People like you are so petty. I don't know why people like you assume it has to be that.

It can't be that people don't like how it plays, or the lack of utility, or the lower damage, or any other number of things individually or combined. I could argue the same, that DRK players are only mad because they are at the bottom and not mandatory but it woudn't be true because people are upset about legitimate issues.
Because before 4.05 (4.06 ? I never remember) War was much more clunky to use, and when the changes were announced, top players had already choosed, leveled up, trained with and geared their picks. You can't make the equivalent of one month of work (maybe less ?) in a few days. Moreover, drk might be better for progress because it delivers consistent damage, it's not built around burst windows that you can blow away because you don't know the fight (at least, I think it was the reason. Correct me if i'm wrong)

And it really depends on what you consider best player in the world. If you consider the top speedrunners, there are really few drks, only pld's and war's. You can see more drk's in o2s and o4s because of magic damage.
