    Thier mechanic heavily depends on Darkside which reduce their damage loss to 5% which allows them to perform more damage than PLD and WAR when it comes to tanking.

    Not to mention their Main Tank buff is Dark Dance which is on a 60 second cooldown and provides 30% increase in parry with the addition of 20% increase chance of dodge with Dark Arts.

    DRK appears more designed to be a Off-tank than Warrior was but darn can it keep aggro a bit better due to having higher Damage rate than PLD and WAR.
    Except Wars currently blow Drk out of the water when it comes to OT, and in damage.

    They sure as hell do not do more damage than a War, and Pld comes incredibly close in terms of damage, to the point where that isn't a strength to Drk's.

    And no, Dark Dance is not their Main Tank buff, it's a trash mob buff because that is all it's useful for. You're not dodging anything that matters in places like Ravana EX, nor is a 30% extra chance to mitigate 20% damage going to do anything for you. It just doesn't happen with that buff.
