Is DRK ever getting adjustments?

[FallenWings]

DRK is hitting 165 per Unleash(GCD) and 275x3(Flood oGCD) and Abyssal/Salted for an extra 220 and 396 respectively(also oGCD).

Delirium lets them hit Quietus 5 times for 231 each hit.

You can get 600 mp per hit of Unleash in Blood weapon for about 4 times thanks to Unleash being strictly 2.5 second recast which totals to 2400. Add in the leftover 1000 MP thanks to our 10k MP total and thats another free 275 AoE oGCD potency. Natural regen and a bonus 600mp from Carve and Spit should the pack last long enough should let you blast out a 5th Flood for another 275 AoE oGCD potency.

Warrior spends the first three GCDs building up Storm's eye(Single target) then rotates into Overpower(143) and (220) ad infinitum with a free Decimate(275) per minute. They can Berserk for 5 GCDs every 90 seconds but then every other tank just crits naturally which closes the gap from any gain on Berserk.

PLD rotates 120-220 with a CoS(369) every 25 seconds and Flight or Fight every minute.

GNB rotates 150-250 with Bow Shock(780) and No Mercy every minute.

In a 30 second pull scenario
DRK will have used 12 Unleashes, 5 Floods, 1 Salted, 1 AD.

WAR will have used 4 Overpowers, 4 Mythril Tempests and 1 Decimate.

PLD will have used 6 Total Eclipses, 6 Prominences and 1 Circle of Scorn.

GNB will have used 6 Demon Slice, 6 Demon Slaughter and 1 Bow Shock.

---------------

DRK
12x 165 (1980)
5x 275 (1375)
1x 396
1x 220.

3971


WAR
4x 143 (572)
4x 220 (880)
1x 250

1702

Or if they have holdover/prepared Storm's Eye

+286(2 Overpowers)
+440(2 Mythril Tempests)

2428

Slap on a generous 996 pot from Berserk if you want to assume the other tanks never crit. (2 Overpowers, 2 Mythril Tempests and 1 Decimate Direct Critting) and Warrior still Falls Short at 3424.

Op>MT is a 33 pot gain over 2x Unleash.
Warrior will then need 16 more GCDs to catch up to DRKs burst in the same in which DRK is still casting 16 more Unleashes.


PLD

6x 120
6x 220
368

2408. Or 2918 with Fight or Flight applied (across all 12 gcds even though it should be 11)

TE>PE is a 10 pot gain over 2x Unleash. PLD will need to cast 100 more GCDs(lol) to catch up to DRK in which DRK would have casted 100 Unleashes.

GNB

6x 150
6x 250
1x 780

3180. Or 3660 with No mercy applied (across all 12 gcds even though it should be 9)

DS>DeS is a 70 pot gain over 2x Unleash. GNB just needs 5 more to overtake DRKs Burst but DRK would have casted 5 more Unleashes. GNB is pretty busted early levels in all fairness and they're relatively even with GNB pulling ahead all tanks in general in early dungeons.

TLDR DRK is fine.

Side note: Bow Shock is gained at 62. Pre 62 GNB would be missing 780 pot every minute from their total which is substantial. DRK and WAR numbers are post Darkside/Storm's Eye respectively(10% Damage buff). Circle of Scorn and Bow Shock are also post FoF and NM respectively.

Add in another 605 for DRK if you want Delirium to be considered. Queitus is 66 pot gain over Unleash(5*66=330) and grants 500mp per cast, 5 casts granting another Flood for 275 free oGCD pot.
