DRK AOE Damage

[TheCount]

I happen to play all three tanks and I don't understand this claim that DRK's are limitless compared to the Warrior and Paladin in their AOE. In fact you're more liable to face the limits of DRK mana unless it's a truly massive pull with lots of small little adds in which case yeah they are pretty much limitless with their resource; but those ocassions where you get that many mobs at once are very few. With DRK you have to be constantly aware of your mana in fights or risk the chance that you use too much and end up not having enough to do that unleash/abyssal drain to get the aggro on that next group of adds that spawn or some similar circumstance. Warriors and Paladins never have this issue.


the only way you'll be TP starved for warrior for example is if you use overpower and only overpower, which is limiting the moves you have available. If you're particularly confident you could even use inner release to spam decimate even.

The DRK's in here should stop exaggerating the AOE potential and 'limitless' resources they have available compared to other tanks, it's not that much of a difference and one of the main themes of DRK is that they are constantly juggling their resources, way more than the other tanks. Sure it's slightly more punishing if a Warrior runs out of TP but it regens quick enough between fights anyway and the fights themselves don't last so long that it's actually an issue
