Defensive ability, WAR VS DRK

[Xariann]

Hi All,

EDIT: Check my calculations in this post.

------------------------------ PRE-EDIT STUFF ---------------------------------

First of all let me premise that I have not been tanking seriously since Bravura was the best weapon you could get. So I might be a little out of date when writing this.

I levelled my DRK up to 46, I started reading about it more and people said it was squishy and went back to Warrior. When I look at their skillset though, I am unclear as to what is causing it. Warrior doesn't have Shadow Wall. Also the Warrior doesn't spam IB like the DRK spams Souleater (with Soul Devourer).

If I am using IB, I am dropping my 10% parry buff, while DRK gets Dark Dance every minute and can have 20%.

Then there is the controllable Storm Path VS RNG Reprisal.

Warrior does get more healing on them, but a hit on a warrior should the same amount of a hit on a DRK. I guess Shadow Wall doesn't compensate for that being on a 180 secs CD and all...

If you hit level 60 with the DRK, do you/your healers still think you are hard to heal once you have everything?
