Dark Knight - OT or MT?

It is hard to say one way or the other with the very little information we have at the moment.

It'll either avoid damage or recover a high % of each dmg taken to keep it fair while being a tank class.

I'm expecting their invincibility ability to be drain spikes absorbing 95%+ dmg for 10+ seconds.

Seems silly to have it based on evasion/parry when parry only works on physical attacks. o.o

They shroud their weapons with dark magics, partially deflecting magical attacks.

Or something.

Not too thrilled about evasion tanks, but we'll see.

Eh, maybe. And yeah, I'm not really all that happy to see this.

Evasion/parry as they are now are totally dependent on RNG.

I doubt at the core they will play much different than Warriors and Paladins. They've pretty much figured out how to balance classes by making them pretty much the same.

I suspect that DRK will have built in mitigation like Paladin (I'm guessing a spike shield type buff. Basically a lower powered Vengeance that is on all the time). Then they'll probably just make ability drains for the actives. Like reduce enemy defense by 10% and increase defense of the DRK by 10%, decrease enemy attack by 10%, increase DRK by 10%, etc. I'm sure a high powered HP drain will be thrown into the mix as well.
