Agreed, the other classes don't have resource starvation like Drk does it's very noticeable VS Pld and War with their gauges and CDs where if Drk were to use DA + DM and TBN in conjunction that's your resources gone, not to mention Grit STILL costs tons of mana if you factor that in. Aggro generation with no Nin is super noticeable too as they struggle with threat VS War and Pld with their short CDs and tools that Drk wishes they had, not to mention how strong Pld and War DPS CDs are too.

It's honestly sad that Drk falls so short against the other tanks whether it be resource management, DPS, Mitigation, and threat, very unacceptable.
