PLD or WAR for DRK

[Morphiana]

Awareness is not necessary.

Not true on so many levels. If you're mass pulling crits are most definitely a thing you'll be taking in the face.

Also, the Warrior ability Raw Intuition would like a word with you.

Raw Intuition: Parries all attacks taken from the front for 20s. All attacks taken from the flank or rear will result in critical damage.

Paired with Awareness which negates critical damage.

Example: Pull a large group as Warrior. More often than not some will try to get behind and at your flank. While Awareness doesn't perfectly overlap you can use Raw Intuition then throw up Awareness 4 seconds later - Forget worrying about their crits from that point forward.

off topic opinion tho DRK is a terrible class and you should stick with PLD or WAR instead.
