Anyway, Lyth basically covered everything. The only thing I'd add is that Storm's Path is OP and often overlooked. Even with changing Storm's Eye and WAR's DPS, Path is still extremely strong in progression and can be seen as mandatory at low enough gear levels.

I'll also say that DRK/PLD isn't that bad, you shouldn't use it for early progression but it's otherwise not too much of a detriment. Yeah, WAR/X would be better, but if the DRK and PLD were competent then I wouldn't mind being in their group.
