Opening as a Dark Knight?

[Berzullha]

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with this thread but this is legit the first time I've heard about this. Have people been doing this for a long time or is this a new strat to 3.5? Also when the DRK provokes does he stay out of grit and when exactly is the swap supposed to take place?

That's already known for the 3.x. Gordias had WAR pull tanking A1S and A4S at the very least. DRK normally can voke once WAR is in pacification, as long as WAR isnt using BB combo, the drk should have enough aggro lead. Or voke Power Slash after Berserk is out.

The main reason for this sudden change was 2.x has PLD spamming RoH because that's the only combo worth mentioning. When lvl60 introduced more skills to do damage, that's when WAR pulling becomes way more viable.
