Stage 7: Acceptance.

I pretty much knew I would be forced off paladin as soon as we saw the normal mode fight. I stayed on paladin for the whole time on brute justice and it probably cost us weeks (no mnk). It's a stupid situation but it's one I expect by now. Hopefully 4.0 pushes paladin and dark knight away from each other gameplay wise but closer to each other in capability. Without that it'll always be this way since raid damage is just harder to deal with than tank damage and physical tank damage is never so high that a dark knight can't take it with some adjustments to virus placement, etc.

With that said you can certainly make pld's cooldowns work for every buster with an early HG but everything is just easier with dark mind and reprisal anyway. I also don't really want to derail this thread.

Regardless of anything else they do in the expansion I really hope they cut Awareness.
