The Definitive Dark Knight Guide

[Rbstr]

Well, I guess it's also a concern that there doesn't seem to be much OT utility for the DRK. PLD has heals, stoneskin, + rage of halone debuff. WAR has storm's path/storm's eye. DRK only has delerium, which is completely useless if there's a MNK in the party.

I agree with this. War gets two good debuffs, 20% damage from maim and now 5% damage deliverance and 500pot Fell Cleave pretty often and Zerk for huge burst. DRK has only Delerium, and that will often just be overwriten by a monk. Nothing so far would proc Reprisal reliably when you're OT. Kinda Lame.

However, I think DRK might really bring the DPS as OT. Darkside is only a 15% bonus, but they have very strong attacks. Scourge for 500pot (Fracture is only 300!), 525 from Salted Earth (though that has downtime). And 400 from a DAed Souleater. As OT they're Siphoning constantly and can use Blood Weapon toreally crank out the Dark Arts. Even without DA, the Delirium and Soul combos have War-equivalent (SE/SP) potency. Hard to call now.
