DRK vs. WAR: how do they compare?

[RyuDragnier]

I recently got back in the game, so I've only recently got my first clear of P5S, but TBN has been pretty decent for Toxic Bite/Venomous Mass. TBN's 15 second cooldown really shines through for mitigating the DoT of yourself and your co-tank, as I can initially put TBN+Oblation on myself to mitigate the initial damage and then the DoT, and then cover the main tank's DoT another TBN since the CD is so short. Not to mention Venom Surge/Squall. The extra mitigation for the auto-attacks+DoT is really nice.

Not to say DRK doesn't need more sustain; I still wish Abyssal Drain had some more raid use.

I really wish AD was the MP spender and not Flood. No Darkside gain, has the same initial damage as Edge, but with a 400 Cure Potency and a 35% drop in damage for each enemy hit other than the original target. Cure Potency would drop to 200 per other enemy hit as well (if you really wanted to avoid it being busted in dungeons).

Agreed, I'll type out the rest of my reply in the Dark Knight Megathread as to not go off-topic in this one
