MT: DRK>>PLD=WAR There is some debate about the exact numbers of this hierarchy(mostly the equal ones), but for the most part ppl are in agreement. Anyone who want to test this common knowledge is more than capable of seeking out the research. Its disrespectful to the time and effort that ppl have invested in developing these forums into a valuable resource to willfully disregard this information for your own expediency.

3. DRK has less representation in high end content for two reasons, its hard to play and its newer. DRK can mitigate like a PLD and dps like a WAR in the MT slot, but only if you are VERY good at it. The skill cap for that kind of play is higher - as it should be. Your getting the best of both worlds. So one should not be surprised to see it less represented.
