to Future DRK Players

[Bhearil]

I think many players just went to DRK because the edgy dark look plus being the expansion poster boy. Expect DRK numbers to plummet on EW since Reaper looks cool as hell, its new and doesnt bore you to sleep compared to DRK rotation, so many will just go play Reaper

I doubt that. Reaper is DPS and DRK is tank. I doubt people picked DRK if they dont like tanking since you are froced to tank since the first ARR dungeon you unlock if you picked tank. If someone doesn't like it - edge or not - he won't enjoy it.

Reaper will probably be the most popular job on release since even tank players have DPSes leveled up and everyone will jump on Reaper boat (well, not everyone, but many) but I doubt Reaper will have anything to do with DRK numbers vs any other job. If anything I think other melee DPS numbers will plummet, since for them Reaper will be the equivalent of DRK for tank players. Most healer/tank mains will level Reaper and then go back to their fav playstyle.

Besides there is big difference between DRK and RPR when it comes to look. I for example enjoy Dark Knight for his heavy armor and gigantic sword, RPR doesn't speak to me at all. If anything I think Reaper is not really interesting, even though I love darkness of DRK.
