Defensive ability, WAR VS DRK

[Xenosan]

(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.
