The Definitive Dark Knight Guide

I don't buy into Warriors being higher DPS, and with all the new parses being posted with DRK's almost hitting 1k outside of grit on reddit I've yet to see a Warrior push those numbers.

Player skill will always be the determining factor, but....

on paper WARs should be doing more. Deliverance is +5%, maim is +20, so (100 * 1.05) * 1.2 = 126% all the time. Season with Berserk as necessary. In Defiance, they only do 90% damage compared to our 92%

You aren't taking into consideration that every potency that WAR has, outside of Fel Cleave and Inner Beast is on the low side. Their combos average ~200 Potency, their DoT Fracture is only 300, and they have one off global for 50 potency every 20s. OGCDs alone the WAR does 150 potency every 60s while DRK does 1440 potency (1790 if they DA Carve and Spit) and PLD does 1200. They can stack damage buffs but it is really meant to bring them in line, not make them machines.

@JayCommon I thought Ravana Ex's tank buster was supposed to be shared? I've seen plenty of videos of people solo tanking him though, specifically a strength stacked WAR eat it in Deliverance and watched him drop to ~10% HP, made me cringe inside as a tank, no amount of tank DPS is worth that butt hole clencher!

Well, the entire point of single tanking content designed for 2 tanks is to get the fastest time possible for no other reason than to simply get the fastest time possible. Groups doing this don't exactly need the drops.

Personally I find it a lot of fun to "break" the obviously intended design and make a fight more challenging just for the heck of it!

Agreed. I don't think DRKs would typically do as much DPS as a WAR if two equally skilled players are involved.
