DEV Request: Please do not make DRK a 1-2-3 like PLD was

[Ultimatecalibur]

You can't count GB/RA or SE/SP as "one modifiable" combo because their difference has a huge impact on how you plan your rotation.
On the other hand DRK has basically no rotation at all. They just spam the same combo over and over.

When you get down to it a Paladin's core DpS rotation is spamming the RA combo unless you need to reapply GB which you just replace a RA with.
When you get down to it a Warrior's core DpS rotation is spamming the SP combo unless you need to reapply SE which you just replace a SP with.
When you get down to it a Dark Knight's core DpS rotation is spamming the SE combo unless unless you have excess MP so that you augment SS or SE with DA.

No, it's not. If you count the average potency, you'll end up higher with HS -> non-crit-SS -> crit-DA-SE than HS -> crit-DA-SS -> non-crit-SE.

That is faulty math because the gain from a crit DA will be the same no matter which attack crit. Dark arts is additive not multiplicative.
