It gets better, my dude. Req is 50 percent potency boost, so it's actually 1200 potency with NO fall off.

Instant cast on target, so you can move out of an AoE and still AoE mobs unlike the other tanks.

PLD is just too comfy for me. I'm going to raid on it, and track my performance (If you catch my drift) on all tank jobs like I did for Alphascape. But I want something different, and DRK is that different type of thing. WAR and PLD are too familiar to me, and GUN takes TWENTY levels to get to max, so for Early access, the choice is clear, for DRK.
