Defensive ability, WAR VS DRK

[Ditto]

Sorry, derped, i meant to type "problem". No idea why I wrote that.

Maybe it's not a problem because there are alternatives. They're obviously not as good as TP moves, but we are still doing something. As opposed to a WAR who can't do anything but flash a couple times if he's out of TP.

Well, if we're out of TP, we're not regenerating any MP either outside of Blood Price, which is only good on MP regen when you're being attacked by multiple targets. The best thing to do is lay off and only use costless skills for a little. Refresh scourge, then just sit back until some TP comes back. There is too much a need for your MP to blow it all on low damage, crappy single target skills, which you will. Better to sit on your MP and save it for if something goes wrong while waiting for the other one to replenish itself.

And a War could just stance into Deliverance, pop Equilibrium, then go back into Defiance I'm pretty sure. Thats 200 TP every 60 seconds if they don't need the cure.

(WAr is (1*.75)*1.25=90% of normal. Dark is (1*.80)*1.15=92% of normal.

Not disagreeing with your overall point,

but more accurately WAR is (<Potency>*0.75)*1.20. Yes? Maim is 20%, not 25%. WAR is below DRK on true value per point of potency.

Butcher's Block VS Delirium true potency while in stance (both are 280 potency): BB = 252 VS Del = 257

However, Berserk increases Attack Power, and Unchained removes the -25%. Significant.

And Inner Beast & Steel Cyclone always ignore the 25% reduction.

It's close, which comes out on top depends on player, specifically the DRK, who is dropping DPS if they fail to utilize CDs and Dark Arts optimally

edit: regarding TP, DRK will run out before PLD or WAR. Unmend into Proc'd Unleash a couple/few GCDs to replenish (conserving MP). It's meh. Shield Swipe is 210 potency, WAR can stance dance.

<Goad> plz.
